Vyre sighed softly and slowly wrapped her arms around Anna.<span style="color: #5900b3"> "I want to be a better mother to her. I know she doesn't trust me and she's scared of me and I don't blame her. I will do my best to follow your lead with her, but I'll need your help to learn."</span><br/><br/>Animus shrugged and looked around at the catastrophic damage.<span style="color: #ff0000">"What? Are you implying I had something to do with this ship being here at the exact time we discussing renovating this place? Perish the thought! This is merely an act of, um... divine intervention."</span>"Divine me barnacled arse! Them damned Elves are shit sailors!" Animus smiled at the man then looked at Jasmine as the flying machine silently floated away.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "This is your project, my friend. I'm just here to provide the manual labor. Now come on." </span>She smiled at Jasmine and headed to the dockmaster's office where the burly man was puffing a large cigar and rubbing his temples. "Ah, yeah, great, this is exactly what I need right now. WHAT do you two want? In case you can't see we're having a BIT of a fucking problem outside!"<span style="color: #ff0000">"Yes, and that's why we're here. High Priestess Jasmine here has actually been thinking of upgrading your harbor using the Animus' technology to streamline your work, make it safer for your workers, and even deepen and expand the harbor to allow larger ships to dock here." </span>The man finally looked up at Jasmine then Animus and glared daggers at them. "You two did this, didn't you? You're that damned warlock who betrayed Ibara and started whoring around with that Ras character. And I don't know who you are but I don't like you either."<span style="color: #ff0000">"I'm just a humble engineer here to assess the kinds of structural damage done by the wreck."</span>"Yeah, and I'm a fuckin' ballerina. But I see what's going on here... I'll get my guys out so you can do whatever you have planned but I expect the Temple to cover everyone's wages plus overtime for this stunt." Animus smiled at the man and bowed slightly.<span style="color: #ff0000">"We shall see it done, sir." </span>"Get the fuck out of my sight before I put a bullet 'tween your eyes, freak." Animus lead Jasmine out and grinned at her.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Well that went pretty well, all things considered. Wanna get some lunch while we wait for everyone to clear out?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
