@ELV-EC1: I greet you, Misraakskel of the House of Light.

@FRM-MK1: House Light and its Kell thanks Caiatlkel for her response.

@ELV-EC1: We have done the dance of pleasantries. We may set aside our titles and speak as allies. What is it you wish to discuss?

@FRM-MK1: I speak my concern with difficulty.

@ELV-EC1: I will listen.

@FRM-MK1: I have devoted myself to freeing my people from harm. Not only from our enemies, but the harm that a parent may cause a child.

@FRM-MK1: We Eliksni call this "shadow-of-generations."

@ELV-EC1: Why tell me this?

@FRM-MK1: Your father–

@ELV-EC1: My father is dead. Whatever is left has no hold over me.

@FRM-MK1: The shadow still falls. I look upon my daughter, and I remember my mother's violence. There is pain… and recognition.

@FRM-MK1: We are more than what they were. We are more than they have done to us.

@ELV-EC1: …Anything else?

@FRM-MK1: That is all I wish to say.

@ELV-EC1: Very well.
