Now Karren is no more dangerous than an apprentice ice mage, but she has all of the utility of an expert. And without her necklace she's harmless. No more demonic blood, no otherworldly power, just a human who loves a woman who deserve so much better."</span><br/><br/>Jim refused to let Britomart go and shook his head. "No! I won't let you wallow in self-hated, I love you too much to watch you suffer like this. You're beating yourself up over nothing!" He shook his head and even when she rolled over he nuzzled his face into her neck. "No, you're my heart and my soul. I'll never leave you alone. I love you, Brit. There's no words to describe how much I love you. I love you as you are, no matter your flaws or what you may think of yourself. For better or for worse I picked you and I stand by my decision."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
