"She did have a sugar stash somewhere! Yay!"
Mazrin looked at the bag, instantly noticing that it wasn't the same type of sugar that Syl seemed so fond off. None the less it was certainly mall bought, so Karashi must have bought it only moments before meeting them, likely due to hearing Syl's enthusiastic rant. People could be so materialistic.
"It is brown sugar Syl," Maz stated putting emphasis on the word 'brown' so that Syl would realize the difference. "There is a concentration of water present in brown sugar to white, but as long as you have no problem digesting water then it will likely have the same effect."
Rosa stepped out of her seat and leaned against the table. She was still unsure of what Karashi was going to tell them, because she knew that she hadn't ran off to buy some store bought sugar. Rosa hoped it wouldn't be too bad, that it would be something small and easily forgivable. Rosa hated dishonesty of any nature, even keeping crucial information from her could affect her temper greatly.

Karashi frowned as Syl grabbed the sugar out of her hand. She then turned to Rosa and Maz. "What I showed Maz is what I'm going to tell you. I showed him my horrifying past, how it happened, what I went through, and how I felt. A while ago, a man tried to kidnap me, but he asked me to take off all of my clothes." She could feel the tears coming, but she fought them back for now. "He held a gun, at least I think that's what it's called, up to my head, and told me that he would kill me if I didn't." The tears welled up in her eyes, and it took all of her willpower to keep them from falling. "Next, he.........proceeded to take his........long private thing, I forget what it's called, and.......entered it into me..........I tried to fight, but he was too strong. He had............sex, I think it is called, against my will........and he......made a child in me........" She finally let the tears fall, collapsing onto a nearby chair. She felt ashamed of herself. She really didn't know how else to explain it. She looked up at the three. "I'm so sorry........." She continued to cry.

Syl was stunned, to the point where it just dropped the sugar, without even realizing it. It looked at Karashi, confused and concerned, unable to emotionally process what had just happened. The information was digested, but Syl... didn't know how to react to this... It was wierd. Syl didn't really care about human morals unless they pertained to violence. The concept of forced procreation was foreign to Syl... it thought that people reproduced because they wanted to.
It... just didn't fit with Syl's beliefs. It didn't understand. It didn't understand... It tried but... Sex was between people that loved each other... right? Syl didn't know what to think or how to react.
Syl pulled on Rosa's sleeves.
"I don't get it," it said softly, "I... don't understand... Isn't procreation supposed to be a good thing? What miss Karashi described sounds scary... She looks traumatized... Why would someone do something this bad... miss Rosa? I... don't understand... Isn't sex supposed to be good? Did he want a baby?"

Rosa was angry, it was the only emotional reaction she could conjure up to what Karashi had told them. She knew she should feel sad for Karashi, feel some kind of sorrow for her but she was unable to. The only thing she could feel, the only thing at all, was anger. Anger at how Karashi could keep something like this to herself, to not reveal it. It was dishonest and she hated that. But she also hated that a human being could be sick enough, twisted enough, to do something like this to another person. It was disgusting and wrong. Rosa didn't notice Syl pulling on her sleeve, instead her anger was getting the better of her. Her hands had become red hot and were scorching a mark in the table she was gripping.
"You should have said," Rosa said quietly, trying not to raise her voice. "You don't keep something like this to yourself."
Maz noticed Rosa's anger, realized that if he didn't do anything her temper may very well get the better of her, and that would be dangerous for everyone present. Her flames weren't natural and they would do damage to any magical being, corporal or otherwise. Maz grasped Rosa in such a way that nobody else would be able to notice him. His grasp made Rosa snap out of it and she lifted her hands from the table, allowing them to cool down as she calmed herself.
"Yes Syl, sex is supposed to be a good thing, and it is meant to be between two consenting adults." Maz said, taking it upon himself to make this as simple as possible, knowing full well that Syl would not easily grasp such a concept. "But human nature can sometimes be twisted and wrong. Some people force themselves upon others for their own sick desires and needs. This... this disgusting act that she described isn't sex Syl, it is rape."

Karashi continued to cry through all of this, and then looked up at Rosa. "I-I'm sorry........I was afraid............y-you would.........think I was some unsanitary freak.........I didn't want to lose you...........my very first friends............" She buried her head in her hands again. She felt so ashamed of herself. "I-I understand.........if y-you don't want to be near me..........."

Syl face fell as it took a couple of steps back. Oddly enough, it was only confused, and it didn't know how to feel about this, or whether it should care.
"... I... don't understand..." it whispered, "I... don't understand... I... don't... understand..."
Syl fell silent for a few long moments. Its mind was working hard to process the information, but it had a lot of difficulty, to say the least. In Syl's first culture, where it was created and raised... this... concept... of rape... It didn't exist.
"I thought s-sex was supposed to be good," it said softly, stuttering, "r-reproduction... is good... I don't understand... Isn't reproduction for making happy families? ... And h-happy children and...? I... I... I don't get it... I d-don't understand... Is this why some h-humans are so grumpy? Why... humans can be s-so twisted? Is... it because... th-this is s-so horrible, the trauma of th-the af-aftermath? I don't g-get it..."

Karashi looked at Syl, frowning. She had seen it's reaction, and she knew that she should probably leave. She stood up, looking sadly at Syl, and then Rosa and Maz. "Just say the word. I know I haven't been honest, and I'm sorry. I think I'll be leaving now." She turned to leave, her ears drooping. She knew she wasn't wanted there anymore.

"I think I'll be leaving now."
"Yeah, I think we all will." Rosa said spitefully, still disgusted over the lack of honesty she had been given. Rosa saw it as pure disrespect when someone kept important information from her, and she knew full well if Karashi didn't have some kind of weird thing for Syl then she probably would have never told them, which was the most disrespectful thing of all.
Rosa turned away from the rest and began walking away, with Maz following closely behind her. Maz understood the anger that Rosa would be feeling, the disrespect that she would feel from Karashi's decision to keep information from them. If there was one thing that everybody who knew Rosa learnt early on it was never to keep important information from her.
As they walked away Rosa turned around and smiled at Syl. Syl hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she treat it like it had?
"Hey syl," Rosa said, a small smile on her face. "You can tag along if you want, we could always go and get some more sugar."

Syl felt sorry for Karashi. All that pain... Karashi had worked up the nerve to tell them now, and all she got was more pain... Horrible. Syl didn't like seeing people in pain, so it decided on a last ditch effort to make her feel better.
"I'll see you later, miss Karashi!" yelled Syl after her, "please don't feel bad! I don't have anything against you, so please don't cry a river on this! I don't like seeing people suffer... so... so... please don't lose hope, alright? I don't like seeing people suffer..."
It hung its head as it watched her walk away.
"Hey Syl. You can tag along if you want, we could always go and get some more sugar."
Syl's head jerked up at the mention of sugar.
"Sugar?!"
It grinned widely. It was almost ear to ear, but it only serve to express Syl's eagerness. Sugar felt so much more appealing to it than Karashi's weeping. However, while Syl couldn't understand the concept of rape, it felt sorry for her, and hoped that they would meet again.
"Count me in!"
It ran to catch up with Maz and Rosa, as they headed out of the mall.
