"I know you're not but I just felt the need to explain to you just in case. Though honestly I don't think it helped any. Just ignore them. They acted like that because they fear you. They are a bunch of old timers, even Arden but Arden was once human and I guess...I don't know, he's just more accepting of things since he knows that a person can't help what they turn into and knowing your plight...I think he knows more than anyone what it's like to have something happen that's not in your control. And, we are to blame since it was our son who did this to her." She explained. Alice petted Faye's head. "For now, I think you should just worry about her. I can't help but get a sense of dread and doom. And be weary, there might be people who try to attack you now that others know about what you two are."

Seraphim stared at the dress as Roselle held it out to her but she refused it. "Keep it. You seem to really like it and who knows, maybe you will need the scent on it, if it stays for a while." She told her. "They are afraid of change and I think what we said scared them more than anything. The humans will expand more into our territory. I already lost a quarter of mine to them. When we revolted, hunters were sent out and then the real, professional hunters were asked to come in when they couldn't get rid of us. I wanted my territory back and I thought if we scared them, they would leave but that didn't happen. After that incident, I have lost even more. There have been fights that broke out over territory. We create allies not only to help with our defenses but also because we are allowed to roam on each others land to help with the loss of territory. It's getting really bad. Even rogues are coming together so that they can fight us off but they are few in number and really no need to worry about them. Plus, a lot have adapted into normal human life. I think that really scares them also." She rubbed her head and sighed.

"Its sounds lovely. I will check it out when I am in town." She told Roselle. A part of her felt like she found a kindred spirit in Roselle. "And I think we will most definitely be needing your services. I think everyone here knows that there was something that went on that we couldn't see and that added to the drama." She explained.

Arden cleared his throat. "It's nice that the two of you are becoming friends but you may be excused. And please do not tell others about those two. I feel it best we keep that a secret."
