“Oh, so it’s because you think she’s a monster?” “I never… Why are you questioning me on my intentions toward your sister so thoroughly?” She chewed once more. “I’m just checking.” “My intentions are clear. They always have been. We are to find this book and then secure it. No more.” I looked up, hearing her feet move across the floor. “No less.” “Hmm, well, that sucks. My sister has been through a lot of bad things. Some of those things I had to help her crawl out of, and I wasn’t always sure she was going to make it. It would be nice to have someone with good intentions in her life.”
