@Ghost_Bandito21 I'm sure an opportunity for that will present itself. Though, I distinctly remember you declining everyone's offer to join, the last time we were all together.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

.. Hm.
It's quiet this morning ... I suppose that gives me time to think.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@Ghost_Bandito21 It's not something I mind. I find it rather peaceful.

And, it allowed me to have a lovely conversation with someone.. unexpected.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES Then I will keep you in my prayers as well, even if I no longer pray to the Vials. May Trench spare you of any further grief, dear Bishop ...

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES .. If even a Bishop has to sacrifice what they hold dear for Dema to stand, I have to wonder how much happiness can truly be found there.

I sincerely hope then that I never have to see the city in flames. Not for this reason, at least.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES Others are simply not as observant then.

Whatever that reason may be, hold onto it tightly. Dema has a way of ripping what people cherish most from them.
.. I don't wish to see that happen to you as well.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES .. Thank you. I can only hope so as well.

You're far more kind than most would give you credit for, especially to a heretic.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES ... Yes.

My sole regret is that I had to leave him behind. I doubt he would have followed, but.. I still wish to see him outside the walls someday.
I think he could be happy out here. Truly happy.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES Then I can only hope no tragedy ever happens to him again. The one at sea was.. quite enough.

... I had someone like that, back in the city. Someone that gave me the will to keep surviving my days.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES With all I've seen? I believe he feels the exact same, and always shall.

We may be at odds, but I can only assume the role of a Bishop is.. a stressful one. I'm glad you have someone that makes such a title worth it.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES Even if that's not your intent, I'm sure he'd no doubt do it if you asked. I think he'd do anything you asked of him, in truth.
.. You're lucky, to have someone so loyal. But I'm sure you've already realized that, haven't you ?

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES I see this is something you're unwilling to budge on .. very well.

Still, it's a shame you can't experience it with me. It would be lovely to talk in person, if Trench permitted it.
.. Although, I suppose if you were out here, it would be to take me back behind the walls.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES .. I can only assume they wouldn't make for good conversation. I suppose I'll have to keep you company then.

Who's to say you can't? You needn't lie to me, if you truly prefer what's offered beyond the walls.
Even for a Bishop, there's no shame in thinking that way.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@GOT2FACES .. Ah. Bishop Nico. I'd.. assumed you would be against speaking to us, seeing as we directly oppose you.

Regardless, you're right... Yet, the silence out here is far more peaceful, compared to that of Dema's.

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

@Ghost_Bandito21 I'm relieved to hear that with how.. irritable you became. Has your headache subsided by now ?

[𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍. @STAINEDVALEMOR]

Good morning everyone. I slept rather peacefully last night. Hopefully the same can be said for everyone else, I'm still not sure what exactly was so upsetting ..

[ً @holyaches]

the tragedy of what could have been is nearly as crippling as what once was but can never be again.

[۟ @sidereumnoxe]

⠀i agree. i am everything they say i am. i also know that i am none of these things. that itself is a huge knot in my throat.
