Cara had kept the news of her sister to herself, knowing better than to get her hopes up. That was short lived however. Upon entering a larger and wealthier town, the news reached the others ears. Cara met Kahlan, Richard, and Zedd's gazes with her usual shrug. At the town hall the group reviewed the footage of her sister in the previous Hunger Games.
Cara remembered watching it at the Mordsith temple with her sisters. She had received numerous beatings from her sisters for Johanna's perceived weakness, which made her sister's victory all that much more satisfying.
She saw Richard and Zedd cast her questioning glances as they watched Johanna scream in terror. It was Kahlan's face that drew her interest though. She seemed to see something, sense something. Kahlan was the only one not surprised when the tables were turned and Johanna unleashed vicious attacks upon her enemies. Richard drew in a sharp breath and turned away. "Well, she definitely is your sister!" joked Richard, earning a glare from Kahlan and a raised eyebrow from Cara. "I- I just meant you are both very skilled and cunning" he hastily amended.
Later in their room at the inn, Kahlan surprised Cara by embracing her in a hug. The two of them had become closer over their quest and possibly towards something more. "You had already been taken to become a Mordsith hadn't you?" mumbled Kahlan into Cara's neck. "I can't imagine having my sister taken to the Games much less enduring my own suffering at the same time." Cara felt a pain that she hadn't felt in since the last time her sister was in the Games well up in her chest. Kahlan tightened her hold as Cara started to try and get free. "I promise to do everything I can to get you to see your sister again." As soon as the promise was whispered into her ear, Cara gave in and returned the embrace.
