"He raped you." says Shar bluntly. She sees the shock in Fortuny's eyes and nods firmly. "Face it, Fortuny, he did. Not knowingly... not willingly... so technically I'm not so sure it can be technically called that... but nevertheless, that is what he did. He took you pretty much against your will... correct?"

Shar sighs. "Fortuny, what you thought you volunteered for and what happened are two very different things, correct? You need to stop thinking of it in that light. Are you saying that every wife who is brutalized by her man deserves what happens to her, because she goes into the marriage knowing that he might be a rough course individual?"

Shar hugs her close. You are not a d. miner... correct?"

"Then you really didn't know what to expect. You thought you did... you heard about it, maybe even read about it... but nothing written or told to you by a d. miner... not even Hopian... could have prepared you for the true magnitude of what would happen. Now you do... but at that time you did not. You were not foolish, just misinformed. Didn't Tam explain to you how Kerobian was behaving?"

*Fortuny nods*
He did...but I...I really wasn't listening....I thought it would be different....that fortune could guide me through....now look at me....

Shar smiles gently at her. "I am... and I see a loving mother, a loyal wife, and a wonderful friend... who thought she could do what no one else could do... nothing more. What do you think people see?"

Shar holds her close and lets her cry, not saying a word, just being there, a steady rock in the storm.

*Finally, she finishes crying, uttering only the occasional, oddly enough, burp....and the liquid music of a harp wends its way through the clinic*

Shar looks up with a smile and hugs the lioness close. "Someone is here to see you, m'lady." she whispers gently urging the lioness to her feet.

*Kero is there....though his eyes are shut, and they cannot tell which one it is...he is lost in his music...pouring all his power into it...then his eyes open...and they are neither green nor grey...but gold....he doesn't see them, knowing only the music he is playing...a healing song....a soothing song...liquid beauty*

"Go to him, m'lady... there is a part of him that needs to heal even as there is a part of you that needs to be healed... the circle is yet unfinished. Do not be afraid." Shar gently urges Fortuny forward.
