<span style="color: #ff4d4d">"Maybe it's nonsense. Maybe it's just fear. I don't know. I'm sure you wouldn't love your son if the woman who carried his egg was just some random woman from the village. Maybe... I dunno, maybe if I find a woman I love I would be able to care about her child too."</span>He grimaced and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff4d4d">"The idea of being around all of those corpses makes me uncomfortable. I don't like seeing dead things. When I first summoned my drake I wasn't able to sleep for days and I couldn't stand being around her. But she's got so much personality, she's really quite entertaining... Oh, maybe Order can return her to life and still let me summon her like a paladin summons their mount. I think I'd just want to use my power to help people directly, or help you, but ghouls make me uncomfortable."</span><br/><br/>Nyarien ignored Jasmine as she continued to poke her food, making her dislike of the meal apparent. She did look up at the sword and frowned as she looked it over.<span style="color: #b30000">"You underestimate the power of pure blood Highborne magi, my dear Leena. The greatest Human archmage is a court jester compared to what we had. But for Humans I'm sure that is a very impressive feat, where is it now? I would love to have such a weapon in my collection. It's got a... charm to it that I really like."</span>She nodded and went back to her wine as Leena explained.<span style="color: #b30000">"Then he should dump Jasmine and start fucking Ibara, she's part Troll so I'm sure she's one orgasm away from being perfectly docile again. It would serve him better than pining over a woman who doesn't care about him or-" </span>Nyarien was teleported back to Ophidian's island and Ras rubbed his temples. "She's a lot like her mother. She hides her discomfort by being a massive cunt to keep people at a distance... So, how does ice cream, brownies, and fresh berries sound for dessert? I know you've been away but I think you both would be happy to know that Ibara has made a fair bit of progress. She's no longer suicidal, she's cracking the occasional smile and talking again, she's eating, and Sylavandra has been doing a lot to help out too."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
