[When she recoiled from him and turned her back to him, it took no time at all to realize that she felt no better about the situation. His patience had begun to wear thin. He understood that she was full of questions, but at this point, she was questioning his Father, his orders, and his nature. -

That Caliel was bad, and she was right in her beliefs. He sighed when she asked him to help her understand.] I've tried. And -

But it’s not like that. -
