Alstroe felt herself recoil in fear at Connor's anger. She was about to stammer out an apology.
Instead, her grip tightened around her staff and her free hand balled into a fist.
"And the fact that you would assume he would callously use his power in such a way is precisely WHY I haven't felt comfortable to tell you such things! And at least one reason why he goes to such lengths to hide himself!"
She stood to her feet, and stared her brother down. She was certain Connor had never seen her like this.
"I understand mistrust of a man you've never met. But I know him, and I know you. I am certain that if you were to meet him, you would likely assume the worst. Even if you were to use the Sapphire, you’d still assume he’s lying. And if I told you anything more about him then you already know, I wouldn’t put it past you to use that information to try and confront him.
And given what we just discussed, I believe you can understand why I would be protective of the man that I love."
Alstroe’s heart raced in her chest, and yet she stood resolute.
