"She is proving to be difficult here too, but I love her all the same and I'm trying to do my best to give her a happy life. Just as I will try to do for you, though I don't think you need as much support as the younger ones do. I'm hopeful this will let us spend more time learning about each other and less time having to treat you like a child."<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff4dff">"You're her son's brother. Close enough for me, dearest." </span>She grinned and gave the shop keep a swat on the ass who gasped and quickly ran over to the register.<span style="color: #ff4dff">"There's nothing wrong with being conservative with your money. Especially if you could find another woman you love more and she could find herself homeless on the streets in a flash."</span><br/><br/>"If you had pulled the trigger the bullet would have ricocheted off my feathers and who knows where it would have ended? Maybe in a crib?" He folded his arms. "And how do you plan to make me leave? Your toys are trash, you can't fight anything but shambling corpses, and your husband is too weak to fight his own battles, let alone yours." While Whisperia came running in, Iron crashed through the roof but the harpy grabbed her and slammed her into the ground. "Sorry to disturb you mother, I just wanted to visit and this relic decided to get a little feisty."<span style="color: #8000ff">"I don't have any children."</span>Iron launched herself at him but he danced around her with a blur of red. "I'm your son from another world, the gods have broken time." Iron grunted in response and tried harder to fight him but she went spiraling across the room and landed with a thud. The harpy's feathers slicked back and formed what looked like a suit of armor. "My name is Fenix, the son of Ras and Iriaan." He pulled his mother to her feet and when she tried to strike him again her feathers fell to the ground and stuck there like daggers.<span style="color: #8000ff">"Me and Ras?" </span>"Yes, I come from a time where Ras found you among the harpies instead of Whisperia and Karren." Iron looked at Whisperia and Britomart in confusion. Fenix smiled a little and relaxed his feathers. "I'm just happy to see you alive. It was nice to see you alive again, Britomart. Try to keep your fingers intact this time. Cutting off metal digits is so... unsatisfying."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
