"I wouldn't count on it, dear. Almost everyone not in our family thinks of me as a murderer and a monster. But it's go out in public with your mother and watch the world fall apart around her or go out with me and watch me get insulted regularly. And I can probably handle insults much better than your mother can handle being worshiped."<br/><br/><span style="color: #5900b3">"Yes, her. She's pregnant again and seems to have it in her head that you'd be coming home to sate her curiosity but I'm not sure that's something I'll be indulging in again. Well I can kill The'kal, and she's probably much stronger than you, but you don't seem to fear me. So come home with me, The'kal's word means nothing when she's so quick to explode. I don't care about what she or your empress claim, it's my home and you're welcome there."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #666600">"What am I supposed to say? We've both been ruined by The Counsel, there's no reconciliation, Elerona doesn't need or want either of us. We can't have what we used to, you'll never get back your memories... At best you'd be able to go through my own to see what your life was like. And if you did that, then what? You still have nothing we can't be a couple again, and I don't believe in hope, there's no 'oh, maybe we can fix each other'. No happy endings, no nothing."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
