<span style="color: #ff99cc">"I- no, it's... maybe." </span>She looked down into her coffee then up and Anna and put her cup down slowly. When she released her cup she tensed but Anna's touch kept her calm and she slowly relaxed back against Anna.<span style="color: #ff99cc">"I have lots of recipes from your family... They hated Ras and so they did everything to keep my to be more like them and less like him. They didn't like him because he was a powerful mage and they blamed him for Vyre's death which hurt you."</span><br/><br/>Kitori punched Ophidian's chest knowing it wouldn't hurt him and stared up at him.<span style="color: #a64dff">"There is no trying in this family. If you're a part of our family then you either do it or find someone who can. And if Ras found you that means you can do it. Ras is... a lot of things, mostly negative, but he- never mind. If he trusts you then I trust you too." </span>Her expression softened and she hugged him tight.<span style="color: #a64dff">"I forgive you. And if you truly mean to save our friend then I thank you as well."</span><br/><br/>When Karrie woke she instantly started arguing with herself and hitting herself in the head until the warlock regained some semblance of control, though with the changes made by the new Ras to her memories the warlock would struggle to even walk as all three fought and argued over where to go. They almost walked past the house until they stumbled and started to scream at each other. She sat in the snow and stared at the fire for several minutes before slowly dragging herself through the snow.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "I... I... please, it's- NO! We are too vulnerable, he'll kill us or worse! How will we find our father then? Father? We're looking for our uncle! The warmth... please... please let us get warm..."</span>Karrie made it a few feet outside of the house before the warlock forced dominance over the body and started to stand up.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Why do you get to control us? We-we... we're so cold. P-please?" </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
