"[color=66c266]Oh?[/color]" she questions, finally lowering the clipboard. "[color=66c266]And how long did it take you to realize I was gone? Was it minutes? Hours? A day?[/color]" she retorts. "[color=66c266]No, Artimes, Ivy, Jacob. It was more. Had you realized sooner, I would have stayed with all of you, but [i]you[/i] betrayed [i]me[/i]. I was supposed to be back in an hour or so, and none of you cared enough that I was gone.[/color]" She took a breath and composed herself. "[color=66c266]Once I realized you weren't coming for me, I gave in. Guess what? These people care about me. I'm no longer another demigod who is easily passed over for more powerful ones. I'm Leila, and I will not be made guilty by you.[/color]"
