Draiss felt his mouth open, and his brain stopped. Nadriina would be able to feel it, but he honestly didn't have an answer for something. He blinked, and then shut his mouth with a snap, before sidestepping the two of them to a small room that was isolated from the rest of the domain. He had a feeling that she needed to vent, but he honestly had nothing to do with it. "Nadriina, I had nothing to do with that. I made no conscious decision to force that upon you, and you know me well enough to know that I never would."<br/><br/>He paused and gently reached out with a tentative mental hand, trying to see from her side what was going on. Now that he was focusing on her though, it was immediately obvious she was with child. "Alright, logically I am the only one capable of this, but I didn't do it. I would never do that to you."<br/><br/>He would have gone on, before his face froze, and a flash of absolute rage flickered across it. "But it could have been done by one other, though why V'elen would is beyond me."<br/><br/>He poked and prodded V'elen, before his rage exploded, V'elen's answer being... less than satisfactory. "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>See if you could? SEE IF YOU COULD?!?!? You betray my trust, you force mine to do something she has made damn clear she never wanted, all to see if you COULD?!?!?</strong></span>"<br/><br/>V'elen's reply to his accusation was equally short and to the point as its initial reply. Draiss reigned in his temper, but kept talking so Nadriina could hear. "No, I don't know what I am going to do about it, since I can't kill you without killing myself. But there will be a reckoning for this V'elen."<br/><br/>He slammed V'elen back into the corner of his mind though it had already smugly returned, aware that he couldn't do anything to V'elen directly without also being childish, but V'elen already had what it wanted, whatever it was. "Alright, V'elen's fault. You want to blast both of us, or can we do damage control first?"
