Monia looked up at Ophidian slowly and narrowed her eyes.<span style="color: #4d4dff"> "I'm not stupid, I understand all that. But you..." </span>She thought for a while then shook her head.<span style="color: #4d4dff">"It's your nature to defend Night Elves. It's mine to defend Mistress. No matter what I may say or do, no matter how much I love you and Kitori and your children, I'm still a demon. I'm still bound to Mistress' will and I am compelled to defend her without hesitation. I want to run to her side even more than you do, I can sense where she is and how much pain she's in. All of us can, but we all know she needs help... it's hard."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0000">"Then I'll die knowing I didn't hurt anyone else and that my beloved was happier with a new woman." </span>She flinched away from the items and even let out a quiet squeak of surprise.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I c-can't... she won't... Just take the fucking things! By the Nether you're so insufferable some times!" </span>Karrie suddenly sat up and gathered the items before walking back to the fire and taking a seat, the succubus now in control.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "You mentioned some stew? That would be lovely, we haven't eaten in days now and apparently we have a long journey ahead of us. And don't worry about us dying, that's our end goal so don't feel bad. Just know that our suffering will finally be at an end. You can sleep better knowing that you brought some kindness to a dead woman's last days."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
