Meesei remained just as firm, both in her tone and demeanor, though not aggressively so. "Yes you can, Sabine. The staff is a powerful tool, but you do not need it. You know you can keep yourself safe without it. To get past what happened, you are going to need to be able to let go of it all. I doubt you will ever truly forget what happened, but you will need to be able to leave it in your past. This staff...it is yours by right. There is no one who could look at what happened, what you did, and say that you did not earn the right to wield such a relic. But, you still have to be able to let it go. The staff serves you, but you are not dependent on it." 

Again Meesei looked down to her hands still holding onto the staff. She tugged on it once more, again not being forceful enough to make it seem as if she were trying to steal it. "I do want to help you study this weapon and help you discover what it can truly do. But, you have to trust me with it. Do you believe that I am going to hurt you?"
