Mari listened to Cheshire still leaning her head on Dum's shoulder. His embrace made her feel a sense of stability and safety she could really use at the moment. Listening to Chesh's explanation, she frowned a little. She believed him, but not<span style="font-style: italic">her</span>.  With a sigh, Mari shook her head. "There are many ways to hurt someone, Kitten".<br/><br/>After these words, she looked back at Dumas.<br/><br/>"You are a darling, Dum. Really. But...

I don't want to... she doesn't have this. You know. The Club and you guys... it's all I have. I don't remember my family, I don't have a home, I have nothing. Just my job and my wonderful friends. And it's enough for me."<br/><br/>Mari moved her head for a better position and took a long breath. "I'm sorry. Sorry for this. Worrying everyone, interrupting what everyone was doing... but thank you."
