(Flame) Asja raises her brows and pushes her glasses up. "Ah. I see.  It makes sense now."

She brushes her shoulder a little where Nia gripped it. "First, a few corrections. Xena is not unkillable, nor does she murder without recourse.  If she did, her unkillability would have long ago been nullified.  She is not without her own flaws, not the least of which is her inability to value others beyond her own needs.  But, she has good within her.  Second, Tack was charming, yes.  I miss her greatly.  But she, too, was blase', and had difficulties relating with people on many levels." Her face gets a bit of melancholy, then it passes.

"As for me, I am not a Cheshire. I am a clockwork Golem, one whose flaws are many.  But I did not see them, nor did I understand how they truly affected me, until by being with Cire and his wives I was able to correct them. In short, there were issues with my life that I did not know existed.  But I am stronger nw, and better now, for having placed my trust in people, and their love.  It has allowed me to grow, being loved on my own terms.  But this growth was impossible alone."

She places her hands behind her back. "I am no expert on Dragons, but you are no different than many I have met. Raw strength is valuless alone, even though as a Dragon, you are far ahead of most Mamono.  You recognize your own flaws, and exaggerate them needlessly.  Were you to join our family, your honesty and good works would be of great value, as my work precludes me from balancing out the...antics of Xena and Laz."

She gestures with one hand. "My offer is open. I am not fully prepared to explain further the reasoning behind your inaccurate assessments of yourself, so I will refer you to the psychiatric services of my creator, Doctor Ibrahim." She gestures to Doc, on the other side of the room.

"But your fears are unfounded. You will likely only recognize this when you join a family, as your value will be unknown to yourself until that time." Her face is still impassive and her words flat, but there is unwavering sincerity in them.
