"I wish I could calm down but alas, this is the life I live." Kasai sighed and rested her hand on Avani's arm, gently massaging as she thought. It shouldn't be too hard for Avani to get back in the ranks with the group, especially if they had such a history together. The last thing Kasai wanted to do though was jeopardize her safety. It wasn't a question of if she could handle herself, it was just a situation that Kasai preferred be entirely avoided. 

"Real motivation, huh? I'll mark that down as a win in my book." Looking down at Avani, Kasai frowned. "Hey, don't worry. We can get this all figured out. It's never too late." Kasai smirked, "Who knows, if you do pretty well hiding your cover with the gang then you might even be good enough to become a spy." Kasai laughed. Trying to lighten the mood around the conversation seemed to help ease the bitterness of it. 

Kasai's hand continued to lightly brush back and forth, her mind wandering a bit with a few moments of silence. What she really wanted was to just take Avani and get her away from all the bad things in life. Kasai believed that she had good intentions underneath the rebel facade. She only hoped that she could steer her down a better path after all of this was over with. 

"Have you thought about what you'll do after all of this is done? I know it all happened so fast, but..." She stopped and pursed her lips together, not wanting to seem pushy. It was difficult for her to find her words, but she gave up on trying to sugar-coat anything she was going to say and instead went for honesty. "I just think that under all that 'bad-girl' and 'criminal' crap you try to show off is a good heart with good intentions. You don't have to run away from all of this when it's over."

Kasai didn't know if Avani was still thinking about leaving Republic City after she got her end of the deal with the police department. She couldn't blame her, it would be easier to get away and start over somewhere else. Especially with the amount the PD was willing to pay for the information, it would be enough to buy a new life. Granted, not a lavish one. 

"Now look at me, I've gone all mushy and annoying." She laughed and then sighed.
