Moonspear Flutter Like A Butterfly

It was odd hearing Wraen's own words used against her and she felt both guilty for saying them and sorry for Korei Julia, who was unhappy among her family. It was a tragedy really - because she could see the wolf the young Ostrega could become were she allowed to grow and let her soul shine through. Perhaps she would have done better with Osprey and Dante as parents - especially with former, who had children late in life and therefore did not take them for granted, rather as gifts that needed to be cherished.

"No one forces you to kill, Korei," Wraen objected, though even she was not sure about the truth in her own words. "And you don't have to be, who you are not," she bit back the part about "they can't force you to go against the grain - if they don't see that you are miserable... they are fools", in case there were invisible eyes and ears that watched and listened to this interaction.

"Do you know, where are you going?" she asked. "Or how are you going to survive now - it's a lot harder, when you are on your own, than you are with somebody." Partly she thought that this argument would be strong enough for Korei to drop the idea of leaving just now, but think her decision through and maybe do some preparations beforehand.
