Synscilla took a deep breath and cupped her hands over her mouth as she exhaled.<span style="color: #9999ff"> "I guess you have a point. I will give her some time and... I will use that time to try preparing myself to accept that she's a different woman. Because I'm a mortal and I'm coping with the death of my sister and my best friend. I'm not mad at you or disappointed I'm just... I'm sorry."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #5900b3">"Smile? No, I actually braced myself expecting you to slap me. You're supposed to take me home so I can assure Anna that I'm okay and I can start making up for all of the trouble I've caused you. I can never undo the damage I've caused, I can't make your heart stop hurting, but I can work on giving you a reason to smile again can't I? Ras... he's been busy. From what I gather right after he brought me here his harpy child hatched, I had nearly starved to death before he remembered I was here, and by then all he did was use some spell to keep me alive. And I know Amere just had her child too. I don't think Ras meant to be so cold, he's just been distracted. Shar- My mother also could have reached out to you." </span>Athena winced and little and seemed to shrank in her seat, the fire she once had either beaten out of her by Vyre or extinguished.<span style="color: #cc99ff">"I couldn't come back to Anna... I wanted to run back to her arms, I tried to go to her. Kitori can teleport and she can track me, she drags me back here. I never ignored her but I can't leave, Kitori is a monster and that Naga won't let me leave. Will you tell her how sorry I am for worrying her? I never meant to stay away... I want to go home."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
