[nottheproblem]

It begins.
The path will be difficult, but the victory at the end worth it.

Even for a man I won't care to see.

[tacohat]

I'm afraid I cannot promise that I will keep my distance the first time I see you.

[nottheproblem]

I'd ask no promises to be made by a man not worthy of trust to uphold them.

[tacohat]

Then I will not ask for your trust. Only a moment of your time to ascertain that you are the same woman whom I am certain had died decades ago.

Please, once the shock is abated, I promise you will not have to see me again.

[nottheproblem]

And who do you think I am.

[Short and sweet. Because she is... undoubtedly sure she knows who he is.]

I am as flesh and blood as you.

[tacohat]

[He has to pinch his brow and sigh heavily before having to explain THIS...]

I thought I saw you once, not very long ago. But it was... someone else. It was a trick.

So now I will need a little confirmation. Surely that is understandable.

[nottheproblem]

[This is going to be very reluctant on her part, but doable all the same. She sighs.]

If you must.

[A moment's consideration.]

Yet you remain.

[tacohat]

Are you going to tell me to go?

[henpecked]

Haah? So where is that path going?

[nottheproblem]

To reunite inevitable past and present.

[henpecked]

... Won't that happen anyway?

[nottheproblem]

Perhaps.
I don't know for certain. I expect it.

[henpecked]

You expect... The inevitable.

[nottheproblem]

I expect the inevitable. Why does that need explanation? It shouldn't.

[lifescratched]

What victory, Mother? [Spoken not in English, but Kanien'kéha.] What is it you seek to accomplish?

[nottheproblem]

[She responds in kind.]

Justice. Closure. [A pause.] Deserved endings.

[lifescratched]

Justice for what? I do not understand.

[nottheproblem]

For myself, Ratonhnhaké:ton. For you. For us. Is that difficult to see?

[lifescratched]

[That gets a troubled frown from him.]

No, Mother. Still... [What would Achilles say?] I am not sure what you intend, but do not take unnecessary risks.

[nottheproblem]

Unnecessary risks.

[He's worrying about her.]

I wouldn't. Some things are worth the risk. [Like him. He was worth the risk.]

wow I am too late here/ also native tongue

[mohawk_tomahawk]

What sort of "path" do you speak of, Mother?

you are never too late

[nottheproblem]

The path I walk and the path my feet stand upon. It's the direction I will myself to go.

[mohawk_tomahawk]

I do not understand.

[Visibly so.]

Where your "path" leads you to could be dangerous.

[nottheproblem]

And many of yours have been dangerous, haven't they. Why should it be so different?

[mohawk_tomahawk]

Because...I had lost you already once. I do not want you to be harmed again.

[A frown.]

I understood the dangers of what I was doing. I took that chance to do what I believed what had to be done.

...What is it even what you wish to do?

[nottheproblem]

Do you think that the dangers I put myself into I wasn't aware of? We are both the same and different, as is our strength.

[She eyes him, allows him to sit on that, because she knows he wouldn't.]

I wish to finish a book, that I might sooner rest my thoughts.
