Bocahr Settlement: The Group (2)

How old was Zarya again? Was she five or six years old? Or perhaps, she was a bit older than that to the eyes of others. 

Be that as it may, Zarya continued to surprise strangers with how eloquent she was. Her words, if understood by the right person, carried more meaning than what teenagers could articulate. 

But that wasn't the only thing surprising about Zarya. 

Even now, after having suffered from the hands of bad people, she seemed to have recovered already. It was as if the incident didn't happen at all. 

Children, in general, could be easily swayed by the change in circumstances. Simple consolation, such as giving them the toys or food they wanted, would be effective in appeasing their bothered hearts. 

Zarya was similar in a way that mere promises could take away her worries. However, ever since she had arrived at Zekhyr's estate, it seemed as if she was having a hard time acting like a child.
