Luna sighed and followed after the two. She reached for her hood realizing it had fallen down. She stayed out of sight and hearing range though.

(Uh… what's happened in the last two pages?)
"Esmea," Uriah's voice was soft, but she ignored him. "Esmea!" It was only now that she turned around and looked at him. "What is wrong? Obviously you've been through some stuff. But that doesn't mean other people haven't. So don't feel like your the only one who's been through stuff. Think about the other kids, do you think they've had a perfect life in that guild and you're the only one who's had a hard life?" Esmea walked over to him and looked him dead in the eye. "Innever said such a thing so don't put words in my mouth." Then whipped around and continued walking. Uriah thought that would work, but then realized he was working with a really difficult kid.
Luna walked up to him. She placed a hand on his shoulder as she looked at Esmea, "Y-you're not going to get through to her like that. Sh-she has a one track mind and already labeled us as 'bad' people."
"I can tell she'd be a good kid, if only we can knock down that wall." Or thousands of walls. This kid was a brat and he knew that, but there was no way he was going to give up. "There has to be a way Luna, someone has to break through the wall, even if it's not me."
"I want that more than anything," Cyrus agreed, "but things look tough… I'm not sure if we'll be able to deal with another thing on our plate with so much to worry about already."
Luna sighed and tugged at her hood, "B-but who could? E-everyone that's tried has ended up on the other side of her anger."
"So what, just give up on her?" Uriah stood back up and looked over at Cyrus. He may be right, but Uriah was also stubborn and he wasn't going to just give up. "She deserves just as much as a life as the others, she just may have a bit more problems and maybe she can't control it." His eyes lit up. "We haven't considered she may actually have a legitimate mental illness." It could explain some of the things she does.
"She could… and that's what bothers me. We aren't experts on mental illness, Uriah. We can sure as hell try to help her, but-" his voice broke off, "But… I don't know. I've had my own experience with mental illness. Not of the same nature, but still… It's rough. It doesn't just magically go away. And even if it is the case, Esmea needs to be willing to realize that something is off, and willing to accept help."
"I know that, I know. I'm just saying we can't exactly blame her. She could have PTSD or something along those lines. What I'm saying is yes, it will be harder, but we can't give up on her. Let's go see Eira and see if maybe she knows something like this." He would go around to everyone and see if anyone could help.
Cyrus laughed a little bit. "You sure are determined, Uriah… I respect that. I'll try to help in any way I can, but… but if it doesn't turn out well, I don't want you blaming yourself."
"I won't." He said that but knowing him he will and just keep silent about it. "If I'm being honest she has all the has the symptoms of a sociopath, which is a bit scary. I just have to find a way to see it for herself." Uriah walked down a long hall to find Eira. "Where exactly does Eira usually hang out?"
Uriah being on his own didn't sit well with Luna. She followed after him after some thought, "I-I don't know. B-but the roof is normally a safe bet?"
"I'm going to go check on the kids," Cyrus called, "Let me know if you need me or find out anything."
He started towards the room where the children were staying.
Katya was back on her bed. She was tired with everyone and just wanted to be alone.
Cyrus opened the door and peered in.
"Anyone need anything?" he asked softly.
Vida's eyes grew wide when she saw him; she was thinking about her and Kat's plan, and it was becoming a little unsettling.
Katya looked up to Cyrus, she was completely calm. She shook her head, speaking felt like way to much work to actually talk.
"Okay. Don't be afraid to call me up if you do."
He started to leave when Vida came up and gave him a hug.
"O-oh… Hey there."
He ruffled her blonde hair.
"Did you want to come with me, or would you rather rest some more?"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm seeing if any work needs to be done. I might train too, and you can watch me, or I can teach you a little. Your choice."
Vida smiled and nodded. "Okay!"
Cyrus looked back into the room. "Anyone else?"
Katya stood up and walked over to Vida. She liked Vida, and didn't want to be alone at the moment. She stayed silent the entire time.
Cyrus held out his hands for whoever wanted to to hold. Vida grabbed on right away and offered her hand to Katya, smiling brightly.
Katya sighed as she grabbed Vida's hand. Her face was tinged red with embarrassment. She couldn't believe she was actually doing this.
Vida giggled and smiled so big that her eyes squinted almost closed.
"Let's go!" she said.
Cyrus looked at the two and smiled as well. At least Vi was feeling better, and Kat was willing to come along, even if she wasn't really talking.
"Alright then," Cyrus replied, "I'll show you around a little bit, maybe introduce you to a few people."
Katya nodded and gave a small smile to Vida. She seemed so happy at the moment.
Cyrus first passed by the mess hall. A few of his students were gathered together for a meal, and he introduced them to the two kids.
Katya tried to hide behind either Vida or Cyrus. It was difficult because she was so tall and gangly, why was she born like this?
Cyrus held a short conversation with one of the students for a minute, and they weren't very focused on either of the children. Once he was done, he started to lead them away.
"Anything to eat or drink before we get going?"
Katya shook her head again. She was happy they hadn't cared about them.
Cyrus nodded and carried on. He talked to one of the guys who did patrols when they got near the main entrance and asked how security was, making sure they were patrolling more, and then he continued, deciding maybe now would be an okay time to train.
Katya didn't understand why this man did so much walking? But at least she could figure out his schedule now, or his habits at least.
Cyrus led them into the training room and invited them to sit down and watch if they wanted.
"Well… or you could try messing around with some of our training blades. They're made of wood, so no one should get hurt."
