. . . That appears to the case. Are you all right, Miss Ninian?

[dragonlitany]

A-Ah, I'm fine, I think. It was just... jarring... to suddenly remember something so -- so intimate, and then... well.

[freedomwing]

Yes, it's rather . . . shocking, isn't it? I am sorry you, as with anyone else, had to endure this.

[dragonlitany]

Mm, it was quite a shock. But... well, that aside, I can't say it was all that bad... though I suppose I was lucky, being 'married' to someone I know fairly well.

[freedomwing]

That is good to hear. I agree, it wasn't quite so bad . . . But I'm afraid it will be difficult to look at that person the same way as before all this.

[dragonlitany]

Yes, I... I'm still not sure what to say to him. And I don't want to just... avoid him... It is all rather awkward.

[freedomwing]

Perhaps things will get better over time. . . . Even if it might be awkward at first, it cannot always be this way.
