James just nodded to the Z guy and turned to Hope, his only real friend and the only creature he really trusted, "Looks like we might be safe here Hope. You hungry girl?" James reached into his bag and pulled out some old bread and split it in half before scraping the mold off, "Still good huh girl?" Hope wagged her tail wildly and whined a little for the bread, "here have some you spoiled thing." James let out a little laugh and handed Hope the bread who accepted it with joy. James's eyes caught a group of kids consoling each other, James didn't quite understand this notion...why didn't the girl just swallow it and keep moving? Why did the others go to her aid right away? why did they trust each other so easily? when they started using their elements James just scoffed and spoke just loud enough for them to hear, "Elpis...bound by the jar that holds it...nothing like Lucen...free and open...and wild." James just sat down next to Hope, "Owns us huh? I wonder if he can keep a tornado contained?" Hope whined loudly, "Hey i was just kidding jeez."
