<span style="color: #4dffff">"No, I think I'll stop having children after just a few clutches if I ever get that far. Having such a large brood and being emotionally attached to all of them seemed needlessly awful. Why make yourself suffer like that? No, I think I'll stay emotionally..." </span>She paused and growled softly.<span style="color: #4dffff">"I want to be emotionally distant from my clutch but I- I'll shut up."</span><br/><br/>"I'll be taking you to Sharindia's home which is enchanted and exists in a time bubble. I don't fully understand it but we'll spend a few days in her home but to everyone else we'll just be gone for an afternoon." He growled low and looked away from her. "You permanently damaged one child, drove her mother into insanity, and very nearly cost me a second child and my wife. Kitori will never be able to live inside, she'll never be able to live a normal life, and her mother will never know why she did the things she did. When I decided not to kill you I made the decision to accept these things. And some days it's a real struggle not to just..." He took a deep breath and wrapped one arm around her then leaned against her. "I'm not going to hurt you. Even if you weren't pregnant I wouldn't. I'm tired of being angry and violent, I'm tired of hurting people. And you living in this house is helping me to strengthen my resolve and reminding me that mercy is the correct path."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
