“Quiet, Brenna,” Raighne’s voice is downright icy. “I’m Alchera’s guardian, and it’s for me to decide what’s best for her. She’s my charge, and I get the final say regarding her life. She won’t talk about it, and don’t forget the role you play in all of this. You’re only here to assist her.”
this is probably supposed to be endearing or whatever but it's so icky tbh
