Relene took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. "Kitori, you are making father sad because you think you make father sad. if he didn't love you would he have built you a great big home of your own? think about it, your children wouldn't be happy in the house, the rooms are too small, the hallways are too small and there is nowhere to run around. so he made you a special house just for your children so they can be happy. how much bigger does he have to say i love you before you hear him?" she frowned and then looked up at her and continued. "we have two sisters who do make him unhappy... and they aren't allowed to live here. if Athena doesn't stop breaking things soon she won't be allowed to live here. but you are allowed to be here, he made a special place for you and your children to be here, close to him. yes, he is still worried about you coming in the house but look, he left me here with you, all alone. your doing so good that he is trusting you to spend time with me without Lorna or Sharindia or Amere or even him watching us. your doing so good Kitori, so stop worrying and be happy that you are doing good. and trust me when i say he would never leave me alone with Karren or Karrie." she shook her head and looked around the yard. "next time you see dad just give him a hug Kitori, hug him tight and when he hugs you back tell him your happy. you will see how happy that makes him."<br/><br/>Vess sighed irritably at Athena and crossed all four of her arms.<span style="color: #00ffff"> "after what i just did for you you can wipe that look off your face otherwise i can come over there and slap it off."</span>she waved one hand, frowned and then cracked all of her knuckles then clapped her hands together, ripping Athena's shield out of Vyre's custody and it appeared in her hands and she looked at it and then at Athena.<span style="color: #00ffff">"so much for Vyre's threats."</span>she smiled and then created a wall mount and hung the shield on it.<span style="color: #00ffff">"this thing is ghastly but it's precious to you and belongs where you are."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
