Deryn's emotions couldn't hold back, her body shaking lightly as she sobbed, her past memories coming back as if to haunt her like spirit. The falcon couldn't...didn't want to remember any of them...a certain few she struggled to keep them down and in the back of her mind. She also hated what had become of her old hometown...and having now heard of the efforts to rebuild many of the buildings there.

And all because of the White Fang's activities...

"I've never felt the same after that, Amet," she quietly said to him, "It's just...I felt something die in me that day. I was all youthful optimism and idealism before that happened. After that...I felt those vanish."

Deryn then looked back at him, her tear streaked face smiling as she said, "But with you...I feel like I can be hopeful once again."
