Ophidian smiled a bit and returned the hug, squeezing her tight and he rubbed her back with one hand.<span style="color: #00b300"> "i knew you were in there, it's why i have never treated you like so many of the others did."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #4da6ff">"you just fucking confessed The'kal, you don't get to recant it two seconds later and think anyone is going to listen. you knew Ashia was heartbroken, her children had just been slaughtered! you put Vyre into a false heat cycle engineered to exclude Ashia from soothing it even though she has plenty of the hormones that usually resolve a heat cycle. you broke her heart again by making her a failure of a mate to the woman she was falling in love with so you could steal her. we all thought it was an accident but you just said it was intentional. you gave her control of her egg production, explicitly so she could shut it off then encouraged her to make more and more of them instead."</span>she threw her hands in the air and shook her head<span style="color: #4da6ff">. "so what? now your blaming the body Order worked on for two weeks? your saying she was somehow incredibly, illogically, impossibly incompetent? face it The'kal, none of this happened without outside interference and it couldn't possibly be an accident. even you aren't capable of fucking up somewhere in the range of five hundred times in one day or for that many hours. and even if that were possible you had hours to wake Order and get her to stop it even if you did fail to stop Ashia." </span>she shook her head and looked down at The'kal.<span style="color: #4da6ff">"i thought i knew you but how do you explain this The'kal? and you cannot call it an accident, the more i think about it the worse it all gets, the sheer number of things that had to happen to arrange this unmitigated disaster make it impossible for it to be an accident. Ashia's body doesn't have a setting to just keep making eggs, meaning each one was triggered separately. those women didn't just appear in your home. the time involved gave you hundreds of chances to stop it just by teleporting Ashia or the women away! but go on, explain it to me." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
