"Yes, that may be... but you see, connection is only good if it's mutual. My children all feel the connection to me too. I know that nothing can stem from this other that what has been."

"Erina had a conncetion with you from the start. Let's see, it's a human theory... ahh, soulmates."

"Well then it's a good thing that I am not human, isn't it? I don't abide by human laws, I follow only my racial ones."

"I never said it applied to you. But it does to Erina. Watch out for it, you may just end up causing ANOTHER war between species."

"Another war? Pale Rose, please, enlighten me as to what war between species I have caused before?"

"You didn't cause it. Just that there IS another war."

"The war is quite problematic... so I must say, as the queen, how do you plan on ending this war?"

"I'm ot sure. I'm not sure about many things."

"Many suggestions are out there. But I'm gonna say this. Find a rock. To anchor you. It can be anything. But find something."

"I know a dependable someone." Jessica flashed through her mind.

"A dependable someone eh? How dependable would you say that person is? Enough that you would lay down your life to his decision, because he knows it is best for you?"

"I never said they were a man."

"It is a habit of mine. You see, in my society, when you referred to an unknown someone, you called them by a male. I'm sorry, a habit from my heritage. Same question though, just with them instead of him.

"Yes. I trust her far more than you or even Erina."

"Well that's good to figure out... both of those things. By speaking that, you reveal to me that you have trust in me. I am honoured."
