Tereza looks at her for a long moment, "Oh, Sweetie. As much as I appreciate you trying to protect us, I've had that end so badly. I wanted to protect her too. Treat her like she was fragile. You know what happened?" Her hands clench a little, "She was so desperate to not treated that way that some asshole pretending to be me played on it and used it to make her vulnerable. And then he killed her." She takes a deep, steadying breath, obviously angry, but not at anyone currently among the living. "We won't go into how she came back, cause I don't understand the 'science', but it made me realize that, in my desire to protect her, it made her less in her own eyes and that hurt her."
She manages a smile through all of it, "So while I appreciate you trying to protect us, we're not made of glass. We're both X-Men. I'm a werewolf. It's looking more and more like she's the honest-to-goodness Morrigan. We'll stand beside you, regardless, and take all the risks we need to take for you... because we care about you. Not letting us do that is counter-productive and though you don't mean it to, it hurts all three of us."
