"Do you believe me now?" I said to Khalifa as she remained silent, head lowered.
We'd made our way toward the city lord's mansion to recuperate after the battle.
Well, it was mainly Khalifa that needed the rest since she had been exhausted not just physically by almost dying, AGAIN. But mentally as well as she was yet to speak a single word since then.
"You tried to give this filthy race a chance, I tried to warn you, yet you refused to listen, now look, they spat on your kindness, on your mercy, on your grace, just like I knew they would, just like I told you they would."

"When will you stop being foolish Khalifa, or is it that you enjoy hurting me by letting yourself get hurt? Do you enjoy seeing me in pain each time some filthy demon gets to you? Do you enjoy watching me be frightened with the thought that I might lose someone I care about again? All because you wish to see the good in a race that is inherently incapable of such a thing? Tell me, Khali."
