"I don't wish to worry you any more than I need to, Torene," Makoru answered, bringing his attention back to earth. "Besides, it's not important.

Torene stood before him, blocking his way, trying to bring her anger under control. "Very well.  I cannot force you to tell me what is wrong--but you dishonor me by lying to me.  Do you think I cannot handle the truth?  That I am weak?  I did not become the Matriarch of a Coven be being weak!"
