Her current consorting with Anethema is not a contradiction in her mind as she self-rationalizes that since she thinks she can cure Shan then she's not consorting with "Shan's demon" at all, but rather choosing to conquer the demon on a spiritual level rather than the more traditional physical level that the Wyld Hunt prefers. |
