Ophidian shook his head and took a deep breath.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "technically all of that is correct, i could tell her to shut up and she would. but then we are all living on an island with an emotionally traumatized and pissed off demon with the power to reduce this planet to rubble... i can keep her from doing anything catastrophic but i can't possibly think of all the petty revenges she could come up with to make our lives hell. she could make you shed your skin before your new scales are ready, she could set someone on fire or lightly poison Leena's food and that's just off the top of my head. the only way i could stop her from seeking revenge would be to order her to sit in a room in silence and do nothing, but then she will just sit there brooding and plotting. no, i would much rather be on friendly terms with my pet then deal with all of that over a woman who will never give in to you. Rayne battled the will of the most powerful and evil entity this universe has ever known and found a way to disobey it, your not going to put a dent in her no matter how long you torture her... and i don't want her."</span>he looked Nyarien in the eyes and then he looked at Leena.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "i want a nice woman who wants me like Leena wants you, someone who will actually love me and care about me the way Leena loves and cares about you."</span>he looked back at Nyarien and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "Rayne isn't worth your time away from Leena, she isn't worthy of my love and she will never love me so the whole thing is just a waste of time. i appreciate that you want to help me and you proved yourself, you beat her death wish out of her, you don't need to waste another second thinking about her."</span><br/><br/>Amere nodded and closed her eyes.<span style="color: #ff4dff">"mhmm, we all need to work together. i appreciate that Ras, i really do, i am happy to hear that you actually do want to marry me, i just can't talk about happy things when all i can think about is strangling that woman. of course that's acceptable, i love being cuddled."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
