RIKA
Rika met Gar's eyes, afraid of what he'd hear in that statement. She saw the flicker in him. The question. And she almost reached for his hand. Because no, when she looked at him she didn't see cattle. She didn't see animals. She didn't see a resource. She saw a person. A person who loved his people.
A people she admired and wished she could be a part of.
Holding his gaze for a moment longer, praying he saw the sincerity in her, she turned to face the others, the older Anima who all looked on her with varying degrees of suspicion and fear.
