<span style="color: #666600">“I already told you when I’ll kill you. We’re trying to get you to a point where you can die at peace and without hate in your heart. Your entire life hasn’t been destroyed, you’re still young and have a long life left... potentially. You have a strong support system that you are fighting against, and I don’t just mean me, you have friends outside of this city, people who would drop almost anything and come to your side if you called on them for help.”</span>He leaned backwards on the bed and laughed softly, though it seemed more to himself than at her.<span style="color: #666600">“Alright. You weren’t given these letters likely for the same reason none of the people around you told you about the dead son following you around. Because Eldryn made you into a violent and paranoid mess who lashed at everything around her. Seeing as you tried to claw your heart out after being shown your son, what kind of reaction do you think you would have had to these letters? Keep in mind you’ve already told me that you think Alex chose Ras over you and I’ve spoken to Sharindia and I know that’s not true. Do you think you would have a normal and reasonable reaction to these letters? I would never try to diminish your feelings or mean to make them seem like they are unreasonable. Everything you feel is perfectly justified but I hope you understand why I’m still trying to help you. Yes, you’re not the Ibara who I loved and then had turn on me, but I want to keep you from going to the same path mine did... I want to try. After a year, if nothing changes, you will be too far gone for me to help and I will kill you.”</span><br/><br/>Ras made no effort to block the door from closing as he stood there in his full paladin armor except his helmet. He knocked again and spoke loudly.<span style="color: #666600">“I’m here to speak to your owner, boy. I have a business proposition a woman of her esteem would be foolish to turn down.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
