The'kal nodded a little as she listened.<span style="color: #666600">"Maybe you're right for once. Maybe I've just spent too much time with mortals who are all self-serving and never do anything just to be kind. They always expect something in return... why would our- your people be any different?" </span>She shook her head and looked up at Order.<span style="color: #666600"> "It's not a threat. It's something I had put aside because I found ways to distract myself from my own internal torment but Melody helped me... clear up my mind and now it's all coming back to me."</span><br/><br/>"You<i>are</i>a monster and The'kal is damn near invulnerable, Elune is a child compared to you two. You punished her for nothing, now I've got an unconscious star blob and a crater in my front yard because you can't do your fucking job. She's already going to grow up without a mother with the way you two idiots keep fucking with Elune!" Ras' gaze darkened and he motioned to Ashia. "Nobody is beyond reprisal. The'kal loves his woman but doesn't protect her from me. I could kill her, torture her. That would hurt The'kal which would hurt you. She's a vigilante and a rapist, me killing her would fall in line with your own visions of justice so you would have no recourse. Sahra and I can do nothing to resolve an Eternal problem. The'kal is completely fucking worthless and you're getting too emotional to be relied on for help. I don't need to touch your Elf to make her life a living hell, undo whatever stupid shit you did to my mate and fix her issues that you no doubt caused or your Elf will find her next class to be very unpleasant."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
