Leaving, But Not Gone
Elysia stared her dad down, who looked back at her just as calmly.
"I am. However, I will not be taking you with me. As strong as I am, I will be unable to hide your human presence with how weakened I am. I won't accept any refusal on this matter. You will be going back to Incantix.
You don't want to leave with Alec? Fine. It doesn't matter even if you don't go with Alec, but you must experience the various things the world has to offer. We've spent a long time in isolation together.
Right now, you are too weak for me to be able to bring with me. You have no experience, nor do you know any social cues at all. The place I am heading to is very far from Incantix, but I will be able to find you as long as you remain my daughter."
Elysia deflated a little.
To be honest, she knew that this day was going to come sooner or later, but that didn't mean that she had to like it.
