Eris Kiyoko
"Maybe that's exactly what she wants us to think. I have no intention of harming her, but I can't simply blindly put trust in someone I have just met. Especially when they previously worked alongside our enemy. I suggest you do the same."
Eris hesitated. She was slightly shocked and a little aggravated at the air nomadās hostility. She never expected someone who seemed so at peace to be soā¦harsh. She brushed her hair back out of her face and took a moment to collect herself.
"Like I said before; do what you want, I don't care. I can't force you to trust me after all that I've done, but whether or not you trust me doesn't change the fact that I'm here. Besides, I would be lying if I said that I trust all of you as well." Xue said then turned and ignored them. It was for the best.
āI am Kind of disappointedā¦.ā She murmured.
Eris studied the air nomad for a moment. She summoned her fire; it danced along her fingertips for a moment then burned a symbol into the wood.
āKeirin do you know what this means?ā She asked with a kind smile.
āItās the symbol of an all-female crime syndicate in the fire nation called the Red Butterfliesā¦Beautiful and deadly, they rule the underground of the fire nation.ā She paused, gathering her thoughts.
āBelieve it or not I was raised by Earthbendersā¦up until age thirteen I thought I myself was an earthbenderā¦.until I burned down half my village. Needless to say I was no longer welcome there. Not long after I found myself in the fire nation starving, alone, scaredā¦I was taken in by the Red Butterflies. They trained me in the ways of Firebending, They were my family for a long timeā¦ā She said. She took a deep breath and let it out.
āYou never know what youāll do to not lose the people you love until your loyalty is tested. For them I did some things that I will never be able to make up forā¦ā Eris said quietly as memories flooded back to her. She shook her head and brought herself back to the present.
āI am not proud of myself or the things Iāve done. I have seen the darkest depths of the human soul and I have seen true human kindnessā¦You may think me naiveā¦but I apologize I am not willing to spend my entire life looking at people as if there is only evil in themā¦ā Eris said as she stood slowly.
āIt was a pleasure talking to you Keirinā¦ā She said quietly before she stood.
She giggled as she watched Asad fall and offer a drink to all of them, though she declined and headed to the far side of the deck.
