Muse nodded a little.<span style="color: #4d4dff"> "Sorry. Yeah, warlock, let's go do that now. Try to not traumatize her anymore, Shauna." </span>She nodded to the demon who still hung limp in the paladin's arms.<span style="color: #4d4dff">"Let's go." </span>A portal opened and she motioned for Jasmine to go through<span style="color: #4d4dff">. "I do trust Elune, but she's also still learning how to best interact with mortals." </span>She followed Jasmine through the portal and two nearly walked into a wall of hellfire.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "Back so soon? Ah, she's not here this time. A warlock instead? My, you keep some awful company, don't you little demon?" </span>The wall of fire faded and the Shivarra offered a small smile.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "Couldn't summon one of your own so you came to find one here?"</span><span style="color: #4d4dff"> "No, we want to talk to that Eredar woman who knows Shauna's family." </span><span style="color: #ff0000">"Why would you ever want to do that? Talk to her or find out that paladin's past?" </span><span style="color: #4d4dff">"Because she's family... the paladin is." </span><span style="color: #ff0000">"I'll go get her, but you're not going to like what you hear."</span><br/><br/>Karrie knocked on the door to Shauna's room and walked in with an annoyed sigh.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Let me talk to your captive for a minute, she might not be the right one for you but I'll see to it that you get a good one. Not for you, but for the succubus." </span>She nodded to Shauna and pulled Saerwynn from Shauna's arms and started to talk to her in soft whispers. As she held the small demon Shauna would see an uncharacteristically warm and motherly side to the warlock as she rocked the demon and continued to talk to her. Through their link the paladin would sense just how much calmer the succubus became and it wouldn't take long before almost all of her fear had passed.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "A little birdie told me a brief... history of your family. Now I understand why you're feared and hated by my demons. This succubus is as cowardly as they come, and your past is only making it worse. I guess we'll just have to see if you're as changed as you think you are."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
