Chapter 14. Fathers, be good to your daughters

Mar 23, 2010 12:55

Promise was my daughter.

She was here for months. My daughter was here, I spoke to her and had no idea who she was. No idea.

Now she's gone.

[There's a long pause.]

I really, really don't know how to feel about that.

[Expect her by to drop sometime later in the day, to keep him company. And possibly make him dinner, if he doesn't mind somewhat unoriginal, but good, food.]

[He'll appreciate it. ♥ Even if she can't resist a snicker at his octopus suit.]

[Oh poor man. Paladin doesn't even know what to say.]

I don't think anyone would fault you for whatever you felt--anger, grief, anything and everything in between.

Yeah. And... it's better to know, even though it hurts.

Just wish I'd had more time with her. Gotten to know her better. No use lamenting it now, though.

Yes, it's not always pleasent when you find out you were connected to someone and the Tree only took them away before you even had a chance to figure that out.

While it was not a daughter of mine, it was someone extremely close. We were essentially "connected" to each other though service, but before I could figure it out, he was gone before I knew it.

[There's some pen taps. Oh look, crazy knife-flinging butler knows his pain. How to react...?]

First time I've really hated not having my memories.

Only the first time? I admire that fact then. I've hated not having them, but after seeing what you saw, I don't want them.

I do offer my sincere apologies on the matter. Had it been my daughter, I would only assume that I would be feeling anger and pain. I'm not sure how I'd react to be honest. [Or what he'd try to do]

... can't really blame you there. Having no memories really hasn't bothered me all that much before now. Now I want to know a lot more.

[Pen taps.]

Well. I appreciate it.

...I'm sorry to hear that. This place can be so cruel.
