I thought the same way you're thinking now, that you're far too great a risk, too volatile to harbor in a place where we depend upon not only secrecy, but civility and order within our ranks. But Terenia...you aren't some violent person bent on destruction, you're just rash in your anger. That can be treated, with time. You're just trying to save the people you care for, even if...even if that means destroying someone close to you.>
His palps swish agitatedly. <I know. I've done it myself.>
