"I'm not really good at these kinds of things. Regret is not something I have felt in a long time, In the event that we finally found a way to kill your stubborn ass... you're welcome?"
You know my weakness now, but perhaps you may know even more now. I have had moments to contemplate, whilst my mind was shackled down.
For now, I do not retain the strength to go out. I hear you were looking for me. I appreciate it.
But I apologise, for the sight may not have been pretty. Usually, when the mind combusts from psychic overload, it is not the most entertaining of sights.
I hope that Sh'ozak does not linger within your mind.
"All fun and games, until someone loses an eye... or a mind. It was mocking me..."
"I could have pushed Sh'ozak out.. though the scar left behind from the stress of holding it all back alone makes me wonder how bad severing the connection would have gone."
Oh my. I wonder what that was. Perhaps a Nomad trailed us in mockery.
Playing with the fires of fate was always fascinating to me. We could have been. We could have not. Yet, we did, we landed for the worst - though it could have been far more devastating given the circumstances.
... I don't think I'm entirely back. Yet. Something displaced.
"I do not find your situation amusing, I would have preferred it never happen."
"You said you were incapable of leaving, I had always assumed our interests remained mutual, I thought to provide some relief to the drab and dull withering."
"I told you of a time where I felt such weakness, the only company I had in such a miserable state were vultures seeking to feed on my corpse."
My apologies then. It is evident that more time to recover is necessary.
Perhaps sometime in the future we can speak again, before we ... deal with the threat up north.
Drab and dull, perhaps so. Such a bore to work with the clueless, sometimes.
A storm awaits us all, do you see the vigor of the Libertonia - (humorous name of the Bretonian-Liberty-Crayer coalition coined by some refugee ferry that I stole from the reports) - and their wrath that brews? Their desire to get back at us? They hunger so much, but... perhaps we could work together a little bit to ease their imperialism.
... I cannot help but think of deja vu, when I refer to the notion of your trade with the Outcasts being compromised.
"Liberty's presence within Cortez, and to a lesser degree Coronado adds a threat my people cannot ignore to our sustained way of life."
"Inverness serves as a buffer to their ambitions, as does Vespucci. I loathe the idea of sacrificing those loyal to me to keep the trade flowing."
"As for working together to cease that push, your kin have aided in our fight before, I do not see why such could not occur again. Prolonged conflict will be difficult to justify, even with the obvious threat to the cardamine trade. As you said, such a bore to work with the clueless."
You are right - this is no diplomatic channel, and it is true that our people have ... no solid foundations for trust, the only thing that matters here is that these "fleets" are disrupted, allowing the independent groups to do their bidding.
[There was almost a tone of cheeky amusement: ]
Do you share the concerns with Sh'ozak with how I work for Harbinger?
