Marina listened carefully.
She was quite enchanted by the idea of him following his dream, although she had to confess herself very shocked at the behaviour of the knights. From a young age Aquarians were taught never to judge anyone by their race, their past or their appearance, only by their heart. However it seemed clear now that not all races believed in that concept. But Zet's desire to be a knight was a noble one, he wished to help people and do good. Marina did not believe this longing should be denied just because of his family. And when he spoke of wanting to help them end the war, she couldn't help feel sorry. Why had it taken such a terrible situation for Zet to get what he desired? When this war was over she was going to do all she could to help him get his dream.
She smiled warmly at him.
"You are not selfish in the slightest. I can see that all your motives are truly pure and if nothing else, I know that my people would commend you as a hero for your actions." She said gently, watching him intently.
But before she could think of something else, she realised that they were back at the camp. She would just have to remember to continue this discussion with him later, now that things were going so well.
"Raiyla, we've found what we can but the area is pretty sparse for this particular species." She said, walking over to the Sorian and handing the roots over. When she had her back to the rest of the group she mouthed 'thank you' so that only Raiyla would see. Even though she was sure the Sorian had set her and Zet up so they could talk, it had helped a great deal.
