"That's understandable. Especially if you're not used to eating such... exotic spices from a young age. Maybe I should go see if I could find a single Troll woman. That would be easier for Jasmine too, less stress on both of us if I find someone else to dote on. I'm happy for you too, you're... alright, maybe you're not exactly a saint, but you're still a good man."<br/><br/><span style="color: #9999ff">"Oh, but why were you chased? You, um, don't have to tell me if it's a bad memory... I shouldn't question my betters and it seems like it might be a bad thing to talk about."</span>Animus looked between the two mortals and shrugged.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I couldn't just leave her there to be killed by her father. I read his mind, he was going to butcher her that night. And then his wife who is pregnant with the child of another man. Both the woman and her boyfriend are safe now, don't worry." </span>Louise's eyes nearly bulged out of her head as she stared dumbfounded at Animus, but she was so stunned she couldn't bring herself to question anything.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I wish you understood how precarious of a position Silvermoon was truly in. It's still very much possible that this city falls into ruin and there's nothing in my power that I can do about it. You've read the reports and seen the information that I've shared with you and your sisters, but there are much, much deeper problems that you mortals aren't privy to. Order would take one glance at my data and see that Louise was never a slave and that she came with me because she lied to her father. She is here by choice."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
