DJ watched Alice for a moment, her features remaining firm though she had softened up a bit inside. Alice's words weren't without merit. Then again, the kitsune never had a good approach to these sorts of things. Right now she was just winging it.<br/><br/>Did she really understand what it was like to be in Alice's posisiton? DJ had to ask herself this just to be certain. Her answer was clear, though clearly not the same. Still, it was enough in her mind. She took a deep breath and started walking forward, taking the full brunt of the large sphere's impact head on. While it was clear that she was shaken by the attack, she was virtually unharmed. She continued walking forward.<br/><br/>"...You're young. With youth there often is room for rash and dangerous decisions to be made." DJ said, her tone much gentler than before. "That's why there is a need for someone in your life who has had a chance to make those dumb decisions to guide you along so you don't make those mistakes. That's one thing that family is. It's something that we all need."
