"You fought so hard for her to be born, trespassed upon so many. Do you wish her to be alone, Tarantulas? Do you think Dawn will wish to be separate? Hold herself above and apart to everyone? Do you think you will be all she ever needs? All she might ever want?" A pause, and she lets Dawn have the mask, a sad smile overtaking the last one. "Do you think you know how she will feel, when she learns what you did that she would be born?"
"A clan of one cannot raise a child. And so you must no longer be a clan of one. You must learn what you must not do for her. Else Dawn will know you as trespasser, and every friend she makes? A risk. Every stranger, someone you might hurt for her. She will be as alone as you were, if you cannot change." Her eyes come up, and she meets Tarantulas' gaze steadily. If his hearing is good enough, he can hear her heart pounding, possibly even catch the tremble in her hands. But she does not look away.
