Michelle finished feeding the guards and was off with Ruth a bit away from everyone else as she looked at the night starry sky, the stars gleam like jewels. Seeing them was beautiful but also bitter sweet. Ruth looked up towards his mother as he felt her mood shift once again as he rub his head at the tip if her right hand grabbing her attention as they lock eyes for a bit. *Are you regretting on helping Senku reach this far?* he asked her, Michelle didn't say anything till she looked up to see Senku's face with a very happy smile.

That smile alone also maid her faintly smile as well but only a bit. *Honestly Ruth I'm not… not even a little bit.* he would hum lightly looking at Senku and the others till his focus was back on Michelle when she scratched behind his left ear. *I'm happy on helping him, same way he will help me when it came to what I love doing… still it's a mix feeling. Sure technology is good and useful even the alchemist institute we went too, also used technology… even so the world is healed now but the more we develop the world would die again.*

Ruth knew what she meant seeing humans where the reason the earth was dying a long time ago and how Michelle cried so much seeing many things where lost and not just the dragon’s who abandon the skies do to humanity. Torn between duty, the world, and humanity and more importantly the one she promised to guard. All this was too much for her to handle alone yet even with her and her sisters help it was never enough and more when it came to humanities greed. *But where starting from zero… maybe we could change things? Didn't you want where humans and magic users can live in peace.*

Laughing lightly she nod and hug Ruth closer to give him a kiss on the nose *It's true even so it's always worth a try thank you Ruth for reminding me.* moments later everyone was going inside Chrome's shed as Senku called out for her. He seemed almost serious so she would let go of Ruth and head towards the others but would stop before getting on the ladder looking at Gen. Looking at him he was lost in thought thinking he be safe still being close to them then would climb up, seeing the others sitting down around a small flame.

“So then… why are we all here for?” she asked as Senku instruct her to sit by his side

“So then… why are we all here for?” she asked as Senku instruct her to sit by his side. She didn't mind so she came to sit by him while Ruth also came to lay on her lap while being petted by his mother. “Where here to talk about Gen. now that he's here we need to know what to do with him.” “What to do with him…oh?” Michelle narrowed her eyes at Chrome making him nervous, Senku only grab her right shoulder to get her attention as he lightly nod. “What he means is we need to win him over to be by our side… I mean it be better seeing it be bad being killed again by Tsukasa.”

Humming in understanding she would nod but before she would say anything Suika was shock to hear about our death as Chrome and Kohaku explain to her. It was somewhat funny and also not at the same time seeing both Michelle and Senku are still alive and she was still freaking out as if they where still dead. “Suika where still alive.” Michelle explain for the second time as she laughed nervously. “But wait…Gen saved us from magma… so he's a good guy?” she asked.
