He'd been spending quite a bit of time along the southeastern banks of the river running outside the village, staying outdoors to avoid the all-encompassing yet entirely oppressive forgiveness that awaited him at home. He would make amends and pay his dues in time, but for now, there was still the matter of coping with what was within him that the experiment had tapped to affect his actions.

But at the moment, Cecil's brain was awhirl with the reddened eyes and faint sniffles of Rydia's sadness. Anything to indulge her, even if it didn't make complete sense to him at the moment.] I understand. My apologies for acting so selfishly. Do as you will.

Date: 2009-07-05 06:34 pm (UTC)I told you, spirit magic. I'm all right, really. It's more that I haven't slept well the past few days than anything else. You will consider what I've said?
