Draiss grinned, not inflicting upon him the terror, horror, and disgust Ama had later told him, after one of their nights together, about the rape, how she has been pinned down, and while most of her had screamed in terror and horror at the act, a tiny part of her had secretly enjoyed it. "There is hope, she wants to talk to you, and not with me there. Just you, her, and your mother, and a couple of my avatars and a small task force of constructs outside to ensure nothing interrupts the exchange. I am not planning to be within five planes of the discussion, though there will be quite the army to ensure all three of you get out if someone does crash the party. She knows both of you need the other, which is why she is trying to open these negotiations. Another reason I am trying to talk, rather than rampage. She linked with me, showed me what she endured, and if you weren't released from the taint, I would burn you and yours into ash for that. But I did that already, and freed you, so I instead try to help. In my own unique, psychotic manner, but try to help none the less."<br/><br/>He took a long pull from his glass, as Kyuubi likely noted that both vessels were enchanted to never empty, before looking back over at him. "You are still her beloved brother, she never forgot that, even as she endured showing me that memory, she begged for me to not go after you. But that is all you can be. Hope, yes, you have it for yours, for your people, but for you and her?"<br/><br/>He paused, and then shrugged, before looking back up. "I hate it, you know. Being a god. Never wanted it, never asked for it, just wanted to die. Your sister made me want to live again, so I guess I should thank you, for helping her become the women she is. And what a woman she is."<br/><br/>The last was added softly, almost as if he had been thinking out loud, before he stood up. "Well, I will relay her message to her about accepting the overtures for diplomacy. If you want, I can supply a recording device, so you can send her a private message, along with my word that if you do, I will not attempt to discover its contents unless she gives me leave to."
