[ backtags this audience and makes you hate me forever ♥ ]

I did! We did. They were very excited when we mentioned You, actually! It was quite charming.
Sir Elderest Corgius is a fine host. Do you find companionship with them often, Your Radiance?

And thank You - that is a valid point indeed. It is much appreciated, truly.
We'll keep doing the best that we can to support You as well, so if there is anything at all, we will be listening.
Oh, if I go back, I cannot wait to tell Samantha of this. She will be simply over the moon.

They love You very much! Gamaliel loves them very much too, it is quite charming... I've learned much from spending time in all of their presence.
The dogs and the Angels alike.

You are most welcome - it is the very least that I can do.
Though... by my journey - the journey I have taken to this point here, with the end goal of redemption? Of my life? Or both?

...It is, yes.
Truthfully...I feel quite selfish in considering that I could potentially not return.
I fear desperately for what will become of Iria - time has continued to march on as I have spent my time here, and I'm afraid to see what the Bishop has done in - well. Perhaps I ought not speak of that to You, necessarily...

At any rate.
I love my people very dearly: I do not want harm to come to them. They have suffered everlong under the thumb of the Papal States.
I do not wish to be like my late mother and father were. I do not want for power or money, or any of it. But, if I must take any kind of power to help Iria, then... I would.
Yet, if I return - what will I be able to do, from her cage?
Will it make Iria better? Princess Innana - does she even still live?
And even more selfishly... I have come to cherish my freedom. And the people here want me to seek it, too.
I do not know what is better, what is worse. What is for myself, and what is for my country.
What the Light of Sanctuary would call redemption, and what I might.

...I suppose that is the reflection that I am the most occupied with, in the twilight of this experience. To me, it feels like a journey... far more of one than my life was to this point.
