Once back inside and asked to explain in detail what was wrong with her father she started to fidget with her hands as her gaze averted downwards, it was a touchy subject no matter how casual she tried to make it... "As I mentioned before his mind is failing him... His soul was away from his body fro too long and now he's in danger of becoming something the Athailian's called a 'Profaned'...
