She sniffled and hid her face in her hooves. She couldn't face her family, not like this...they'd know something was wrong...and she couldn't tell them. She couldn't tell them anything about all this...

Callista was nearby, gathering some herbs to dry and put in her home. They were supposed to promote health, healing, and well being. On her way back, she felt the unease of a family member and followed it, "My dearest niece, what are you doing out here" She knelt down next to her, "What's got you so upset?"

"I grew up with four sisters and your Uncle Jazz. I survived your mother's and Auntie Lena's games, and had four kids of my own. Try me."

"A male threatened to claim me tonight..." she said quietly. "You can't tell my parents or Aunt Lena!"

Callista frowned and pulled her niece up to her protectively, "There there now darling. You know you are too young for that. Any claim would be contested, and I am sure won. Did you know this male? Was it one of our friends?"

"No," she said quietly. "I didn't know him. I still don't. I can't do this...if he's anything like Father was before..." She shook her head. "I can't do that..."

Callista frowned at hearing the mention of Pip's former self. "Not all males are polluted in the brain as your father. Take Uncle Valzar. He's never been anything like that."

"Nicholai...I haven't heard of him before..." Callista sent the name back to Valzar in hopes that he would remember, "What is Nicholai like? Like Grandfather?"
