Ace watched as Harper stood, curiously raising an eyebrow. She then smiled and saluted with her good hand. "I've been through worse." She laughed lightly and stood with Harper. The sudden serious tone of his made her nod simply. It wad true whether they wanted to believe it or not. The other group may have had more people, but that didn't mean any of them were experienced. Nonetheless, Ace had full faith in them. She trusted they wouldn't die. They couldn't. But after all the hard work they put into making it this far. She saw the determination in their eyes every time they spoke of going home. It would have been sick a waste of they didn't accomplish their dreams. It made her wonder about her own dreams and wishes. She didn't have much of a reason to go home like everyone else, and she didn't really want to leave either.

The thought left her before she finished thanks to bandages that were tossed to her. "Oh thanks." She said before slowly bandaging from her palm to a little under her wrist. The other injuries were left alone, and she tossed the bandages back to Zephy. She didn't want to waste them if they were needed again. Like Inadi said,  who knew what else was in the cave. "Onward, to the others it is." Harper led the way, and Ace took up the rear, to make sure no one fell too far behind. Leila was by Harper and Inadi fell into step beside her. Ace looked over at him when he spoke to her. 

[I]. “I think he pushes himself too hard. Did he do that whole brave act against the sirens or whatever else you all did before I showed up?”[/I]

The girl couldn't help but laugh softly towards Inadi's worry. She smiled and patted his shoulder, looking over at Harper. "It's for a good reason. He knows that he won't survive if he is doubtful and cowering away from the challenge." Ace crossed her arms, adjusting her hat in the process. "He pushes himself because he wants everyone to be safe, and because he wants to go home." With a playful grin, she added. "And that's no act. Harper is the bravest kid I know!" [I]'Heh, and I don't know that many people.'[/I] "For someone to be as scared as he was, standing up to danger? That's pretty darn brave to me. It's him tapping into his inner bravery. You just have to be there to give him a slight nudge forward every now and then."

What Ace said, she believed to be one hundred percent true. For Harper to brave through everything he was afraid of was pretty admiring. She was a little shocked that he didn't keel over when she had first met him. Jasper too. But they were both braving through it. They were both strong to her. Ace didn't know the others as well, but she could probably say they were all fairly unique in their own way. "Heh, no need to worry Inadi. Harper is fine. He won't go over board." She sounded so sure of herself, even though the possibilities were endless. But she stayed optimistic,  and she kept moving forward.
