[b]She turned to him, and walked over. She lays hand on his shoulder. She would be the one to reassure this time.[/b]
"If the reds catch up to us, we'll be ready. We have to reinforce the defenses at the ship. We'll barricade the entrances if we have to. As long as we don't make any enemies, we'll be fine. Look at me, Ly. In the eyes. Take your goggles off. Would I not be sure about this? I've researched this place as much as I have any other. Would you rather be on the run the rest of your life, and die of old age in a dusty, empty cruiser? I know I wouldn't."
[b]She slid her goggles down, exposing her striking, yellow eyes. Her eyes were firm, like their mother's when she had told them to escape all those years ago.[/b]

[i]Ly lifted his own goggles to his forehead, his orange eyes gazing into her sister's. His eyes were full of uncertainty and fear, but he was willing to do anything for his sister; and that included staying on a planet where everything was new and alien.[/i] "... the cruiser has a buffet," [i]He said, chuckling slightly, but Ry knew that she had easily won him over. They would stay.[/i]
-
[b]Ry let a soft smile slip, a rare occurrence. She was never one to smile like that, out of literal joy and love for her brother. She was actually happy for once in months. Ever since she'd seen his more bloodthirsty side a few months back... Well... Things weren't the same. Nevertheless, she was happy he was on board.[/b] "Just so you know, we're still sleeping in the ship. I'll grant you that much comfort in familiarity."
-
[i]Ly sighed with gratitude, a smile appearing on his face. His bloodthirsty side had been quite the sight to see, no matter how terrifying; so many deaths in such a short time, so much blood pooling on the floors, only because a singular red skin tried to whip his sister. That red skin couldn't even get within a yard.[/i]
-
[b]She patted him on the shoulder, grateful he saw reason for once. She actually gave him a hug at this point, not looking for reassurance for once. Though it rarely showed, she did love her brother for the most part. She decided it was a good time to remind him.[/b]
-
[i]Ly smiled, happy that his protectiveness wasn't wasted on his sister, and hugged her back. Then the red skins came in and blew everything to bits, end.[/i] ((The second part never happened.))
-
[b]She was... Happy. Content. Like she could just stay at the Dojo forever, the rest of her life. She didn't know where this new life would take them, but she was excited for them. She broke away, and looked him in the eyes.[/b] "Now, we really gotta work on talking to other people. We need to start talking to other people."
-
"You just said the same thing twice," [i]Lh commented, frowning.[/i] "But okay. Who do we talk to first?" [i]He asked, taking a small step back away from Ry.[/i]
-
"I don't know... Maybe we can start with that one lady from yesterday... Alice, I think her name was."
-
"Fine by me, where is she?" [i]The writer is unable to think of what to write.[/i]
-
"Uhh... Let's go find her? I don't exactly know."
-
"Okay," [i]He said.[/i] "I'll follow you, sis."
-
"Okay." [b]She leads him around for a little while, until they reach a room. It's labeled 'Ranger Grant'.[/b] "I think our best bet is to ask this Grant guy... Even though I cried last time..."
