Subject: ~A slight change of heart~

~Ain sighed and looked blankly at the heap of sand at her feet. Her dark grey eyes held a tamed thunderstorm, grown weary over the years of being bottled up inside her. But now wasn't the time to release it. Not yet. Not until she Impressed. She had to make a good impression on the large hulk of gold standing gaurd over the rest of the eggs. But...if all she had heard about Impressions were true, then the hatchlings would know her heart right after they hatched. The very thought struck fear into her ice-glazed heart, chilling it even further than she had imagined. Someone -something- would knew her very personally, and the thought scared her. She took a step back, eyes wide in cold fear. Was she really right for this? Shouldn't she go back home? But, what was home? Home wasa little shack in the middle of nowhere that held a small family that reared children to be cold-hearted brutes. Ain had managed to escape without the brute part, but she was the most cold-hearted of them all. Her sister had become the brute, but her will was as weak as water trying to hold a boulder.
Ain breathed out slowly, regaining her calm outward mask. No, she couldn't let the thought scare her. She had nearly risked running out in the most undignified way. And since she would be here a while, she might as well get to know someone. And that someone was in the Sands with her. She turned to Aaron and gathered her courage enough to take the first step towards him. Once the first obsticle was through, the rest of the way was easy. When she reached Aaron, she moved beside him, staring out over the eggs.~

"Look, Aaron. I'm sorry if I was...distant before. It's just that this place if different than any other place I've been and it's unnerving. It makes me wonder how you can appear so calm in the face of fear, if you even fear this experience."

~She sighed and looked over at him, mousey brown hair falling over part of her face. she brushed it away quickly~

"I just wanted to see if you would be my friend."

~The word edged off her toungue, the only dischordent thing in her small speech. The word was unfamiliar to her as she had been raised by a harsh family.~
