I think I'm allowed to be, every once in a while.>I'm tired of the Divine Angels getting what they want; I've said this before.>>10146096>They don't get to take her, too.Shogun turns to Keron...considering her tepidness and uncertainty, she doesn't go for the physical contact that she gave while she slept.
