[ Rhea's gaze is soft on the boy when he speaks to Peter, something reminiscent in her eyes as they travel back and forth between her new companion and the child they've saved.

He won't have to pay for her if he needs to save up!
But as they walk, she makes another gesture towards where they came, a frown on her face. ]
