"I never!" Daine gasps, indignant. "Animals are my friends. I don't just go about forcing them to do things they'd rather not!" She pauses, making an effort to rein in her temper. "Sometimes - rarely - if an animal is about to hurt itself or someone else, I can order it to stop. But I've been using my magic for years, and I can count the number of times I've had to order an animal around on one hand. I don't exactly enjoy doing it."

Oh, and also? "I'm not in your head, I never was, and I wouldn't want to be." So there.
