Priscilla took the glass of water and thanked her softly, taking a sip of it as Garnet talked. She knew that James was bad news. She understood that, but she couldn't shake the feeling she got when she was with him. It felt so real. Besides... Garnet was his ex, after all. Was it not the job of an ex to speak negatively of their ex? She recalled the way Lord Cormier back home always spoke of his former wife, and how unflattering it always was despite the former Lady Cormier being a delightful woman. Was it that way everywhere? "Look, Garnet... I appreciate your concern, but I trust James. I understand that he's done bad things, but I believe him when he says he loves me. It sounds so genuine, and even Luther said that James wouldn't have said something like that if he didn't mean it. He's making an effort to do better and I'm behind him every step of the way. Ebony...seems to keep him going. It'd crush him if he lost her," she said with a shake of her head. It'd crush her to lose Ebony after how close she'd become to the girl.
