i know. [ They have a weakness, and they'll discover it, but how much more torture will they go through before that? Who will die? Who else will be pulled through? The longer they wait the worse the situation seems to get.

At the mention of her father, her grip on the phone tightens, heart pounding in her ears. She's never spoken of him in detail to anyone. ]

i can. [ The idea doesn't bother her, in fact it sounds like a good escape. He's easy to think about. She misses how safe she felt just knowing he was down the hall. ] he's kind of the best person i've ever known. not just a good dad, but a good person. i was sometimes a bitch to him, but he was always understanding.

i wish he was here.

[ Her own relationship with her father, her mother, her brothers, is... complicated. They hadn't been close and she certainly doesn't admire them in the same way that Sharon seems to with her own dad. When she'd been young, Cecily had looked up to her brothers, templars, or templars in training, and had thought of them as knights, brave and valiant, defending the world against the evils of magic. She had wanted to be just like them.

Things changed a long time ago, though. ]

I can imagine. He sounds wonderful. I don't wish the danger on him, though I would that you could have his company.

He may still come, you know. More are drawn in each month. He seems the type to arrive and immediately have a plan to escape, or at least to keep you safe. Am I wrong?

i want him here, and i don't. he doesn't deserve to go through the hell we do. he's already given up everything to keep me safe. i don't want him to feel like he's responsible for me again.

but i know i could deal with anything if he were here, you know? [ but she's accepted that he's not a long time ago. ] maybe that's just because he's my daddy.

[ her parents were the best thing to ever happen to her, and she was the worst thing to ever happen to them. ]

He will always feel that way. I imagine that is what it is to be a parent. It is what you do for anyone that you love. You want to keep them safe and happy.

I think that I do know. [ She certainly doesn't feel that way about her family, but instead, about the Inquisition. Her real family, the people she loves the most in the entire world. ] It is because of your relationship. How you feel about him. With that, you feel invincible, even if it is not always true.
