Back in the Living room
"Iria, please just look at me, I'm not a monster, I just wanna talk to you" Blake said
He has been doing so for the past 10 minutes. Apparently, Iria was still shaken by what happened earlier today, Blake has been trying to make her open up to him but, she won't even look at him.
"OK, let's do this, we'll use letters, A is for YES and B is for NO, okay?" As he said this he placed two blocks with the letters A and B on them on the table separating them. For the answer to the question he asked, she placed a finger on A.
"Okay good, first question, did you know those men?" She placed her finger on A
"Are they relatives?" A
"Are you guys the only children?" A
"Where are your parents?" B meaning their dead
"Oh, I'm sorry, um can you continue or not?" B
"Okay, bye, see you later, maybe"
Meanwhile, at the other side of the living room
"What do you want?" Aria asked
"Huh?" Brent also asked
"You saved us, brought us to your house, fed us, we're still here, you didn't ask us to leave and mind you, we don't even know each other, so why are you doing this?" Aria asked again
"First of all, a 'thank you' would be nice, and we didn't save you, Viro did, we let you stay here from the goodness of our hearts and besides, do you even have anywhere to go?" When Brent asked that question she became quiet
"Good, now I'm older, so I'll do the questioning and you do the answering" Brent said
"Who told you you're older?" Aria asked
"Obviously I'm older, you look like you're 10 or maybe 11" Brent said this full of confidence
"We're 12 years old, same as you guys"
"I'm sorry what?"
"I said we're 12"
"Wow, I wasn't expecting that, anyways, back to the questions, What's your full name?"
"Why do you want to know"
"Just answer the question"
"Aria Campbell"
"Where are your parents?"
"Dead"
"I'm sorry to hear that, who are those men?"
"The first one was our uncle and the second was his friend"
"Wow, that's messed up, are you gifted?"
"Yes, I'm a fire user, she's an ice user"
"Would like to be adopted and live here for the rest of your life?"
She hesitated for a second and looked at her sister who was curled up on the chair
"Yes, please"
"Wonderful, I'll get back to you" Brent said that and went back to their room where Blake was waiting.
"How did yours go?" Blake asked the moment Brent shut the door
"Good, yours?"
"Bad, she didn't even talk"
"No problem, Aria said it all, what do you think about having sisters?"
"We're adoption them? Nice, yes let's do that"
"Let's go tell mom, You're telling her"
"Sure"
On the way to tell her about the adoption, they met Viro
"Hey, what are you guys up to?"
"Hey Viro, where were you, you missed dinner" Blake said putting an arm around his shoulder
"I told you to come wake me up" Viro said
"Oh, yeah sorry I forgot" Blake said slowly removing his arm
"So what are you doing?" Viro asked
"We're adopting the girls" Brent said
"... Was this Blake's idea?"
"No, it was Brent's idea"
"Oh, okay, let's go tell mom" Viro said
They moved to their mom's room and knocked on the door twice
"Come in"
They heard from inside
"Mom, can we ask a favor?" Blake said
"Sure, what is it?"
"Can you adopt the girls?"
"...was this your idea?"
"No, it was Brent's idea, why is everyone thinking that?"
"Okay, sure, we'll adopt them tomorrow and besides I've always wanted girls" as she was saying that, she picked up her bag and went to the door"girls, we're going shopping"
