I'll be what I am. Such words are so good to hear in a world where so many have to hide what they are or feel ashamed about it because of others' fears. Christine knows she would be a completely different person if she had been raised among the Avvar; that she wouldn't still carry a wariness about spirits possessing a mage, for starters, but so many other hangups too. It makes her rather determined to raise her future children in an Avvar hold, where she doesn't have to fear a reinstated Circle taking them away from her. That reminds her: she needs to discuss the children thing with Church when she gets back to the house.
