Ophidian nodded a little and set the money for the beers on the counter.<span style="color: #00b300">"fair point, i have a bad habit of resolving arguments with my fists..."</span>he took a drink of his beer and raised one brow.<span style="color: #00b300">"yep."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ffa64d">"good, we will have to think up a suitable revenge... ooh! Sharindia says her past is bad, she will know how to hurt this woman."</span>Eru smiled and kissed Ras cheek to let him know he was okay.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"good, now, you go take care of Amere." </span>Ophidian looked over at Ras from the window and frowned faintly.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "Zelina appreciates the offer but says she is far too busy undoing months of torture, starvation and sleep deprivation on Rayne. Rayne isn't a problem... in all honesty, if she were dead, unavailable or wildly different from the Elf i knew i don't know what i would do with myself. i haven't had to restrain my darker impulses in decades and i think i would end up in quite a bit of trouble without a safe outlet."</span><span style="color: #ffa64d">"who is this Zelina person?"</span><span style="color: #ff8000">"she is part Succubus, part High Elf. she is also a priestess, my confidant, my lover and if i am completely honest, my slave."</span><span style="color: #ffa64d">"no. no demons near my chick."</span><span style="color: #ff8000">"as you wish." </span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00ffff">"she wasn't mean. she didn't blast Saerwynn with magic, she didn't hit her, all she did was show her teeth... growl, i dunno, what do Harpies do when they feel threatened? Naga hiss. but she is a beautiful, loving person and she is only in that body to have a baby. her powerlessness makes her more beloved by people who have the powers of gods, she keeps them grounded."</span>Vess frowned and shook her head.<span style="color: #00ffff">"don't worry, if Karrie shows up to punish you i will tell her i made you tell me and that she can try to punish me for it."</span>she sighed quietly before she shook her head as she moved one hand to Saerwynn's head gently.<span style="color: #00ffff">"okay, new plan."</span>her eyes turned black as her hands glowed with shadow magic and she set to work erasing Saerwynn's memories of Lyeve and considering her heritage and professional training it didn't take her long to root out all traces of the vile paladin Shauna had once been and then this entire conversation leaving Saerwynn thinking she only feared the paladin because she was a coward. she sat Saerwynn down to recover and looked at Nyx.<span style="color: #00ffff">"i didn't harm her, i erased pain from her past."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
