Is there a physician I may consult? Preferably at the earliest convenience.

[ And this is why explaining Emily is awkward. But it's nothing he hasn't heard before. ]

She is her mother's daughter. That is all that matters. I am sworn to serve.

[legionare]

And who is her mother?

[vindictam]

Empress Jessamine Kaldwin. I cam into her service when we were both young. [ As if it somehow explained anything. There was no husband or father to speak of, apparently. ]

[legionare]

[ so, max is gonna go on believing he's the father, then. ]

And her daughter is who you care for most in the world.

erggg typooos sorry

[vindictam]

[ Nooooo just because she draws pictures of him with Daddy written above it... ]

She is my duty. [ He's not even sure he sure he should be admitting it. Too easy for her to be used against him, too easy for him to be used against her. But nor would he be able to hide it if she ever arrived. ]

i didn't even notice?

[legionare]

That doesn't exclude affection.

excellent fdkfjd my fingers and brain don't like to talk to each other that often apparently...

[vindictam]

Nor should it, when anyone is so young.

[ He can't let it be too open, not on the network where anyone might see. ]

i can relate o/

[legionare]

How old is she?

stare at things months later and see everything you did wrong...

[vindictam]

10 years old, by our calendar.

i do that too cries

[legionare]

By your calendar?

I always just want to go find the person and apologies profusely

[vindictam]

Ours is different to the one I have seen here. We have thirteen months, and they are named differently.

i just cry quietly TT

[legionare]

Do tell.

pretend it never happen

[vindictam]

Truly?

The year begins with the week of the Fugue Feast, sanctioned chaos is its best description. Then the month of earth, of seeds, of nets, of rain, of winds, of darkness, of high cold, of ice, of hearths, of harvest, of timber, of clans and the month of songs.

precisely

[legionare]

That's very — descriptive.

/flies into the sun with all my typos

[vindictam]

I suppose they are. I've never put much thought into it, until I came here.

[legionare]

I never questioned that furycrafting is normal before I arrived here.

[vindictam]

It is so normal in your home?

[ He was not, in that way. He knew he wasn't normal in that way anymore. ]

[legionare]

Everyone has it to some degree.

[ everyone but tavi, that is, but max isn't mentioning that. ]

[vindictam]

[ Well that explains a few things. ]

Some have powers greater than others?

[legionare]

Yes. And some can only do one form of furycrafting.

[vindictam]

What do you mean, by 'one type'?

[ He knew little of the others who had powers in his own world, other than the abilities manifested as best to the person. Or to their wants and needs, though he was not sure. ]

[legionare]

There are different types. Watercrafting, earthcrafting, windcrafting, firecrafting, metalcrafting —

[vindictam]

And you are proficient with more than one of them?

[ At least from what he had gathered. ]

[legionare]

All of them. [ that's — cockiness right there, but well-deserved cockiness. ]

[vindictam]

[ Perhaps it's well deserved, and he doesn't doubt it is.

But that was a cocky young man's tone, and he'd trained men much too much like that. Joined an Empress's guard and thought they were the best they could ever be. It bemused him a little. Sitting on his air ]

I am sure your father is very proud.
