Illyana's trot came to a stop as she approached the Ringmaster. She nodded,[color=598527] "Yes, everything is fine. I just...wanted to thank you, for being understanding."[/color] She had meant to stop and let him respond, but it all came pouring out of her before she knew it: 

[color=598527]"I know that these feelings of mine are hard to explain, and that I can be difficult when it comes to decisions like this.
