Vess nodded and smiled.<span style="color: #00ffff">"no, it's fine, i just never pictured myself having to talk like this, i never traveled much and i grew up with all my siblings and the children of Bloodhoof village so everyone knew everything really... my favorite food is shark, i despise asparagus. mom tried so hard but she was in a never ending battle with her dark side. she made a lot of mistakes when i was young but she did learn from her mistakes so we all forgave her. she wanted so much to be a good mom and a good mate for dad but she also made that harder for herself because she judged herself much more harshly then we ever did."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ff8000">"we will start when you are ready to start so long as it's sometime in the next seven days. i think you mean Rayne and she can take getting hit with a coconut."</span>he rolled his eyes and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i would have preferred to give it another twenty minutes but i could hear your stomach growling. i think your dad made some sacrifice to a secret chef Loa and learned secrets no mortal should have about cooking... i swear i could lock him in a kitchen with nothing but dirt and twigs and he would make it not only edible but tasty." </span><br/><br/>Ashia grinned proudly and nodded as she idly stroked The'kal's arm.<span style="color: #404040">"that's fine, i will come visit you, that girl has suffered quite a bit. yes, yes i did and i am very satisfied with myself. i would probably be sleeping right beside her but Athena scared Anna half out of her mind when she barged into the bathroom on her. the scent of her fear woke me up and i have been keeping an eye on them ever since but they are just cuddling on the couch and Anna keeps singing to her off and on."</span><br/><br/>Rachel was as tense as hardened steel in The'kal's arms and she relaxed slowly as the Eternal spoke and only returned the hug when The'kal finished and she squeezed her tight.<span style="color: #0000ff"> "i was so scared you would take our child away, Anna and the baby are all that is getting me through losing Karrie... i was terrified i would lose control if you did and i don't want to be a monster again." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
