Ras raised an eyebrow then shrugged. "I don't mind, do what you want. Unless someone says not to spoil the future I think it's fine to warn us about things that might happen. You already warned Relene about pranking Sharindia and Amber."<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0000">"And what if I decide to just use that teleportation stone you gave me and just leave? The warlock is gone and I can live freely and happily, even if I can't go back home to..." </span>There was a noticeable pause and a twitch in her facial muscles but she shook it off.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "I can whore myself out, earn money, and find an apartment of my own. I don't need you looking down on me and forcing me to relive the worst times of my life. I'll figure my own life out and then die in a ditch somewhere... like people like me deserve.

I'll just hurt her and ruin what's left of her life."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #666600">"Order knows I want her, she knows I love her so much it hurts, but she deserves someone who won't hurt her.

I'll say no more on the subject." </span>She turned to leave but stopped mid-step and looked over her shoulder.<span style="color: #666600">"Ana has raised two teenage boys, she's tougher than you give her credit for."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
