Malasha smiled a little at the mention of Denthor.  "I know his clan.  They're good sorts."<br/><br/>She listened to the rest.  "I can understand that too.  But Raven...he's like a tiger someone's declawed and put in padded cage.  It's not natural.  Eventually, one way or another, it will kill him.  He'll break.  Or someone will kill him when he can't fight back."  She shook her head.  "He needs to be made whole, somehow.  I wish Angel had taken him in, when the chip was first put in.  He knew.  He even went to Sunnydale.  Stood outside the house where the humans had him bound to a chair, knowing William could feel him there.  And walked away without even speaking to him.  This I know, not from William.  I don't think even William wants to admit how much that hurt."
