The comfort from Aolani had almost brought tears to her eyes. For once it wasn't from someone she felt had to love her cause of circumstances. This person had just met her and accepted her even though she barely knew her. Aolani could've shun her or even picked at her, but she seemed to actually care and accept the young hybrid. For once Naiome felt a spark of hope for what she was. This wasn't love or caring due to blood, but it felt sincere in a new way she had not yet known. It was of understanding and acceptance.
And it felt good... Better than anything she had experienced in a long time. It was like saving Liz all over again. This wasn't something she felt was forced but just pure and that just felt good.
Naiome took a step back when Aolani shifted afraid she wouldn't have enough room and her eyes blinked a bit taken aback. She had known the prietress was a hybrid, and she knew there were other types of dragons besides westerns, but never had she seen one. The dragon form was far more impressive than her own. She had so many wings! The girl had no idea if that meant she could fly faster or what. This was something to behold. "Aolani how can you be so confident," she asked after a moment. "All my life, it has been strange. I know my father loves me, but so many others talk as if hybrids are shameful and to be looked down upon. I know they'd never say it to me because of father being near, but how can you hold your head up so high?"
That is when the real tears started. Aolani was the kind of mentor Nai had always wanted... Someone confident in what they are, but not because of being pure, but proud of a dual lineage. "And you're so...pretty..."
