Ravensblood Forest You and I go deep like water

Violante's heart ached for Lorelai, for after everything she had gone through, she had nothing to show for it. She moved closer to the Mystic, lending her shoulder for support as she listened calmly. When all was said and it was her turn to speak, she did so gently yet earnestly. "Lorelai, you're not useless. You have done much in your time with us, and you are still learning. But I've heard tell from Noir how you are with the children... You watch them when Vagabond and I are busy, and last I heard you'd even gone hunting with Asara." And that was a big deal, as the Vicera had never seen or heard of Lorelai hunting before.

Violante smiled, embracing the other woman for a moment. "You are family. You are valued. And I promise you, everything will be alright." If Luka and Lennox returned, the girl would be accepted with open arms. Luka, however... Violante had given him many chances already. He would be turned away without question. She could not allow him to damage Lorelai any further.
