Hushed Willows Captain Amerus

I'm playing around with it XD

     Captain dropped her gaze. There wasn't much encouraging information she could suspend. She didn't want to believe that their old home had been swarmed by the same disaster, but it was the only reality she faced. At least he's not bitter, she thought mildly. "I've been wandering for a few months now. The valley is a complete mess." She returned her gaze with his in subdued silence.
    
     "I barely escaped. Everyone split up back there - I have no idea where they went. I traveled the first two months in search of them, but..." She couldn't finish her sentence. She wanted to be strong about this, but it was too painful to think that she had failed her family. She had failed to rescue anyone other than herself. Captain sighed, clearly pushing the negative thoughts to the back of her mind. "I'm here now, though, and I want to help in any way possible. I'd do anything to compensate for my deficiency back home."
