We've all been different people during floods. Next you're going to suggest we all look deeply into the significance of who we were the time the boat turned into a recreational children's camp.

It wasn't me. As far as I'm concerned, the matter is closed.

[Private to David.]

How are you?

[There's a pause, before Tirion finally speaks. He's sounds very tired, and upset.]

... I'm sorry.

Why?

Fordring, I don't want or expect an apology for something you did when you weren't yourself. Get over it.

Because I have the memories. Because I could have been him. I'm... glad I'm not, but I could have been.

Because I want to apologize.

But you're not. Anything else is immaterial.

You do whatever you want.

[Rising angry/upset tone.]

How can it be immaterial? I was forced into what essentially was one of my worst nightmares for four days! It might as well have been me for all that I remember, all that I felt, all that I did!

I can't just shrug it off!

Try ten years, Fordring.

And just how many years of memory of being under control of the Scourge do you think he had that I experienced!

Light forbid I actually acknowledge what happened instead of bottling it all up and pretending it didn't happen like you!

I'm not pretending it didn't happen. I'm dealing with it, unlike you.

You're ignoring it! Brushing it off just because "it wasn't us" so "it doesn't matter!"

And why shouldn't I ignore it?

Only a fool doesn't acknowledge or pretends to be unaffected.

Your opinion? That's why I should tell everyone I'm weak enough to let a flood hurt me?

It's not a show of strength to not admit when you're hurt or wrong, even to yourself.

[Private] darknessb4me August 27 2011, 11:55:18 UTC
I'm dealing with it!

[Tired.] You're denying it happened in the first place.

No I'm not, Fordring.
