"If you cannot tell me with your words, then simply tell me with a nod or shake of your head."

"I hate myself, Cain."

"Why?"

"All the things I've pushed you to do... All the things I've thought to be important... All of it... has brought me nothing but heartbreak"

"Daphne...are you still unsatisfied living here with me?"

"I-I... love you," she whispered, "but... I need more. I need freedom."

"Then...let us go to Sanctuary and pray for forgiveness."

(bb in a bit)

(she can't leave the house.)

(why not?)

(she was not only banished from demon society, but was also confined by magic to their home. that's why she's so pissy. she's been in that house for hundreds and hundreds of years.)

(oh, didn't say in her bio)

"I know you're unhappy, but if I asked the High Priest to come here to give you forgiveness, would you then be happy?"

"He cannot know of my... of our... sins. No one can know what we've done."

"Everyone of that time knows and has forgotten. Do you want to stay here forever?"

"What of our current actions? Of our deceit, our treachery, our betrayal?"

"Noah...is in battle now, because of me. He will fight for us all and he will forgive. Because he is...understanding."

"No. He forgave us once, but he will not do so again. We cannot risk his wrath."

"He will forgive."

"Perhaps he will forgive you. But, not me. Never me." Daphne's look was of pleading, "He will have me executed!"

"For what? Trying to kill him one when I have tried to kill him hundreds of times more?"

(bbl.)

"You are his family. He will always forgive you. But, I... I am nothing to him. He told me that if I ever posed any threat to him again, he'd have me done away with."

"You are a part of this family as much as I am, you will be having my child, you have taken my name. You are his family, too."

Daphne said nothing, dread gripping her.

"He will forgive you."

"Fine... Call on the High Priest."

"When the cloud of war has settled."

Daphne could only nod grimly, a hand placed on her large stomach.

"Daphne, never doubt that I do not love you, only doubt if my words are of anger or hatred."

"I've been a horrible mate, Cain."

"You could have done worse."

"I'm sorry."
