Reptar shook his head with a smile. "Rascal?! I have been called a lot of things in my life. But that one, is a first for me." He replied with lighthearted humor. He then sobered at Lyra's words. " Lyra, sometimes I think we're cut from the same cloth. You and I both speak of love and family for others, but not ourselves. Perhaps your mother was right, I am a bad influence upon you. And as far as Aiveron is concerned, when he finds the right female, my actions won't matter. Now will they? For she'll not even notice me. Because her eyes will be only for him. That is what true love is. Anything else, is an imitation of that fact." He replied thoughtfully.
