Vincent shook his head and frowned deeply. "I'm going to answer that in two separate parts. first of all anyone trying to get between me and Sylavandra had best be ready to defend themselves because i will do everything in my power to kill them every moment that they remain in my way. having said that i cannot deny a certain curiosity about how Animus would go about trying to choose a mate for someone considering her difficulties with people. i also question the wisdom of you trying to find someone in your current condition, you should be focusing on your recovery. it's rather cliche that you fell in love with the woman trying to nurse you back to health and while i have heard of many of those relationships lasting i have also heard of them falling apart once the patient had recovered. either way that happened without intention and naturally, i am strongly opposed to the idea that you should be looking for love."<br/><br/>"Ibara's last hope for some semblance of happiness in this life was her son. Animus intentionally destroyed that hope through sheer stupidity when she shouldn't have been involved in the first place. Animus means well but she thinks that just because she has the power to enforce her will that she also has the right to decide what is best for others and she is almost always wrong... and she is never the one who suffers the consequences of the choices she stole from others." the Priestess took a deep breath and sighed. "like i keep saying there is no rush but if that is what you want you can come by the temple tomorrow to place your supply orders. anyway, is there anything else you need? i need to get these boys back to the temple for their supper."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
