Zari was chuckling at the story. It sounded something like she could do as well. "You should tell that story to every Leo after I'm crowned." she joked smiling starting be more of her old self. His story was giving even more faith to her. A good fighter wasn't determined by gender. The fighting spirit you had inside you was most important. "You know, I'm glad you believe in me. You remind me of my father. He taught me about ruling and fighting just as much as to Griffen. He believed in me too" she said her voice shattering as she was fighting against her tears. "Not now, I have time to cry later", she told herself in her mind.
As Eugene opened his bag, Zari sat up surprised. "A gift?" She wasn't expecting him to bring anything. She did as he asked and closed her eyes holding out her hands. She had no idea what he was going to give to her.
