Sahra listened to Elune for a moment then kissed her to interrupt her.<span style="color: blue">"You're sounding more than a little insane right now my dear, please stop. You're a beautiful and powerful Elf, now leave it at that for my own sanity okay? I don't understand your power or much of what you're saying and, to be honest, I don't think I want to. Maybe in time you can explain it to me again but for now what I do understand is that you want to keep me alive as long as you are, far longer than the average Human, and as long as I always have you I'll be okay with that."</span>She shook her head and smiled.<span style="color: blue">"You warned me but I took the risk anyways and I'm glad I did, I don't want you to feel guilty I want you to be happy and enjoy my company and affection... though I would like to find a man so I could give Jade a sibling before she gets too old. Relene is too... mature? to be a good playmate for her and that rat isn't going to give her the same companionship that a brother or sister could give her."</span><br/><br/>Jim gently pushed the boy away with his clean hand and shook his head. "I appreciate the sentiment but not even the best healers here could do anything but slow it down a little bit." He let out a quiet sigh and looked back at him. "I probably have a couple hours left, I'm sure I'll be fine and even if she doesn't make it back in time she's looking for a man, and a friend, who can bring the dead back to life. She won't let me stay dead if she doesn't have to. Why don't you go run along and play? Leave a dying man to his own, please."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
