"We should rest for now."
Ray saw that Adaline was slowing down, the usual energy that she had depleting with each step she took.
'Looks like what happened all day must have tired her down. Best to stop so she can take in the situation with pace. However, the other one....'
Ray glanced to the other child beside Adaline. The girl took air through the nostrils and exhaled through the mouth, her eyes closed as if meditating and calming her nerves. She did this a few times and when she felt she has done enough she opened her eyes and kept a steady gaze when she looked around with a sense of alertness.
'Her highness Sakura... she is frighteningly calm for a child who was thrusted into such a situation. Her gaze is steady and alert, she is taking a keen attention to the surrounding, just like a trained guard would. She didn't once cry or showed her fear. Not even the pain of being burned slow made her cry out. I have never met a child like her.'
