He gave her a flat stare, before speaking slowly, his temper flaring slightly. "Yes, she does that sometimes. Likely wanted to make sure I was not actually intent on dying this close to home, and make sure your mother wasn't assisting in the attempt.<br/><br/>And I ALWAYS listen to good advice, the problem is that everyone simply ASSUMES I know about things, and then act shocked when I end up getting hurt because 'I thought everyone knew that.' All you had to do was warn me, and I wouldn't be nearly so pissed. I was dead set because all the other times I got healed I still hurt afterwards, but could still move mostly freely. So I figured it was just that again."<br/><br/>He leaned forward, and pulled her closer by the neck of her clothing, taking a deep breath to make sure he stayed calm and collected. "Meridia, you have this weird track record of being so smart about the advanced things that you are dumb about the basic ones. You, out of everyone here, other than Sapphire, KNOW how fucked my understanding of things are. Which means that two people, even more so than your mother, who I am not sure read the books you did that I am basing my information off of, get their advice weighted in quite heavily when I try to do things. But then you go and pull a stunt like this, and my trust takes a good kick to the guts."<br/><br/>He let her go, and limped back to his room. "And since I now know how damaged I ACTUALLY am, I am going to go back to the room, and use sleep spells on myself until your mother doesn't hurt so much."
