Ras grabbed Ibara's wine bottle and tossed it off the edge of the balcony. "Fine, let's do it this way then. I won't let you drink in peace until you give me what I want, is that more like what you expect from me? And I want you to tell me what I can do, what I need to do, to make you smile again. I haven't seen you smile since the week after you got pregnant." He closed his eyes and let out a loud sigh. "Vyre is fine, her hormones are way out of whack, but other than that she's fine. She's also drunk, but she's fine. What do you think I'm doing, Ibara? I'm trying to understand you and your feelings, it's why Morah is still dead, it's why Nalo isn't up and walking right now, it's why Susan is sorting out Vyre's emotions rather than running from her drunken hormonal rage. I'm not going to act until you tell me what you want done, this is your city and all I want is to help you. Now tell me, what do you want from me, what do you want from our future?"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
