"she doesn't bother me, in fact she is kinda sweet in her simplicity and besides, you can't kill her, she is an innocent." Relene shook her head and looked up at Athena. "no, she made it very clear she would make you her pet project, taking care of you would be her way of coping with her own pain. all i can tell you is that she honestly doesn't want to hurt you but i would guess she destroyed your helmet as a show of force... a way of telling you that you couldn't fight her without harming you directly since both of you can repair a helmet." she shook her head and looked into the house before at Athena. "Amber feels safe around me and i could probably rip the world apart if i really tried. she knows that i will use that power to protect her, which is precisely what Sharindia, Lorna and now Vess have offered you. you said you wanted a family to take you in, why not let Vess try? she fits all your needs. she has no one else so she will give you all the attention you need. she is your sister and strictly interested in men so you won't have a repeat of the Kitori problem. and she is powerful so she can protect you when you aren't wearing your armor, which is no comfort, it is a place to hide."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
