<span style="color: #006600">"I'll be honest, if I ever heard anyone, man or woman, talk about my children of family like that not even Order would be fast enough to keep their head attached. I don't care if it's Eru's hatching or my new Naga granddaughter. I may be an old man, but I'll still break someone in half for disrespecting my family." </span>He laughed softly and shook his head.<span style="color: #006600">"Considering it usually ended up with the man uh... mating the woman in front of those gathered to assert his ownership of her, probably not. But I think we all know Amere owns Ras and she's already pregnant so I'm willing to bet just something simple like a kiss would work. They could be clothed for that." </span>He looked at where Ras had been sitting then to Relene.<span style="color: #006600"> "Care to fill me in? I've been out of the loop."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0000">"She's still a kind and loving person, your kind are all hateful monsters that hurt people for fun. You aren't people, you're a savage animal without a leash." </span>Ras shushed Karrie and picked her up to cradle her in his arms like a child, despite her being nearly a grown woman. "You've been in a lot of trouble lately little miss, part of your punishment is living here with your uncle and his lover. You can go back to Rachel when Ophidian and Zelina say you can, so you have to behave and do what they say. And if they think you're lying you'll have to spend even more time with you." He sat Karrie down and walked her over to Zelina as a dagger appeared in his hand. "They aren't here to hurt you, they just want to discipline you and then teach you how to be good for Rachel. I asked them to take care of you. But if they do hurt you I want you to have this so you can defend yourself, do you remember how to use it?" Karrie took the blade and looked at Zelina warily.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "Y-yes, I remember. Eyes, neck, and belly... But if they're going to help me then I won't- I want to keep this just in case but if you say they're good monsters then I'll cooperate."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
