Derria stared at Ning for a while, taking in every word that he said. Her eyes slowly narrowed as she realized that maybe Ning truly understood what he was talking about.
It was not the words about Sparklessness or the claims that he could cure it that moved her heart. It was his words about the sweet connection that she did not want to lose.
No one understood what that sweetness felt like unless they were on the verge of losing it. Ning understood that. How? She couldn't figure it out, but she could see that he wasn't being completely truthless.
He knew what he was talking about, and that persuaded her enough to take the chance. There was a chance here that he could fail and in doing so leave her Sparkless.
But on the tiniest chance that he was right and he could heal Sparkless, then that would revolutionize Sparks and the possibilities surrounding it as a whole.
