He bites his lips a moment, then turns to them and quietly speaks aside. "My Brothers. We are tired. And the Stormhand has too be more snippy of late, but I do see her fears, her distrust. I have seen the look on others who only see you as a danger, and their death---just yesterday. I know you have tried, my Brother Jarrith, but we must persist. We must continue to try, for failure will cost Janis, us, and anyone who gets near. We must listen, and we must not judge---for that just leads to distrust. We must keep strong. We must defend against the darkness, for that it our pledge."Ireena shakes her head as the group begins to splinter. When Ashlyn has her say, she chimes in. "You---", she points a finger at Janis, "are an insufferable know-it-all who puts her bony nose in everyone's business because you think you know better. It is only fortunate for the rest of us that you are often right, though not in my personal matters." She looks hotly at the others, especially the Flamists. "I have seen the woman tend the dying and sick for hours. The villagers tell me she goes door to door checking on their ills and tending them in her direct if not friendly way. Yes, you fight the wolves at the door, but she tends the wounds the wolves leaves. And this is the way you treat her?" She shakes her head. "The Pale Lady is an insufferable guest at times, and her refusal to get the Curse broken is madness, but I have not seen her tear through her own men in a mad fury or betray her cause due to mental control. She seems to bear your sins; you should be willing to bear hers."Shen turns her head to the Stormhand again. "But your refusal to break the Curse is folly! You berate me for my supposed dangerous infatuation, but you are wed to the wolf and keep him there! Do you truly need that darkness? Are you so fragile? This is the not the woman of anger and forthright I knew. This is a woman who uses barbs in defense, and thinks danger will keep her safe. You are trading you self-sovereignty to be a slave to the wolf." She looks exasperated. "You once told me you were not being cruel with your tongue, that you wished only to help. Perhaps you too will listen now."</blockquote>
