Lorna smirked a little and adjusted her grip to let Kitori in and then sighed softly.<span style="color: #003366"> <span style="color: #b30059">"shush sweety, this isn't the time for such talk, just hold her like a good big sister."</span></span>she squeezed Athena and shook her head.<span style="color: #b30059">"shh, she can't help herself so don't be angry."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #003366">"that happens all the time on this tragic little world... hell, i have caused it more times then i care to think about. i always had a good reason to be killing one parent or another but six year olds never understand that, they are just scarred for life. the strong ones grow up and find a way to go on with their lives. the weak ones follow any number of miserable paths while the violent ones swear revenge which just ends up with them dead despite presenting evidence and justifications for what i did, i actually managed to persuade one of those to see the truth. but back to Athena. yes, her Vyre was brutally murdered and her father crippled. do you think her father stopped loving her or did he do everything he could to be a good father? she had Anna to be a mother to her, loving and supporting her as best as she could every step of the way. she had Anna's parents for grandparents who she utterly adores judging by her nearly hugging this Frank to death on sight. she has made no mention of Whisperia or any other family members but i can't imagine any of them doing anything but their best for Athena. and yet she acts like she was tortured for ten thousand years like our Vyre. its pathetic and a little disgusting to be perfectly honest."</span>she shook her head with a frown.<span style="color: #003366">"compare her life story to your brother's. they are both descendants of Vyre, he could have turned into her just as easily. but he came out of the fire more loyal, trusting and loving then he ever had any right to be as a male Naga. she screamed paranoid conspiracies at me because i gave her the most secure house on Azeroth... but while i am thinking about it, why is Nyarien living with the Timelost Ophidian?"</span>she smiled a little and purred deeply with all the compliments.<span style="color: #003366">"and here i thought it was my power, intelligence and honesty that had won you over." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
