Civilian Changelings usually protect themselves by coming together in communities. The largest communities are the Changeling Courts that aren't aligned with the Vigil. We hunters, in turn, try to help those communities out as much as we can.
Well, you're in the Philippines... if you had not become a hunter, I am pretty confident that you would have been able to continue living a normal life, and feel about as safe as you could possibly feel. We would have never met, though, if you had done that.
[And it goes without saying that Brianna might not have ever met the people she knows now.]
I guess it was. Of course, "right" and "wrong" are a matter of personal taste more than it is anything else. Still, if you're happy with where you are now...
I'm good for the moment. There is one last thing, though...
[She's tucking the flower you just gave her (hee) behind her ear, and then lifting her hand towards the empty air. A paper falls into it, which she promptly hands over.
Have a dream rendition of something Michael drew: you and him, walking through a sunlit forest. It's an excellent drawing, not something that looks like it was drawn by a child at all. It also has a note: "I hope everything is okay down there. See you soon? P.S. I have a cell phone now. Here's my number."]
I can hand the real drawing over to you when you get back to Falner.
[ At first, Brianna is surprised. She's going through the details, the two figures that represents her and Michael, the scenery. She smiles and squeals a bit. ]
Oh my goooosh, this is the cutest thing ever!! He made this? When? It's so... wow!
[ Brianna's face right now looks like the face of a kid who just got the best gift ever. ]

[Looking up at you seriously.]
Being a Hunter makes you safer than most of the other Lost, but that doesn't mean,, in any fashion, that you're untouchable.

What happens to the other Lost?

It's nice to know that we're doing good things for other Changelings. I wonder what could have happened to me had I turned down ma'am Lia's offer.

Seems like I made the right decision then, as fate would have it?

[Then everything should be good, right?]

[It'd just get you in trouble, at this rate.]
Want to talk about anything else?

Not really. [ However, she does reach out and plucks a single flower from a nearby bush, handing it to Aria with a smile. ]
What about you?

He really missed you, from the looks of it. He also got really worried when news of your engagement in South Africa came around.
[Understandably so. It had been bad down there, or so she had heard.]
