Awaken.

"Amaris." A tone mummered with seek of attention made clear. Pronounced with only the slightest hint of timid layer, without demand for what it seeks for by voicing out among the open air. Trying to reach out. To have it go further, until like a gentle grasping hand to the shoulder, would meet a turn of a gaze. Lending of a ear. Fully only set upon whatever was needed to be said. But, to no luck. The father only found the silence between him and his daughter grow ever more heavier, weighing down with a pressure unlike any he had ever witnessed between them before, like a force of gravity that would amount beyond the earth's. He could feel all of it's force.

He came to sigh, after receiving nothing more than what he did, frowning. Ah, the dear girl; Amaris. She would never mean to harm anyone she loves in any sort of way, or manor, no one knows this more than he. Nonetheless, emotions are powerful. Especially when they feel tampered with beyond than what could be handled, like a storm, even if silent for the time. She had thunder, rain, and ash fall running through her heart from emotions of hurt, and by it he could understand and dare not raise an argument. But, at least give explanation as he has already before, even if nothing became easier.

His eyes came to glance at the daughter once more, as she looked out the car window, peering out. Amaris didn't find it in herself to spare a glance in turn, even if from the corner of her eye and upon the glass, she could she her father do just that, as he continued to drive down the road. She couldn't bare it. She couldn't bare to stare back into those eyes of the one person of family she cared so much for, knowing what is to happen once they make it to their destination among this drive; a new home. HER new home. Only hers alone...

Her fingers curled gently, the reminder setting a nervousness in her that almost seemed to tug insider her physically, as they passed a sign. EXIT DOMINO AIRPORT. Yet another sign that almost seemed to whisper that there was a pass beyond no return. And from the bottom of her father's eyes, he took notice; those curling fingers... what kind of father would he be if he didn't feel the same feeling as she just did? It may of not been as strong, but he could feel the twinge inside, twisting itself. Knowing his daughter was upset; and there was not much he could do about it but give more words. "Amaris... please, I-" "I'm not mad at you, papa." it came from her, so suddenly, with the addition of emotion being forcefully contained. By her finally coming to reply to him, with words he wanted to hear ever since the plane ride, and now here in the driving car, his eyes came to widen, and slight relief came over, even if he knew this doesn't make things any easier.

"Oh... well. That's good. Truly. You don't know how much it means to hear that. You haven't really acted like this... until now." He responded, more contained than her, not that he didn't have his own amount of emotions inside. Months of bottling it up, finally showing. She however, had to continue a force upon herself; a containment. "I know, I know, I'm sorry... I just... I don't really like this." That much more she could explain, as obvious as it was spoken by her actions of silence. Yet, these words to him, were so much better than the silence. "Yeah. Same here, dear, believe me. But, this move, this opportunity for you to come here and finish your schooling is all for the better. You will have so much more opportunity than you would back at home." He explains words spoken between them more than once. 

Amaris's brows came to furrow slightly, the tug pulling a bit harder, but not as much as it has before when they had this conversation. "I would of made do at home. You always say how I am a smart girl after all. I could go places there if I just tried." A defense that couldn't fully be justified, and she knew that. But again. This discussion was already made a few times already, and and what she said wasn't the full truth. She knew that, and it made nothing easier. "It's not that easy." A grim reminder by her father was made. "But I did mean what I said, every word. You are smart, and so talented. But, back at home, it would be wasted because I can't afford to get you anywhere that could open the doors that you can expand such qualities in life. With this program in Domino City, where you can attend high school here all the way up to senior year, can." "I know. It's just-" and she trailed off for a moment, words coming to bottle up in her throat. She forced them down with a swallow. If only she could do such with rapid emotion. They had to make full peace with this, now that it was all finally coming down.

"I agreed to do this. For the both of us. But still, it's just... all my life, rather if it be friends or family I was taught that loved ones are the most important thing. That they should always stay by each other's sides, support each other. And... papa... we're all we have left." That was a boundary that was never touched among their talks until now. Last few words came to form into a mumble as eyes trailed down to look at the car door with now no longer a tug, but a harsh pull, of all the more reminder of such a fact. They are the only two that were family. A mother, passed away for only a matter of a couple of years, had left only them to continue on together, and they had. So well. Why, they were always close, Amaris and her father. From the day she was born, and even until now. That's what made things harder. It was by that weight, silence fell between them once more.

Yet among it, she changed at least a bit, finally coming to turn her head forward slowly, and look outward, eyes heavy with justified sadness. As her father drove, he noticed, though felt all the same as she was now, with the truth being given be her. Amaris isn't weak. Caring for loved ones is never to be considered a weakness. Wanting to stay with friends back at home, and her father, isn't a weak thing. Nor ridiculous. She has a strong will in her, that couldn't be broken. Knowledgeable and wise, beyond her years. A good heart. And a fighting spirit that would defend, to matter the cost. But this had to be done, for her sake. Her mother would even agree.
