<span style="color: #5900b3">“Uh… well I can be held partially responsible for the last two years. Whenever you pissed me off, or anyone else for that matter, he was the one I vented to. So he’s heard every little thing about you that I don’t like and never anything good about you. But he spoke highly of you in the kitchen after you left, and my mother can vouch for it. He says he’s glad he didn’t kill you and that you’ve matured exceptionally well for all the abuse you’ve been forced to endure. And he said Azeroth will be better because you and the Dragonlings are here. Not to mention how much he loves your children, that’s not something that can be faked.”</span><br/><br/>“Your sisters voted in your best interest and the vote came down to a single person. You weren’t betrayed and you still have their love and loyalty. Ras’ visits were awful, well all of him is awful, but he does still care about you. I’m not going to defend his past actions though, he’s an asshole. I can’t speak for Animus either, but she likely had a good reason for what she did. She’s incredibly flawed but she’s never acted maliciously, so I think you can forgive her misstep and instead carry that sliver of hope knowing Alex still wants to see you.” He sighed quietly and approached Ibara then hugged her tight. “I don’t think I can be the true, inescapable love that she needs but I’ll be damned if I’m not by her side until she finds it. But don’t underestimate me, Syl, I may be Timelost but I’m still Ras and there’s nobody more stubborn than me. I won’t ever turn my back on Ibara no matter how hard things get. I’ve faced the same void she’s staring into and I know it’s possible to turn away from it.” He gave Ibara another squeeze then slowly released her. “I was meant to be here. I had everything ripped away from me and I was brought to this time to be here for you, and I truly believe that.”<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
