[Zelda's in her room today. She's had a few days to think about everything, to reflect, to be fond of past memories, to look forward to future ones.]

...Where to begin?
I suppose... the origin is a good place...
For her, I must do all that I can.

[Text//Locked to Erol//85% Hackable] Sorry, she's on a vendetta chorusangel July 22 2009, 21:00:14 UTC

You would apologise to a man who has so little honour he beats a man who serve him with such loyalty that he would lay down his life without a second thought?

I've seen that you are one of the few people aboard who can see that Erol is not the monster that many claim him to be. If I am to even attempt to stop that happening again, then I need your help.

[Normally Christine wouldn't dream of asking for help from someone she thinks of as 'the enemy'. It's as unthinkable as asking Jak round for afternoon tea. But... Erol comes before any of her own likes and dislikes, and she's prepared to swallow her pride to help him.

Besides, there's the - arguably slim - chance that this girl (Zellie? Hilda?) and Erol are just friends. He might not be bedding her.]

I apologize for things I may say or do that can be misconstrued or represent my home, my people, my kingdom, or myself in an ill light. I may not be required to make apologies for others, or to defend them, or anything of the sort, yet I am required to make mine for me.

...My... help?

[Zelda doesn't seem to know what to make of this. She's put two and two together already, however. This is Christine, the young woman Erol has asked her to befriend, or at the very least, to... lend a hand to when necessary.]

I do not know what I am capable of doing, but if you believe I can help you, I will try. I must confess, however, Sir Erol is a prideful man. I do not see him accepting or requesting help as... much of a possibility.

[Yeah, Christine just... totally didn't get that first part.]I know, which is precisely why I need your help. From your conversations over the comms, I assume that you are... close friends. Enough so that he might listen to what you have to say. I will try also, but I worry so often for him that he probably thinks I'm just nagging ( ... )

[Zelda is touched by this request. Christine cares so much about him and for him. There are few things in the world Zelda has seen that are as pure as love and affection--and most of the time, those are what she finds in books, which at times have been the only allies she's had.

She thinks over Christine's words carefully. Zelda lives very strictly under the condition that she does not influence the way of life of other people. She constantly reminds herself that those aboard are not all her people, and therefore, she cannot always act in their best interests for them, or whatever she may think is within their best interests.

Helping people, however... In any way that she can. She has always believed she has done precisely that for Erol, or for anyone else. After all, it is how she would like to be treated in return.]It is not possible to change the perspectives of other people without affecting free will. We are not as gods and we do not have this right. We must be patient and understanding, even with those of whom we do not agree ( ... )

[Christine is a little irritated that Zelda presumes to lecture her about trying to understand Erol's position. Of course she understands it! She's known him for far longer than Zelda has, after all, and she is the one he trusts completely. Still, help is help, wherever it comes from.]

Thank you. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your help. I know I'm asking a lot of you, and I realise that we may not have the right to tell the Baron how to treat his subjects, but... when a man acts in such a way as he, it is surely not right.

[Zelda is thoughtful for only a moment. It's odd that she would be lending her aid. If it were not for such a worthy cause, chances are Zelda would never even take a step in that direction. Still, she considers her own position. If Jak were...

Yes. Zelda would do absolutely anything and everything.]

As I have said, I will do everything within my ability. Diplomacy does not work on all people, however, and therefore, I may not be successful.

[After all, Zelda needs to look out for her own hide. If it gets too dangerous, she'll have to pull back--perhaps not for her sake, but for the people who could likely get hurt because of her and possible foolish actions.]
