Empress had drifted quite a bit away by now and Looker nodded to Order.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "Be well, my friend." </span>He returned to his hiding spot on Azeroth but Empress still remained at bay.<span style="color: #336600">"You can return to your mortal, I think I will... stay away for a little bit."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #b3b300">"Listen to me!" </span>He grabbed her by the shoulders and leaned down to look into her eyes.<span style="color: #b3b300">"You can be as stubborn as you want about this, but I will bring your Ras and Alex to you.

I just want to help clear your head so you can think about your life and future."</span><br/><br/>Ras growled low and kissed Sharindia deeply.
