"Because you're the only one I trust to do it." She admitted after a long moment of silence. It felt bad to admit, wrong, but it was also the truth and maybe she needed to show him that. She wasn't sure if it would make things better or worse-- but it was how she felt. "Grumac and Orek mean well, but they couldn't care for a little girl, not one like Zelly, not with what she needs. Victor would probably just leave her back at home." She swallowed hard, she hated speaking ill of anyone... but these were simply truths as she saw them.

"Who knows where the others are-- they've left us." And part of her is a bit bitter, one was meant to protect Zelly in particular, and abandoning that task made her stomach turn. It didn't matter now, though, this was all they were.

"I'm asking you because you're the only one who could care for her like she deserves, the only one I trust to do what's right for her."
