She sighed. "I suppose it's better than getting your heart ripped out, but it still isn't desirable. What do your people do to keep you in line?"

"Kar tells me to stay out of the way of females..." he said biting his lip.

"It is getting easier..." he said slowly. "Though much of that is due to my sister. Though she is as bold as any drow female, she does not want me to fear her. She's actually very nice to me always."

Callista smiled. "I'm glad. I think it's awful of them to treat you like you're some sub standard being. I could never treat another like that. Even my prey I take great care with."

"That it's not good the way they treat you? I suppose it's all in the culture, but the majority of people I know would never treat someone the way your mother treats you. In my culture, our women are treasured, which is why it's so important for them to be guarded and kept safe. When someone gives a woman a compulsion, it is insulting and hurtful, but it is always for her own safety." She looked concerned.

"My mother does not treat me wrong," he said frowning. "She just expects the best of my brother and I...we would give her no less."

"My family has always believed that. Those who are Carpathian or considered family by one have the greatest protection ever." She smiled.
