Dymian shrugged and stepped forward. "I am a Maenad, a race born with an innate psychic potential. We are also born with little control over our emotions, so much to the point that we risk destroying ourselves and everything around us. Because of this... a maenad must control their emotions. I have spent much of my life learning how to keep my emotions in check, to keep myself calm in almost every situation."<br/><br/>He crossed the room, standing in front of her. "Why would I ask you to join the ship? What reason do you have to refuse? You are being constantly harassed by a man who wishes to make you his wife. And you have talents that could be of use on the ship. You have some skill in fighting and in speaking to others." The corner of Dymian's mouth twitched, a hint of a smile. "And, of course, you have a very beautiful body."
