Lorna looked at Kitori and shook her head.<span style="color: #b30059">"Sharindia is trying to make me accept that... it's why i am here, to learn to stop hating myself. if i am not bad then you are not bad for doing it. i like being nice to people and i am happy that i make you feel safe."</span><br/><br/>Ophidian sighed softly and teleported down from the balcony to look at Ras as calmly as he had looked at Karrie.<span style="color: #ff8000">"what makes you think i have given up? she has to be willing to be helped and until that time keeping her here will only make her hate me. the only way she is going to give me a chance is if she makes herself so miserable that the pain of the betrayal she expects from me would be a relief. you cannot take her home and coddle her, give in to her tantrums, comfort her in her paranoid stupidity. i want you to put her back in that hospital and let her wallow in her self inflicted problems. soon enough she will be a beggar in the streets but she is too proud to even beg so she will starve, and she will thirst but before anything serious can ever happen a 'passing stranger' will give her just enough coin to stave off death. sooner or later she will pull out the teleport stone i gave her and she will come back wanting to be helped."</span>he sighed softly and looked away from Ras but it was obvious how much he was troubled.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i will not let her die but she has to hit bottom... to become so miserable that she will actually accept help and change." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
