It were two of them, a pair of youths, maybe a few years younger than Vyra was, but having nowhere near the amount of lived experience that Vyra had by that point. She had lived a lifetime’s worth of anguish. These two had simply just wanted to satisfy some dumb urge that they had. Whatever the reason, it wasn’t something that worried her, nor was it something that terribly worried her. She didn’t believe them to be terrible person. How could she have when she once walked the very same road as them? But could she have turned a blind eye to what they were trying to do? There had been a time when she could have done that, but not now. Her actions as much reflected that of Alisa now, and to bring disrespect to either her or Blue Pegasus, after everything that she had endured, it was something that she could not bring herself to do. And as she looked to the kids, walking quietly enough such that they would not have noticed her admist their inspection of goods that they sought to steal, she wondered what was going through their heads, what was motivating them. Survival once motivated her, but now it as much to ease the burden that she had put on Alisa. What they had been motivated by, that would be a secret, but hopefully it was one that was worth it. But it would not be today. With a sudden shove, both of the kids ended up in the water, their cries of surprise and shock filling through the area as Vyra walked away, not bothering to touch the goods that the youths had been looking at. There was no need for something like that. Not anymore.
