"I was going to tell you when you were old enough but then I could never find a good way to tell you about what I did." Mali started, not really knowing what to say next.

"So your sticking around then. Who is this Ravenwaves?" Tash asked, not trusting herself to say anything to her mother at the moment, Tash wasn't sure if she could be civil to her mother at the moment.

: "The mother to a friend," the sarcasm on the word friend was apparent, "of yours. Goes by the name of Byron. We just found this out after the attack at the coronation. She had her majesty's father cursed when he refused to marry her and in an attempt to get even with Strongheart... murdered his wife, my sister." |

"So how much of an enemy did I make when I cast the rule of three over Byron?" Tash asked wondering just what she had gotten herself into again. Byron she could handle but Byron's mother?

"Anyone ever tell you that your great with understatements?" Tash asked going with if Bryon was any indication of how much they were liked. "Are Chris and I at the top of her list? And how likely is she to try and take us both out at the same time or is she more likely to try one at a time?" Her mother and Jules were probably her best bet to find out what she could about Ravenwaves. Chris's father was a dog so she had to find out what she could, and that meant putting her own feelings aside for the moment.

: "Strongheart said it was one of my stronger gifts," he said with a wry grin. He sobered. "As to which she wants more - that would be the queen. She's the one on the throne, which is what she wants." He tilted his head for a second. "She'd probably go after you one at a time - she's not too swift." |

So he did have a sense of humor, "I know it's Chris she wants first, that's who Byron was after, I just happen to be really good at getting in the way." Tash smirked a little recalling how well Byron had taken the spell, he really should have believed her when she had told him that death was by no means the worst thing that could happen to him. "I was thinking more of which way would be better to protect Chris, I don't need another kingdom at war or threatening to have a civil war." Tash said then realized exactly what she said, they still didn't know about exactly what had happened, at least she thought they didn't.

: Jules paused and swore colorfully. "Because I can see Ravenwaves doing exactly what you said," he said, massaging his temples. He looked at Mali, and gave her a devilish smile. He wheeled over and pulled her on to his lap and soundly kissed her. |

Tash watched Jules roll by, confused at to what he was planning. Then she realized just what he was plotting when he pulled her mother into his lap. She couldn't tear her gaze away, it was the first time that she had ever truly seen her mother happy. A part of her was happy for her mother but she really couldn't deal with this, getting up out of her chair left them, once out in the all Tash didn't think about where she was going, she just had to get out there.

: "I missed doing that, Mali," Jules said quietly, kissing her on her cheek. "It hurt when you left, and I'm glad I have you back. Although, I'm sure the kids will have to get used to me..." |

Wrapping her arms around Jules, Mali snuggled close. "I missed you too, next time I do something that stupid stop me? And this is new to them, we have to give them time to adjust." Mali just hoped that they all would adjust.

: "Believe me, I plan on it," Jules said softly. "Of course, we need to discuss our daughter. We aren't going to marry her off to someone like Byron, right?" |

"She's only seventeen, why would we be marrying her off to begin with? And no if she let's us have any say in it then he's going to be nothing like Byron." Mali returned, perhaps she should tell him what she knew about what happened in Muna; perhaps after she heard his reasons for asking she would tell him.
