You had made a request of me, before, to compel you. I was not able to in the prisons, with my abilities blocked.

Would you have me do it now?

[vermax]

Would you? If I still wished it?

You can refuse me this. It is your right and what you were forced to do that night is no longer the only terror that haunts my dreams.

[preborns]

It is as easy as breathing, to me. I would've offered it in the jail cell, were I able.

Perhaps it will serve as some manner of atonement, for me. Perhaps I would be able to visit the lake again, without pain.

[vermax]

You said as much, Lady Alia.

You need not atone for something you did not intend. If you have no memory for the act or say in your victim. But perhaps it will ease the sight of the water for us both. I would like to be able to swim, as well, when the lake thaws in the warmer months.

[preborns]

Intent does not matter, if the end is death and misery. Your kindness is


Unexpected. But if this settles your restless ghosts, it will be done. When and where?

[vermax]

I cannot fault you for what you could not control. And now I breathe and live.

Come to my rooms?

[preborns]

You do. I will prove it to myself, though, if you please.

Now?
