Monia returned the kiss with a low growl and grinned just as wide.<span style="color: #4d4dff">"Mmm, it involves ropes and all three of us. If you want anymore I think you'll have to get it out of me."</span><br/><br/>"You don't understand. I am a parent, it is part of my job and my honor to suffer, to make sure that you, that all of my children can be as happy and successful in life as possible. Yes, I hate your uncle with every fiber of my being, but if I could I would put my hate to the side and let you see him. And it's not just you that hurts me, Amber and Kalian have caused me great as well." He shook his head and kissed her forehead softly. "Order seems so happy to block your mother's memories off when it suits her, perhaps something similar can be done for you? Maybe if you forgot about Ibara and what happened it could help set you on a road of recovery. No, you won't hurt anyone. We all have those urges, even Amere, but the difference between you and your uncle or anyone else is that you know better and have self-control. Trust me, I know how you feel, but those feelings will pass in time."<br/><br/>Nalo tilted her head and held up one hand causing moving images to appear floating above the table. The images were of Ibara talking to Ras before he told here where to find Vyre.<span style="color: #b30000">"Ras couldn't submit to her, but he was also too soft to dominate her as she needed. Plus he had a family. Vyre has a history of taking in pets and being fair to them, ignoring the ones killed by Azshara herself. By everything I've personally seen, there was nothing wrong with her going to Vyre. And as you all saw, Vyre was willing to fight all of you priestesses to defend her pet." </span>More images appeared of the Naga fighting with the priestesses in Eversong.<span style="color: #b30000">"Vyre herself is too old, there's so little surviving history of her as an Elf that I don't know what her personality was like, but on paper and print, as a Naga, Vyre was good for Ibara."</span>She let the images fade and tapped her fingers on the table for a moment.<span style="color: #b30000"> "But Vyre loved her too, after the change. I don't believe that Vyre is simply a heartless monster who sought to destroy Ibara and everything about her." </span>She looked up at images of the couple laughing and holding hands together as they walked, genuine happiness in both of them.<span style="color: #b30000">"There's still so much I need to learn about mortals and their emotions, because I just can't make any sense of this. How did they go from this to... what we have now?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
