Susan looked at the bartender and her eyes started to glow a serene white.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"i think i know better then you what it takes to calm my mate."</span>she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Elerona and entered her mind the old fashioned way to soothe her just as she had when they first met.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"its ok my love, your ok."</span><br/><br/>Ashia shook her head and looked at The'kal.<span style="color: #404040">"isnt it? if i treated Ras disrespectfully because it was a Troll that made me what i am he would bully me and you said yourself you wouldnt protect me. hell, he has been bullying me since i met him on bad information. i know for a fact Order can be completely civil if she is treated respectfully because i get along with her just fine. and you said yourself Ras is disrespecting Order because of what Elune's brother did so in fact he is inviting her anger and deserves whatever he gets for that disrespect. it may not be 'right' but it is perfectly natural to bully those who are weaker then you and go out of their way to piss you off. i did it to a mortal who tried to treat me poorly because of what i am and i did it to Spite when she dared to argue that the mortal's racism was ok... in fact i see her acting out and also her restraint as signs of progress in her recovery. she is no longer an emotionless machine and is now a person with feelings and even mercy, i mean, she hasnt killed him or anyone he loves yet despite his disrespect and it would take no more effort on her part then blinking."</span>she took a deep breath and shook her head.<span style="color: #404040">"the bottom line is that Ras must be the problem. Order has every reason to mistreat me and none to mistreat him so what is he doing to piss her off? look past your love for him and try to see things objectively."</span>she leaned into The'kal's hand and smiled.<span style="color: #404040">"i plan to live much longer then that on pure stubbornness if need be. i dont think she is judging us, at least not since she fucked her priestess."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
