Animus listened quietly for a while and summoned and dismissed several screens while she did so.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "I've been through your office and read every report you've ever had passed to your desk, even the ones that have been thrown away rather than filed. You and your sisters did your due diligence on Vyre and know she would never leave a broken person left to fend for themselves, male or female. Why did you all jump the conclusion that this Human woman was some prostitute Vyre was fooling around with and not just a pet? You don't need to answer that. I'll talk to Sharindia and Ras about the boy... I will arrange a meeting for you and your sisters to talk to Sharindia and Ras about the boy. Perhaps talking to Order or someone else might help undo the damage of The Destroyer? Ibara can't be happy living life being so full of anger at people who would drop anything to be by her side." </span>She raised an eyebrow and summoned a screen which then floated over to Valeen. The screen showed Vyre curled up in her bed at Ras' home clutching her head hard enough to stain the bedding with her blood.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "There may not be much Vyre left for any of us to worry about soon. She's having to come face to face with every moment of torture Azshara ever put her though, and the suffering she put her loved ones through, all at the same time."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #336600">"The Vyre I knew was a kind and patient soul with a stony exterior. She would never turn her back on someone in need of help even if it would cost herself everything, I can't believe she was so different in this timeline. I was under the impression all timelines would be at least roughly similar but I haven't seen or heard anything that's even remotely comparable to mine." </span>He let her speak and stood up to hug her tight.<span style="color: #336600"> "Did he steal the child or did he adopt him thinking he would be better off with his family? Let me finish, please, you hate Ras and have made it painfully obvious. You're also busy running a city and managing the High Priestesses and playing nice with Order while being at the mercy of The'kal and their daughter. I'm sure you'll be a great mother to the boy but does the native Ras know that you have the time and place for a child? If the boy gave you a birthday gift it should be obvious that he still cares and wants to be a part of your life." </span>He gave her a soft squeeze.<span style="color: #336600">"I know you hate Ras but maybe you can reach out to him and come to a shared custody agreement for the child?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
