He sighed, and nodded, before looking toward the inner temple. "That is for them to decide now. I told you before. I defend that which is mine, so I will amend that statement further. I defend that which I view as mine, either by being mine or by being under my protection, violently if necessary. I will admit that was excessive, unnecessary, brutal, and downright cruel and evil. Normally, I don't do that. And I have to live with the knowledge that that boy was merely used by the shard, barely able to think with that much taint, and I still took him to pieces. Compared to what I did before I ascended, what I did to him was nothing, as I only hurt him, not his family in front of him, but it doesn't make it any less wrong. One more mistake I will eventually have to pay for."<br/><br/>He glanced to the side, out where Ama had been, before smiling softly, a bit sadly but with an almost Fae air to it, and putting a temporary silence bubble around them, blocking her from hearing what he said next. "I honestly can't say that I am not looking forward to it. As I told my ally in this fight, there are days when true death would be preferable, and I miss the days when a death was the end, and the nightmares stopped when I woke up."<br/><br/>He dismissed the silence bubble and a his tears of envy, stood up, before bowing slightly to her. "I will finish rebuilding your temple, ma'am, and withdraw myself from it, only coming if you wish to speak with me. I don't wish to cause discomfort, and hope my six daughters can help you in some way."<br/><br/>He paused, looking toward the inner sanctum, where he could hear them talking about the fight, asking what had happened, and smiled sadly. "I wish... no, nevermind, it doesn't matter. I will finish this presently ma'am. I hope my presence will not discomfort you too much while I finish my penance."<br/><br/>He moved past her, and started getting to work putting the interior of the temple to right, pausing to watch his daughters for a second, before returning to work. The sooner he finished this, the sooner he could stop hurting so much, he hoped. Jashah would be delighted, he thought to himself. He finally, actively regretted something he did.
