*She smiled blankly.*
"Yes, I do."
*She sighed.*
"You know, I've taken care of someone for as long as I can remember. First it was my sister, then Marius, then Aimee and now Alexei. I've done it all willingly... but it would be nice to be taken care of sometimes. Is it nice, being taken care of?" *She asked sadly.*
