Tayui would like to do so many things to Eris and make her feel so many emotions, but she couldn't make Eris do anything.

I want to know you feel something even though you can barely even live without stealing a dead man's name. I know you're weak, but I want you to know it too." Even though Eris inched closer, Tayui did not back up. She suspected that Eris was trying to close the gap and prepare herself for a fight. If it had to come to that, Tayui would accept it. She had been trained by a number of good warriors: Skoll, while they had been members of Shadowed Sun, and Eris' own mother: a legacy in her own right.

She could only hope that this was enough to get her through this ordeal alive. [html]
