I will not hide my identity nor pretend these words are not attached to me. There were men who thought I committed many wrongs before I came here. One man held me accountable and spared me nothing besides a lingering death, which leads me to my question: in your estimation, are there any crimes that are unforgivable?

What a common man or woman cannot - should not - do, a king or a queen can do for the good of their people, correct? Great sacrifices are expected in battle - in war - however do you think that a ruler's life should be forfeit for them? What good can they do if they are slain prematurely?

I can admit when I am wrong, but on this...

I don't understand.

That sounds nice. Maybe I should have sought a simpler life too.

I thought I was made for castles, but in truth, I always dreamed of a much smaller house. As a commoner, I could have been safe.

Do you worry about your safety?

I don't see what you can't have a simpler life here. There is still so much for you to see and try too.

I worry about the safety of others. Always have. Not that I don't care what happens to me, but the people that I care about are always more important than my well being.

I hope you find everything you're searching for and more. I'm not sure what awaits me or what I deserve, but I'm alive and that matters to me.

You deserve a fresh start. And I think that is exactly what you are getting here. And whatever else awaits you here, you won't face it alone. I know I'll still be by your side. I don't abandon friends.

I'm not worthy of your friendship. I should have told you before we -

But even writing those words makes me sick.

I think that you are, even if you don't believe it yourself. Hopefully n time, you will start to believe it yourself.

For the time being, I want to be a good friend; I want to help people. How I feel about myself is secondary.

Well, does my good friend still want to go with me to the Great Moon Grove sometime?

text

[decisiveconquest]

...yes, I would like to if you are willing?

Of course. You only need to pick a day and time and we will go.
