Of course, Valeria did notice the loud roaring and her eyes scanned upwards to see the jetstream of what was likely a missle flying from south-west. Of course like most citizen's of Tiānshì City she knew about Taiyou having armaments near the area. Nonetheless it did not comfort her. After all the Chinese Government were meant to have protect the citizen's but what she saw on the TV during that day, was horrifying... Thus she had a strong mistrust of allies who flaunt their defensive capabilities. Though she need not worry the missle she had saw though loud was aimed elsewhere and thus her attention returned to the girl.

Now was a good time as she became aware of her speaking. And thus Valeria listened being sure to appear attentive despite zoning out earlier, "Where you born matters little child in the scheme of things. You are here now, as am I. I never imagined I would return to a city, but here I am. Thus we both must make the best of our situation, correct?" she asked before continuing, "Hate is a weakness don't succumb to that darkness, instead move on. You may have hated the world, but you are being given a chance to finally act and show they were wrong to treat you as such."

Gently she took the girl's hand if she would allow before asking, "What is your name child? I am Valeria Tseng and I was born in turmoil and strife. I will never likely bear children and you will never likely return to where you were born. I see a unique chance, and chance for you to overcome the fear. I adopt you as my daughter and teach you in the ways of the blade as well as discipline and respect. I will help you beat back the darkness and even show you secrets I usually don't utter..." pausing she stared with that tender grin, "I was for a long time a hermit, but after coming here... and being around people I realized how much I missed them... I even realized I was lonely and was scared of my skill being forever lost... What say you? Will you be my daughter and in return I'll go to your orphanage and give them the amount required."
