Liwei slows as Ambrose enters the room. He gives a small look of sadness at the obvious distress. He bends down to meet the boy's eyes. "I know you want to help your friend." He looks back at Mona, who he assumed had followed them. "We do, too. But we can't just rush head-on into danger. That's going to hurt more people than it helps."

Liwei raised his hands in an admission of defeat. He propped himself up on his heels as he rapidly considered what kind of plan would be viable at this point. Finally, he sighed. "Ok. We won't leave her, but we have to come up with a plan before we run in there."

Destin sighs. "I like you...a lot." He whispers. "And...I dunno...you're nice and sweet...and I really wish we were in the same group because I'd ask you out in a heartbeat." He hesitantly crawls into her lap, curling up. "I don't want to ruin things between us." He whispers sadly. "I'm sorry I may have ruined this for us."

Aya pulled him in closer to her, and lets out a sigh. "You didn't ruin anything Destin. I'd love to go out with you... I know we're both just kids but I feel something special with you too. I don't want to leave you." She feels warmed by his fluffy body in the coldness of the day. "Why do we have to be in groups like this? I don't like the Broms... but I'd rather be with they be part of the Rabins. That way I could be with you."

Aya's heart began to beat quickly at the thought of Destin staying with the Rabins. "I... I think she'd let you, right? You guys are old friends and all. The only problem she has with you right now is that you're a Brom... And if you weren't..." Wait, isn't this selfish of me? Aya stops talking, thinking that Destin must have similar feelings for the Broms as she did the Rabins. Even though she personally had no feelings of love for the camp on the other side of the river, wouldn't leaving them be hard for them? Not to mention, who would ensure that the Broms stayed well throughout the winter? If someone died, wouldn't it be her fault? "... But... Is that really a good idea?"

Aya takes one of his paws into her hands and rubs it with her thumb while thinking. "Maybe someone will show up who can take the role for you? Isn't there any Brom who knows something about herbs?" She thinks about leaving the Rabins, just for a moment. Her heart hurts at the thought of it, not to mention they'd run into the same problem either way.

"How about... We talk to her together?" Aya visibly winces at the idea that spills out of her mouth. Talking to a Brom sounded like suicide. What would Sacha say to her? Either way, if this person was going to be a healer than she needed to have the type of personality which didn't lead her to jump to a fight at every second. She stayed quiet and waited for Destin to give his thoughts on the idea.

Aya clasps him in her arms and stands up. "We'll go the river together, okay?" She didn't wait for answer, but just started walking. She was young and had all the time in the world to spend with Destin, but she felt as though she couldn't wait another moment to be with him. She blushed as she happily thought about kissing him afterwards. Then she'd get to tell everyone in the Rabins about them... And she'd write to her grandmother and parents and they'd be so happy... Her head filled with fantasies as they went.

Aya drew herself back to reality when they reached the rushing waters of the river. The water looked freezing, and her heart skipped a beat as she remembered finding Destin's body on the bank in the arms of Kianna. She sighs for a moment as she considers the memory. Hadn't she been a bit harsh to Kianna? She'd have to apologise to the Rabin at some point. It just seemed that recently she'd been distracted with the other Brom guest while Aya had her hands full with Destin. She quietly promised herself that however much she loved - she stopped herself there, feeling that maybe she should use that word quite yet - however much she came to love Destin, she wouldn't neglect her other campmates. "This is as far as I can go Destin." Aya tells him. "No need for a war to be started by me going over there now, you know?"
