Traci let go of the axe and stumbled back, falling to one knee while her hands clutched at her jaw. She was stunned for the time being.
Bedlam cheered.
"Hell yeah! Get to fighting!"

[i]Irina would get serious, then, bringing Panta in for a hug then.[/i] "Hey, hey.. it'll be alright. We all have those situations.. it just means that there's someone else out there, just for you."
-
"I just....I don't...." Panta hugged back, burying her face into Irina's shoulder. "Why not me? I mean...I'm younger and small and...but...I...Ugh!"
-
"...It'll be alright. Relationships are hard to maintain at your age, especially with older individuals. But don't take your anger out on the couple, alright? They're happy together.. though I'd argue that the person would be much happier with you." [i]Irina's fingers ran throughout Panta's hair, as she patted the girl's back.[/i]
-
"Why am I not good enough? Is it my height? Is it my age? Why doesn't he love me?" Panta cried into Irina's shoulder, shaking a bit.
-
"It's not that he doesn't love you.." [i]Irina would whisper, nodding. While she had handled such things more.. calmly, when she was Panta's age, she could understand yet.[/i] "There are plenty of other boys out there, just for you. But you shouldn't be focused on dating and love. At your age.. it's not as serious nor as happy."

-
"Don't say that." [i]Irina tightened her arms around Panta, sighing.[/i] "Don't ever believe that you aren't any help. Damnit.. you've helped me out more than you might think that you have."
-
"How could I have helped you? All I've done is asked and gotten help from you..." Panta sniffled. "I can't do anything..."
-
"...you'd be surprised. Enough about me." [i]Irina sighed, hugging the child tightly as she abruptly changed the subject.[/i] "...it'll be alright. You've got potential.. you know that, right? To be an upstanding young woman. To be a role model to younger generations. I couldn't ask for a better child, than you.. ...well, there's Mion.. but you get what I mean."
-
"Thank you, mother...." Panta hugged Irima tightly, giving her a squeeze. "I love you so much....I couldn't ask for a better mother."
-
"...Listen, I.. I know a girl. She's a little.. wacky. Not the bad kind, just nervous. She's older than you. But.. with your abilities, she could really help you out, or at least try to help out. You think that we could visit her sometime?"
-
"I-I have no abilities, but I can try, mother. If that's what you wamt then I'll do it whenever you feel is the right time." Panta nodded, agreeing to do it.
