"Father showed up drunk?" Christine repeated, sounding fairly scandalized.

Kevyn snickered, she could just see how well that went.

"Yes they did." Mali sighed, "Not something well known, I still don't know just what the logic behind that one was but Jules managed to convince from walking out on him. Something to do with the wedding had already been postponed long enough. Let me modify that I know why they started to drink but to become drunk that I don't know."

Christine just stared, looking ready to strangle her father with the tail of one of her pixietails. "What possessed them to drink in the first place?"

"Do you know any of the circumstances surrounding the time I got married?"

"Just that Father had been attacked by Ravenwaves around that time. Other than that, no."

"Just what do you know about the attack?" Mali hedged not wanting to say more then Strongheart already had. Mali didn't agree with keeping things from others but couldn't say anything.

"I know he had been captured, and that when he was reunited with Celise was horribly scarred. Other than that, not much," Christine admitted. "Father is under the assumption that he has to protect me from everything."

"And your not telling him about your adventures to prove that your more then capable of letting someone else worry about you." Mali retorted, not sure if Christine was able to completely be free of protection. Christine had lived a fairly sheltered life and as such tended to get herself into trouble because of it. "But Jules and I got married not long after Strongheart was returned to us and as such he wasn't ready to face the world with his scars. The original drink was to calm his nerves so Strongheart could be part of the wedding."

"And it just went from there," Christine reasoned. "But how did he get his scars?"

"I think you should know about what happened but I also don't think I should be the one telling you about that. It's not my place to tell such tales."

"Then I'll never know it," Christine said. "My father would keep me sheltered, claiming a young girl such as I should never know that kind of darkness." She sighed. "Please, Aunt Mali. You're the only one who'd tell me."

"When was the last time you really talked to your father?"

"I don't remember when we last spoke as father and daughter," Christine said quietly. "It was usually as royalty." She lowered her eyes and looked away. "I think it's because I was mainly raised by Mother."

"It doesn't matter who you were raised by, look at my children. They never knew Jules until this year, and they built a fairly good relationship; I know you can as well. Don't let him get away with pushing you away. I want you to talk to your father and after you've asked him once more about his wounds then I'll consider telling you about them." Mali compromised.
