"It's alright, I understand why she did it." was all she said when he apologized for his sister. "I mean, it hurts, and I don't [i]like[/i] her, but I get why she wants to protect you and why she hates the thought of me being around you."

She watched him settle, and took a seat on the couch herself, a pillow behind and beside her to help keep her sitting upright. She sighed again, finding it difficult to begin.

"I had a dream last night, about you... and Astoria." She started. "Rather, I should say Astoria came to me and took me through her memories of the events that happened back then... I know what she did to you, and I know how and why. I also know that the God of the Church was behind it all. I'm so sorry, for all of it, Asran. You didn't deserve any of it."

There were tears in her eyes as she waited for his response, knowing that the next thing she said needed to be said carefully.
