You are not the first, and will not be the last, to attempt to put me from danger in hopes of saving my life or my virgin eyes.My life and my decisions are mine to make, Ruthia, friend of Khaira. I knew what I was dealing with when I set off on this path. I knew what I was doing when I took the bloodoath that I have taken, and have renewed many times, before the gods. I am no freshborn babe, new to the conflicts that plague this land, or many lands like it, and I, too, have had my fair share of violence thrust my way bythe Fates. This decision is not yours to make, it is not my mother's, and it is not the Gods' choice to make. It is my own choice to make. I made my choice long ago when I set out on this path, and I yet maintain my choice. I will yet stand, unwavering, by the choice that I have made. Danger is nothing new to me.Please, do not think me helpless or defenseless - you need not worry overmuch for my well-being...</blockquote>
