Draiss shrugged, before saying, "Maybe not in fighting the taint directly, but your support would be invaluable to her effort. I know Daminor will be staying to keep her entertained. I would stay, but I doubt I would be anything other than a distraction, especially once boredom sets in. Blowing up parts of the forest for my personal amusement would likely not sit well with the druid."<br/><br/>He gave her a cheeky grin, and then leaned forward, his eyes half closed, probing to get a better look at the raping of Cerulean's mother. He realized he was likely to see it for himself, but hopefully being prepared for it this time would keep him from getting sucked in. Cerulean never said if her mother had died, or just vanished, but he thought she might have been taken as a pleasure slave, especially if Cerulean and Maura's beauty had come from her. Reuniting her with her mother might heal those scars.
