[u]Mhmm.[/u]
*She nodded, happily returning the smile. A waitress came up and gave them both glasses of water before leaving.*

"I assume you've been here before. Was it with a friend or something?" She asked, turning to look at Sapphire.

Edited by Skatch142: 1/6/2018 4:04:50 PM[u]I have, actually. My daughter had never tasted crab before and I hadn’t either, so I took her here for her birthday. The food was really good.[/u]
-
"Oh, that sounds lovely. I can't imagine how happy you make her, I bet you're a great parent."
-
[u]Oh thank you. I try to be the best mother I can for her. I didn’t really know what I was getting into at first, but it’s become easier.[/u] *She smiled as she spoke.* [u]I think she would like you.[/u]
-
"You think so? Thanks. I've always been a kid sort of person, but of course I've never come close to having my own."
-
[u]I didn’t think I was a kid sort of person, then Mari came along and changed that.[/u]
-
"Hmm. How did you end up adopting her anyway?"
-
[u]She and her older brother moved to the Dojo after their family had been killed. I had recently befriended her brother when I found her terrified and hiding outside... He had been murdered and she was the only one of her family left alive... So, I made a promise that I would protect her and took her home. The rest is history.[/u] *Her smile had faded as she recalled what Mari had gone through.* [u]She’s gone through too much, really... But she’s strong, and she’s happy.[/u]
-
"Oh..that sounds terrible." Silver sighed, before leaning over and resting a hand on Sapphire's. "At least you're making her happy now."
-
*She nods, taking Silvers’s and and smiling a little.* [u]Yeah.[/u]
-
Silver sat back in her seat again. "I find it really amazing how selfless you were to do such a thing."
-
[u]Thank you. I guess it does come back to what I did in the Sphirin navy, protect the innocent.[/u] *She opened her menu, scanning over the different options.*
-
Silver went over the menu as well. "Navy? You were in a navy of some kind?"
-
Edited by Skatch142: 1/6/2018 9:04:58 PM*She nodded.* [u]Not a navy like the kind most imagine here, space ships instead of water ships. Our job was also to prevent or end war and to defend civilians, rather than actually fighting wars.[/u]
-
"Oh, okay. That sounds neat. I've never been on a spaceship myself."
-
[u]It’s pretty boring really. Not much to do on one.[/u]
-
"Really? I thought the idea of being in space would be sweet. To see the stars up close..."
-
[u]It is at first, but it gets boring after a while. What’s more interesting though are the alien worlds.[/u]
-
"Oh? I've been to plenty of alien worlds. They're a lot of fun, so many adventures!"
-
[u]Well, I was mainly there to fight, but they were quite nice when we weren’t in combat.[/u]
-
"Oh, I never got into too much conflict. I'm not a soldier afterall." She shrugged.
-
*She nodded.* [u]Why were those men attacking you, anyway?[/u]
-
She shrugged again. "I don't know. I think they thought they could make some money off of me or something."
-
[u]Well, that isn’t gonna happen as long as I’m around.[/u]
-
"Or they wanted....pleasure. I think word is getting around about me, a girl able to give people happiness and pleasure."
