"I'm listening but they're all pretty weak excuses except for your mind still being messed up from Order's work." Jim tightened his grip on Britomart and he buried his face in her side. "You're right, I don't want to fight you. I want to help you and you'd rather be miserable and hurt those around you." She got down on one knee to look into Britomart's eyes again. "All you need to do to make him happy is be near him. Or is hugging your husband something you can't do? You don't need to have sex with him, or tell him you love him, he's happy just being near you. You're so worried about ruining him that you're actually hurting him. So take a breath and just spend some time with him. If you don't set I'll set off an EMP of your own design in your workshop and make you spend time with him."<br/><br/>Now closer to the rest of the family, Ras once again called for Shauna and Nyx.

Sound good to you?"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
