Kitori shook her head and closed her eyes.<span style="color: DarkRed"> "She's already done so much for us, we don't need to bother her with something that trivial."</span>She returned the kiss half-heartedly and stared him in the eye for a long moment.<span style="color: DarkRed">"When are you leaving me? I want to make our last days together as special as possible."</span><br/><br/>Karren shrugged and folded her arms behind her head as they neared the house.<span style="color: Orange">"Kitori doesn't know that, she's just a grunt. And I remember you telling me that story, four times in fact. I know what she can and can't do, she's not a healer, sure she has the same basic healing abilities as Ras but that's about it. I know for a fact she can't remove the rune, and it's also not designed to kill the Naga, it'll just very slowly freeze her from the inside out causing intense pain or discomfort. If she lays a finger on me the rune will activate, if she strips me of my powers they'll all go straight to Karrie and boom, hole in the middle of the forest. Karrie and I have very balanced lives, if our lives become unbalanced it affects the other greatly. Ras wouldn't touch you, Ibara is pregnant with his kid, and you're pregnant with his siblings. At the most he'd slap your hand and wave a finger at you."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
