<span style="color: #5900b3">"Because it's random it looks like another one of The'kal's mistakes. Nobody would even question it being someone else. And why else would Ras suddenly start hating Ashia and Order? They are- were The'kal's mates and he has no reason to dislike either of them. If Ashia can't be around her brood mothers because of The'kal's random power it's just one more reason for her to abandon The'kal."</span>Chiren looked up at Sharindia with her brilliantly shining eyes and Athena smiled.<span style="color: #99ccff">"See? She wants to find out when it's time it's uh, um, a surprise."</span><span style="color: #9999ff"> "Purprise? Baby purpise?"</span>Vyre snorted back another laugh and Athena nodded.<span style="color: #99ccff">"Yes, the baby is a surprise." </span>Chiren pointed at Ana and grinned.<span style="color: #9999ff"> "Banana baby burprise!"</span>Vyre snorted before finally laughing making Chiren giggle too.<span style="color: #99ccff">"Her name is Ana, not Banana." </span><span style="color: #9999ff">"Banana."</span>Athena pursed her lips and shrugged.<span style="color: #99ccff">"Alright, she's Mommy Banana."</span>Vyre had to take a moment to collect herself before looking back at Ashia.<span style="color: #5900b3">"Don't think of it as crippling her, Ashia. The'kal or Augur or whoever the Eternal was that did this to your children crippled her, you will just be keeping her safe. By that time hopefully Ras will be able to talk to you again and maybe you two can come to an understanding regarding the children. Maybe you won't have to worry about him hurting our flight. Shar- Mother, you live with him, do you think he would really hurt the children if they accidentally hurt one of his? He knit clothes for all of them, surely he likes them enough to be understanding."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
