You are just like her in that way.” Tem allowed herself to laugh too. It was a blessing to see herself in her mother and an honor for her father to equate them that way. “You know what I mean,” she insisted. “Did you want her to do it?” Kronos sighed. “I wanted her. And if that meant she had to do the ritual, then yes. I would have requested it of her.” “Would she have done it?” His mouth twitched. “I doubt it.”
This is such an interesting convo
