What a precocious child with a powerful will. Was it not dangerous for that child?

It was good she was cared for, at least for a while.
[ Although she wonders if that may have made it hurt more after. ]
Is she safe now?

May I ask about your mother, Roxana?

She sounds like a charming girl.
[ Like someone who likely didn't deserve half of what she experienced.
She turns to look more directly at Clarte. ]
You may.

Yes. Even if my brother tried to murder her and still threatens to.

My mother has raised me by telling me to become a proud and accomplished member of my family, and when I do, she looks at me with a scared expression.

[ummmmmmm.
honestly, this kind of thing is far outside of clarte's experience, but.]
... It sounds like she was looking out for you in her own way, then.

I know. I don't resent her.
[ That at least sounds sincere enough. ]

That's good... though I'm sorry that it doesn't sound like she was quite the parent a child needed, either.

She did her best with what she could.
[ It just wasn't enough in a family like the Agreces. Her mother has too good of a heart but not strong enough of a spine. ]

There's no need for you to be sorry. It's simply the family I grew up in.

[ There is something uncomfortable in their words, and while it doesn't reflect too much in her demeanor or expression, they strike a chord. ]
... Thank you, Clarte. The sentiment is appreciated.
