Saerwynn would feel that this body was empty of emotion while she spoke but after a moment there was a momentary surge of pain and guilt that would knock the wind out of her before it was hidden.<span style="color: #ffff00">"your talking about Ras' paladin, Shauna?"</span>she waved one hand and the paladin appeared suspended in mid air and seemingly unconscious as Order stared at her and one eyebrow slowly rose.<span style="color: #ffff00">"Elune is a moron."</span>she waved one hand and two images appeared side by side and Order gestured to the first.<span style="color: #ffff00">"this, is a normal Blood Elven brain."</span>she gestured to the other which was heavily damaged.<span style="color: #ffff00">"this, is Shauna's."</span>the image exploded into it's various parts and Order pointed to various pieces as she spoke.<span style="color: #ffff00">"Shauna's problems aren't mental or emotional, they are very much physical. see this part? this is what regulates her moods, as you can see it barely functions. this regulates her self control, again, as you can see there is very little functionality. her memory is a total catastrophe. and this is the most important part, it regulates her perception, how she hears, sees and even smells everything around her. it is not nearly as damaged as some other parts obviously but it is still a problem. to be fair i am surprised she manages to function at all, and if angered i could easily see her destroying everything around her. she touts the fact that people aren't dead because it takes an enormous amount of willpower to not act on every impulse she has. it is commendable that she manages to control herself at all."</span>she let Saerwynn look at the images for several more moments before they vanished.<span style="color: #ffff00">"taking her power wouldn't solve anything, it would only leave her vulnerable if she does grow angry and then Ras will destroy those who harmed her. to be perfectly honest this woman should be dead. the only way she survived such a wound was with Elune's help, undoubtedly she thought keeping such a powerful paladin alive would help the Blood Elven people and I'm equally sure that plan went right to hell. Elune is a bumbling idiot on a good day and I'm sure watching Arthas slaughter one branch of the Elven family caused her great distress leaving her prone to rash actions."</span>she shook her head and sighed quietly.<span style="color: #ffff00">"before you ask, no, i cannot repair her brain."</span>the image of Shauna's brain appeared this time filled with dancing lights as her neurons fired.<span style="color: #ffff00">"this is her right now, her thoughts, her desires, everything that she is. but if i repair even one system."</span>the perceptual part of the brain healed and the entire pattern violently changed.<span style="color: #ffff00">"the woman who woke up wouldn't be your mistress. she wouldn't be Shauna. she would look like her, sound like her but she would be this different. i am not a god, i have no right to change her personality."</span>she looked at Saerwynn intently and the Succubus would feel the Eternal rooting around in her mind.<span style="color: #ffff00">"you are already helping her. your very presence by her side is what kept her from slaughtering first the shopkeeper, then the Raptor breeder and then finally that woman in the bar. because you are there she has a reason to be better. you give her someone to protect, someone to cherish, someone to make her aspire to be better. if you want to help her, and i see that you do, then be attentive. learn what triggers her issues, help her through them but more importantly help her avoid them. if someone irritates her don't let her escalate the situation, dissolve it. your relationship is very new so i have few examples to work with so forgive me for reusing the same story."</span>she conjured a chair and sat down.<span style="color: #ffff00">"in the bar situation, all you would have had to do to end it before it got so far was get Shauna's attention off the woman. get her to ignore the annoyance instead of letting her Blood Elven ego get the better of her. but i cannot recommend bars, at least not ones where socializing is the goal. if you want to take her to a bar take her to a strip club, the whole point is to get drunk, enjoy the show and spend a lot of money. the other customers will be less inclined to bother her. Shauna will never be a social creature and she doesn't want to be. she wants you, not the rest of the world. accept her as a kind, loving and shy mistress and be thankful she isn't whoring you out, beating you for fun or worse. as for your other sexual needs, open the chest Shauna's sister's gave the two of you, you will find toys in there that will let her be as satisfying as any man. my own Elf loves her toys when she plays with her Harpy."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
