he woke back up again, and half an app later...

[He's patient, as ever.]

So. You're going to try again, my lady.

I can't decide if what you're planning is more or less pleasant that the holy land, but I'm sure I can manage it. If there is work to be done then...

... Then I must do it, it seems.

You're right about not having a choice. But I hope it goes well for you.

It doesn't sit well with me that she thinks I will just go where she says and have nothing to say about it.

Except it really is that way. So I don't see the point in speaking against it when it will accomplish nothing.

[alwaystraveling]

That's true enough. Maybe it will be easier that way.

[riseaknight]

I hope so. Some battles are worth fighting. But some are sieges, and all you can do is plan for the long nights.

[alwaystraveling]

That's an interesting way to put it. So you're still fighting your mundane.

[riseaknight]

Aren't we always fighting our mundane? In one way or another?

[alwaystraveling]

I hadn't thought of that. Aside from the fact that she can order me about, she hasn't given me anything awful to experience. So far it's ...a benevolent sort of prison. I didn't see what fighting I could do that wouldn't make things worse.
