When Cora and Maggie leave, Janani completely collapses into a sobbing heap. When Mystina is right near her, she doesn't know wether to cling to her or move away...afraid that she may respond the same way the two whom just left did... She does answer her...in a very small voice.
I'm a Celestial...
((*copy'n'paste* ninja No prob, Maggie ^_^ ))

*Mystina knelt down beside Janani, throughly confused at this point.* Yes sweetie, I know you are... What happened? Why're you crying darling?
*She wrapped her arms around the giant and hugged her, stroking her hair and trying to offer her some comfort.*

I... I...
She didn't know if she could bear if Mystina grew to hate her, too. Kara was the first, and she expressed no reason. Now Cora... She was so nice... She didn't know if she could bear it, but Mystina had the right to know. To make that choice.
The Seraphim... They can give...Celestials orders... That's why...
She shakes her head, not wanting to fight back against Mystina's judgement, either.
That's why Cora hates me now!

*Mystina hugged Janani again and looked a bit shocked* Honey I doubt she hates you, she probably just doesn't understand. I don't know much about the Seraphim but... Even if they give you orders, can you fight them, or go against them?

She shakes her head.
No... Even if I wanted to... They're too powerful. I couldn't without Intervention...
It's obvious the kind of intervention she's talking about.
I can question their orders...if I have good enough reason...
Janani knew, however, that she couldn't just go against their orders, let alone defy them.
...besides that...a Seraphim...or several of them...killed one of those who visit here...only a few days ago...

*Mystina blinked* Killed....someone?! W-what?! Who was it?
*She recovered a bit from the shock, and tilted her head* Janani, if you have no choice in obeying, or disobeying these orders, then no one should hate you for it. If it is not your choice on obeying or disobeying them, then it's not your fault.

I don't know!
She gasps as she covered her mouth. She'd yelled again. She didn't mean to, but it had slipped through.
I'm sorry...
She sighs as she tries to continue.
A girl...with a robe and a sword... Grey eyes... She had those, too... Nobody ever said a name...
She almost sobs again as the next part comes out in a small voice.
I think they hurt Luke, too... I just... I just don't know, though...
Janani shakes her head, violently, at the next part.
I don't want to kill anybody! You're all Terrans! I swore to protect Terrans...but Seraphim...they've killed... Why?!
She finally looks towards Mystina's face, but she can't seem to find her eyes.

*Mystina tried to give her a little smile* It's okay, you don't need to apologize. I know you don't want to kill anyone sweetheart, and hopefully you won't ever be in a position where you have recieve orders to from the Seraphim. I don't know why they killed... I don't know why anyone kills...
*She hugged Janani again, saying a silent prayer for the girl who died, and one for Luke since he was hurt also*

Janani tries wiping her eyes before they go wide with realization that she'd been seperated from WhiteRose. Her right hand darts for it...only to find the white Cat Plushie quickly and hug it to her chest. She shakes her head as she finally embraces Mystina.
Did you know her? ...and do you think Cora could ever forgive me?

*Mystina shook her head softly* I haven't been in here in a while, so, I'm guessing I must have missed her...
I think that Cora is just upset right now, darling. Once she knows that there is no way for you to fight this, hopefully she will. Maybe Tavin could help you somehow, maybe there's some loophole we don't know about... But I don't see the sense in blaming you for something you cannot control. *Mystina kissed Janani on the forehead* Cora is smart, and reasonable... I'm sure she'll understand once she cools off.

Janani doesn't know if she can agree. Perhaps she had seen too much for her rather meager maturity level. She was, afterall, still very young in the Shard's eyes.
She... She was so upset that they could kill... She was so upset that somebody she cared for was hurt... She was so...so scared that it might happen...to Maggie...or somebody else...but...
Janani shakes her head. Cora had gone from trying to comfort her from the fear she was feeling...to outright drilling it in...
As soon as she heard that the Seraphim can give my people orders...she...she snapped...
She looks ashamed.
Why wouldn't she?
Perhaps Tavin could... There was something about him. There was a wisdom that just couldn't be ignored. There was also...a lingering sadness. Ressentment. She could sense that much, at least.

*Mystina stroked Janani's hair softly* Honey, don't you be ashamed or blame yourself for this. When someone you care about is hurt, you react in ways you might not normally. Fear causes a person to react in an aggressive manor at times... She just doesn't know that it's not your choice yet I bet. I know in your heart that if you had a choice in this, you wouldn't do it. I know that if you could take yourself away from here to protect everyone, you'd do it in a heartbeat... But this isn't under your control. I think Cora will forgive you once she knows this is not your choice, nor fault.
*She honestly believed this, she couldn't understand how anyone could blame Janani for something she couldn't control*

Janani's literally clinging to Mystina at this point. She's still holding her WhiteRose. If Cora wanted Janani to feel pain...all she had to do was take her agression out on that simple, white Cat Plushie. The Bind's greatest secret.
I want my brother! He'd know what to do!
She's sobbing more, now. She hadn't seen him in several hundred years... It'd been so long.
How can I tell her? How...? She's so...so scared of the Seraphim...
To be honest...
I think I'm scared of them...
...but not in that respectful fear way. No. It's not like how she fears GOD.

*Mystina hugged Janani and rocked her a little to soothe her, like she would do with her daughter* Shh, I know honey... I wish I knew what to do. And I think we're all scared of the Seraphim, we'd be a bit foolish not to, wouldn't we be? Being that they killed someone, I mean...
Just wait until she calms down, maybe have me, or someone else with you to help explain things to her... Maggie seemed to understand what was going on, and that it wasn't your fault. She might be able to help Cora understand better.

Janani finally nods. The sobbing had stopped, but she's choking on her own tears. Hyperventilating if its even possible. Close enough, perhaps. Still. She knows how the Brink works. It's unpredictable. Who knows when the next time she'd be here with somebody else...to even speak to Cora. She wonders what might happen if she appeared alone with her...
Thank you, Mystina... I don't want her to hate me...
