Damien figured sadly that he might strike a nerve there but whatever could he think of to somewhat appease someone. Though now that he was listening to Lord Grant he was noticing a few things himself. 

"Yes, Dante is loyal to Lady Shade. However from what I understand he sees what she is trying to accomplish. Also I can see where you are also blind yourself, no offense. You seem to only see what you want to understand, but did you think to try and befriend her? Help be an ally, a friend that could possibly gain her trust and see what Dante has seen and what I am only beginning to see and understand?" He asks before looking to Lord Grant before continuing. 

"From what I have witnessed so I don't see what everyone refers to as the Purple Witch. I see a woman trying to cure cursed ones and taking on the burden of saving lives of every race despite the backlash and criticism that is being said behind her back or being said to her. But that's just my few days of observation. I doubt it would count for anything." Damien says the last bit with such a casual tine that he doesn't expect to be believed or is ready for being accused or barked at for his brash explanations. Like it's been done before.
