Nemo filled up a kettle with water and placed it on the burner, waiting for it to boil as Raiya ensued her spiel. [color=c0c0c0]"I once said something like that, Raiya. The difference being when I said it, it was true."[/color] He scavenged the kitchen for a bag of tea. He found Earl Grey. [color=c0c0c0]"Did your two apostate friends not depend on you when you were all cast out from the Arcanocracy?"[/color] He asked. [color=c0c0c0]"And in the same regard, now you depend on them. Right now you depend on them to run your gang. And if they were in trouble, would you not rush to their aid?"[/color] 

    The kettle began to whistle as the water boiled, Nemo picked it off the burner and poured it into a ceramic cup with the teabag inside. [color=c0c0c0][i]"I already know you would."[/i][/color] He crooned. [color=c0c0c0]"That's why you were so upset with me when you thought they were in danger. You even said they were your friends."[/color]

    [color=c0c0c0]"Not to mention the reason you left the Arcanocracy in the first place? What a tale, Grand-Magi risks it all attempting to expose corruption within the upper command. That doesn't sound like the act of a selfish rouge to me."[/color] After a proper infusion Nemo removed the teabag and poured in a shot of milk. He took a sip before continuing. [color=c0c0c0]"The reason you say such things, and I say with as little ego as possible, is because you are attempting to prove to everyone else, including yourself, that you are like me." [/color]

    [color=c0c0c0]"A creator must always live in fear that their creations will be destroyed, but a pure destroyer has nothing to lose. You don't want to get hurt again Raiya, that's why the guise of a destroyer is so alluring to you, even to the point where you've convinced yourself that it's true. But I know it's not."[/color] He explained. [color=c0c0c0]"There is nothing you could do to hurt me Raiya, nothing in all your power, or all of Felix's power either. You have nothing threaten me with, but can you really say the same about yourself?"[/color]

    Nemo walked back over to the couch with his tea and sat down. [color=c0c0c0]"Your actions might not all be virtuous, Raiya, but you've gone to great lengths to protect the people close to you, and do what you think is right, even if it's a detriment to yourself. And so that's why I say you'd be a good mom." [/color]
