"But momma-"

"No but's Anna. You know that this is something that has already been chosen for you. Since the day you were born, all of this has been planned for you. It is for the best my dear. You cannot turn your back on this, if you try to you turn your back on us. You wish to bring shame upon this family?"

"No momma, but-"

"I understand your apprehension about all of this. It's understandable to be nervous and scared, it's normal. Tomorrow will be a long day for us all. The day after tomorrow we will be leaving, but Anna, there is so much to do. You have to be strong. You will be fine, you have been taught everything you need to know. Do you understand?"

Ah just nod, unable to look inta momma's eyes.

"Good, then it is settled. Go to bed and we will discuss our plans in the morning."

"Yes momma." Then Ah turn and head out ta mah room.

"How is she doing Raven?"

"She is...coping?"

"Do you think she will be alright? We do not need her running off, too much is at stake."

"No, she understands what needs to be done. She will do as she is told."

"Has Irene told you anything yet?"

"No, just that we need to get this done quickly, or something is going to ruin our plans."

"Do you think that waiting an extra day is wise then?"

"I don't know if we have a choice. The weather is not exactly permitting."

"Let me know if she needs anything."

"I will."

"And make sure she does not become a flight risk."

Raven just nods and leaves the room.

ELSEWHERE...

"But pere, is this really necessary?"

"Oui. You know how important this is Remy."

"Oui."

"It needs to be done for the sake of the guild."

"Always wit the guild, what 'bout Remy?"

"I understand mon fils, mais so do you."

"Oui, mais Remy don't have ta like this."

"It won't be all that bad."

"How do you know. Bet its real bad and nobody cares 'cause it's Remy's problem."

"Mais oui." He laughs at his son.

"Oh, so now Remy some comedian. Non, mon vie not funny ya know?"

"Non, mais I strongly doubt that you will feel this way in two days time."

"Right, you mind reader now?"

"Non, but we may have ta do something 'bout those eyes."

"Oh oui, don't wanna scare nobody. Remy may be called Le Diable Blanc, mais nobody like Remy's eyes, they don't gotta look, oui."

"Have it your way mon fils, hope it works out for ya." he starts to walk away from his son and stops and tells him over his shoulder, "and Remy."

"Oui, mon pere?"

"Don't even try ta run off, I will find ya 'fore ya get far 'nough, then ya in real trouble."

As he walks out the door he hears a sigh and a mumbled, "Oui."
