Shauna bit her lip but nodded.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "yes and no. a person can learn to change their habits, their perspective and even to suppress undesireable personality quirks such as violent outbursts but its still there the same with any core aspects of a person. but in my case the person i was before was erased and i dont know who she was... im sure some of her core aspects have survived. i woke up a paladin, i have always been very strong willed, i can be single minded, even a little zealous at times. however, those things can all be good if they are put to the right task. if someone tried to hurt you my zeal would come to your protection. my single minded nature will allow me to focus entirely on you without distraction and my iron will means your Succubi nature wont corrupt me in any way... as for being a paladin, well, can you think of a better protector? i can put my famed paladin bubble around you, protecting you from nearly anything while i put my maul in the face of our enemy. my point is, the core of a person cant change, but they can change what they do with that core personality. that other woman would have already done horrible things to you. i have healed you, bathed you and its taking every bit of my iron will not to bed you before your ready for such a big step."</span>she nodded and turned to face Saerwynn, stark naked and without a hint of shame.<span style="color: #ffff00">"i appreciate the offer but i think it will be better for you if we find out. im going to banish you now and summon you again in one minte. you can tell me where you went when you return and if its the sanctuary i will send you back there for the night... i appreciate the offer but i dont know how well behaved i would be in my sleep and i dont think your ready for the sexual advances any erotic dreams may cause."</span>she closed her eyes and focused on banishing Saerwynn back to the sanctuary if that option was open to her. almost exactly a minute after she banished Saerwynn she summoned her back and smile.<span style="color: #ffff00">"so, where did you go?"</span><br/><br/>Amere looked up and smiled faintly.<span style="color: #ff4dff">"Karrie, as far as im concerned i adopted you and Karren the moment i took Ras as my husband. not that either of you have ever listened to me but thats about how most step parents are treated so i didnt take offense. your welcome and i appreciate you coming back to see me. you would be surprised just how little adult contact i have... Shauna hides in her room, Sahra never leaves her forge, Elune spends all her time fucking or gardening, Muse is rarely far from either of them, Eru is far heppier with Ras and Ras... well, even with how peaceful our family has become he is still always busy."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
