That's what this is about?

[distant_dragon]

Yes, it is. I thought it was public knowledge (the first part, at least), but I'd rather not inadvertently make anyone else upset. So thus.

[unwinding_key]

[felinemystique]

Are your emotions always so easily swayed by what someone else says? I'm sure she just needs time.

Let me know if I can, you know. Help in any way.

We haven't precisely publicized things though everyone seems to know already for various reasons. We just chose to be more private about things. It certainly wasn't an intention to mislead.
