"There weren't only children in there." She said quietly, regretting the words as they came out of her mouth. The only adults she'd seen were the ones chasing them down with whips. She took a deep breath dismissing the thought.
“Yeah. That’s probably it.” Not fully knowing why, she held the little telescope close as she stood up. “We should probably go back and look for Kipp and Seina.”
"Seina's in the cave already, she was with. But Fred, Noah, Emma, and Kipp are still missing." She put Kipp's name last. She didn't understand why everyone seemed so concerned about him. As far as she was concerned Kipp was a selfish person, who was only helping the rest of them to better his own chances of escape.
Chion followed Ashira, trying to come up with something to say to make her feel better. She didn't like it when people got quiet, she'd rather just talk it out until what ever the problem was had gotten fixed. There probably wasn't much that could be said to fix this, but she didn't want to be walking in uncomfortable silence.
She stopped at this question, surprised. Slowly, she began to talk. “They were... normal, I guess. My mom was kind and was always pretty open. My dad wasn’t really around much, but he wasn’t bad.”
"What do you think they were doing here, with a telescope?" She asked, eyeing the silvery tube as she stepped around Ashira.
“My dad liked astronomy. I remember one night when he somehow found Earth with it and showed it to me. I think I was about seven. That’s when my parents started to talk about it constantly.”
Chion sighed, the conversation wasn't going the way she wanted it to. She was hoping her parents had never shown any interest in the other planet. That would have made it too easy to disprove though.
