The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you."~[/i][/center] Alessia moved through the streets of Nexus, watching as the moonlight struck the water casting a beautiful reflection from the canal which followed the street path of which she walked. A few of the other players sat on the banks, some even with feet submerged into the virtual water. Maybe some of them wanted to savor what it felt like, or maybe they just wanted to enjoy the night before they'd have to face the reality of their situations. Either way it was none of her business. She pulled her buster sword from her back, the pristine sapphire blade glinting in the light as she set it down across her lap so she could take a seat on a bench which seemed empty. Alessia let out a small content sigh, choosing to simply observe some of the others as well as the scenery. Though it seemed her content silence was about to be challenged, as a young boy spoke to her. She watched him for a moment, wondering what he wanted or hoped to gain by speaking with her. Maybe he didn't know what she was, or perhaps didn't care. Either way, she wasn't about to send him away when he offered some conversation to accompany the calm night. "She earned it" she replied simply, "And maybe I have a softer side for children" she admitted, her tone soft and smooth, though edged with an air of intellectual maturity. She thought about his question, realizing he he had watched her and had now sought her out specifically from the crowd earlier. "As for your offer, I'm not sure that you're fully aware of what you'd be getting yourself into. After all, I am an Imperial Knight and our survival chances aren't good" she replied, feeling it was only fair that he was given fair warning.
