It simply made no sense not to, given everything you had worked for. Both you and Kara. You both wanted the same things. To stop the war between Demonkine, Trysk and Poren. To see a more peaceful world in general. You had barely had any luck with any of the pillars so far and Ranaghast seemed the perfect tool to reduce hassle and increase your chance of success in all your goals. It was almost as if it meant to be.
"I think we should do it."Jeane gasped. "Really? Just like that?"
"You said you wanted to, right?"
Her ash-colored cheeks flushed red. She nodded subtly. "Correct. Still, I feel bad for that other woman." She did not even say Kara's name, but you could tell she was being genuine in her own way.
"I'm committing to it now, but we're not getting married right this second. I can go tell her and make sure she understands why."
"I feel as though that would be best. I need to go tell 'Father.'"
"You still seem uncomfortable saying it."
She nodded. "Even if we are family, he is a stranger. Blood does not connect people, it just binds them."

When you left to find Kara you were eventually brought by your sense through the roots of the facility to what was Coda's room. You were uncertain what you were going to walk in on, but when you ended up seeing was Kara sitting beside Raithe. Your maid, the former prince, was standing by her charge dutifully. You heard the end of something that was being said.
"-d for that I'm sorry." Kara looked up at you as you entered and so did Raithe. Only one of them, the silver-haired fox, stood up and clung to you as she usually would. You did not try to pry her off, though it was faintly uncomfortable considering what you were about to drop on Kara.
"Clingy thing, isn't she." Kara scoffed.You stared daggers at her. "You still think of her as a thing?"
"She is." The woman stated sternly. You were about to go off on her, but she continued.
"But... That doesn't mean she has to be. I thought about what you said. She seems to form attachments and learn things to some extent. She wont be Raithe again but maybe by talking to her and teaching her she can eventually become something else." You felt a bit of hope welling up inside. As though in response to that invisible feeling Kara again added.
"There's no precedent for it. So don't get your hopes up.""Point is you're trying." You commented, acknowledging that she was making an effort where she was not willing to before.
"Yeah, yeah. Well... I took what you said to heart."
You smiled softly, but there was something on your mind that you wanted to air out before you dropped the news on her.
"Because I'm in this form, now?"She shook her head. "No."
"You seem very interested in me now."
"My interest hasn't gone up or down to any particular extent."
"You showed interest, far more interest than at any point, in being with me just recently."
Kara exhaled through her nose. "Well, yeah. That's a bit selfish of me. Technically you're all I have left when this is all over." You gulped.
"Mother, my sister..." She made a pained face.
"You know, I never really expected Raithe to do what she did. It was kind of obvious after the fact, but it shocked me. I knew what was going on the moment I passed out. You were there for me then, too. I think that's the point where I started to think that I was being stupid.""You spent a lot of time pushing me away so you could fuck other guys."
"Because." She corrected.
"What?"
