Athena dusted herself off and turned her back on Sharindia as she listened.<span style="color: #ff4dff"> "So because of Vyre I can't be around the closest thing I have to family here... I'm not violent, I don't have those kinds of outbursts. When Kitori tackles me it hurts, my armor protects me from people who attack me or those those around me. When she's playing like she is it doesn't react and I feel everything. That's why I hit her and force her away, because I don't want more broken limbs, I don't want her to take my clothes off. I just want some peace and quiet. I'll even talk to Relene and let her judge me herself." </span>She shed her armor and Sharindia would see several new poorly healed cuts and bruises as Athena summoned her shield which hummed with Elune's energy, just like Vyre's spear but it also carried Ashia's essence.<span style="color: #ff4dff">"When Ashia died defending my family, my armor and shield took on her aspects. It turned black like her scales and began to respond differently, I can't hurt innocent people and I can't be hurt by people who want to harm me. But I'm still weak and vulnerable like any other Elf, I'm not a danger to you or your family."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
