With full honesty now I tell you I am not at all certain whether the waters of this last flood struck me or not. I am unbothered by the things that I have said, though pleased at the things I have learned of many of you. Know, my darlings, that you need not feel ashamed for those things that were brought to light. I for one think no less of any

Well done. I'd say you deserve that kind of good news.

Fifteen days ago tomorrow marked our second year as a pair. It is rather sudden, so I do not know how to feel.

[Private]

[der_umgekehrte]

Proud, a bit, at least? Relieved?

Are you thinking he'll leave straightaway?

[Private]

[impure_tale]

Of course, proud. Always proud.

We spoke briefly of his options. He seems amenable to the idea of becoming a Warden.

I'm not certain why, with that in mind, I feel so anxious. How to describe it? Most irrational, and I understand that, but I feel as though I might die when it finally happens.

Don't give this place ideas!

I don't know either. Wish I had a word of comfort for it. You must've been working to it with a will -- to stumble so sharply when the load lets up. You going to be all right? Can I do anything to take your mind off it?

I intend to meet with Iago and speak with him at length about what is to happen tomorrow.

...Depending upon when this occurs I will likely be departing the ship, briefly, just afterward. In the meantime, I would certainly welcome the distraction.

[Private]

[der_umgekehrte]

You know me. Always a distraction.

[He's still kicking himself over being de-assigned, but it's not showing excessively.]

Mind be sure it's a brief absence or I'll pine away. Or seduce Prefect out from under you.

[Private]

[impure_tale]

You wouldn't dare, you cad. [He chuckles a little, though.] Very brief, I promise. In the meantime, I'm sure there are things from which both our minds could use a little break. Splash of wine?

[Private]

[der_umgekehrte]

Woo him with my genteel nature and grasp of culture, you watch me.

But I like your thought process. Your place or mine?

[Private]

[impure_tale]

Mine, naturally.
