"Yeah, I am," replies Artair, rubbing gently at one of the walls. "I just didn't know what to say... I'm not much of a people person..."<br/><br/>"You don't need to run off on your own to get stronger," Nightwing tells her calmly, looking into her eyes with his deep blue eyes. "Especially when there are such strong creatures out there who, as Blizzard showed you, are not afraid to treat you however they wish. You were very lucky to have such a lot of people looking out for you that time, and being rescued by Glade was possibly one of the luckiest things that ever happened to you. Now, I'm not going to force you to come back with me, but I'd like you to consider it. Glade never gets angry with anyone, and I try to follow her example, so she'll just be very happy to see you safe." He pauses for a second, then continues. "If you think I'm angry with you, I'm not. Really. And don't think that she's really upset because of what you did, she's just... Delicate. She likes to think that she can befriend and help anyone that comes to her."<br/><br/>Glade chuckles. "Giving up?" she asks playfully, tilting her tongue towards the back of her throat gently.
