[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.

My dear lady,

Such an open and heart felt apology is all I could ask for. Honestly, I had forgotten about our little misunderstanding. If I had not been so...frustrated with the child the Captain had given men, I assure you I would have been more understanding, and for that I owe you an apology.

I accept your apology, and you need not think another thing of it.

oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 20:46:17 UTC

You honor me with your words, Sir.

So many were caught up in the aggravations and irritations of the children. I could not blame a single person for any reactions. You must be relieved that we have been... liberated of them.

Thank you, Sir Praxis. I appreciate your consideration.

oh Mar, what a ham. praxipads July 22 2009, 20:49:49 UTC

Think nothing of it.

The children...If I may, it...reminded me very much of raising my own daughter, Ashelin. When she was a child, I had far more help. Even when her mother passed...

The experience brought back many a memory, and not all of them pleasant.

You have no idea how much this made me laugh. oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 20:52:57 UTC

You have a daughter...? Oh... I suppose it would have struck you much harder than it would have me. I have never had a child, nor have I any siblings to have taken under my wing. I suppose in such respects, I am a bit... lacking in the field of experience.

For your sake then, may we never have a similar experience... Do you miss your daughter? I imagine it would be difficult to be parted from flesh and blood of such a nature.

*Wordy little thing, isn't she.*

Of course.

When would suit you?

Whenever is of convenience for you, of course.

Well, I'm free now if you are.

Locked to Erol // 70% unhackable - It sounds good to meeee. Stop getting in trouble, Erol. xD oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 21:50:37 UTC

I am very much unoccupied. I have finished what I had meant to do.

[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.]

[Text // Locked to Christine // 85% Hackable] ♥! It's okay~ oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 21:06:41 UTC

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.

[Text // Locked to Zelda // 85% Hackable] chorusangel July 22 2009, 21:41:19 UTC

[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 ( ... )

[Text // Locked to Christine // 85% Hackable] oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 21:52:36 UTC

[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 ( ... )

The frog?

oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 23:27:24 UTC

Ah, yes. It was... something he and I acquired a few days ago.

nantokanare July 22 2009, 23:31:40 UTC

What kind of frog is it?

[Come on, let it be another gold one. If she was wondering what to do with a normal one she wasn't very creative.]

oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 23:35:39 UTC

It is... a golden frog. Not that I have ever seen one before this one. Any idea what it is for?

[He can't see it, but she nods.]

Yes, brother. It was something Sir Reiner and I acquired.

pimp_hat July 22 2009, 23:34:22 UTC

Oh, alright den.

Joo be busy Princess? Got sometin' fuh ja.

oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 23:36:56 UTC

[Why did he sound so worried? Maybe she doesn't want to know.]

Something for me...? You... do not need to get me things...

[She sounds touched, though.]
