Aya allowed herself to relax a little when Laelia let go of her, but still kept herself tense.  She softened more when Laelia told her her story.  "I... I see," she said finally, walking up to the woman to put a hand on her shoulder.  "I didn't know they could do something like that to a person."  She stepped back a bit, letting her hand fall off the half-demoness's shoulder, and sighed.  "Thank you, for the apology.  And the warning.  I... would rather not be raped, but I'm not a fighter, I don't think I could do anything to hold others off me."
