Okay...

My sincere and abject apologies for not doing anything with Nain... I accidentally fell off the face of the Earth for a couple of days (meaning I didn't get online), and now I'm finding myself with near-crippling stitches in my left hand, making (as I discovered last night, while blogging the tale of how that came to be) longish periods of typing rather painful. I honestly don't expect to be able to do a post in the next while, so it may be best to go on without me.

If the day remains unfinished, and I DO find myself willing to try and write anything longer than this post here, I'll do it with all haste, but my stitches are saying "no promises".

Oh Formy! May you heal fast and feel no pain...

PS, I'm back. For a bit.

Jenny, I'm a little concerned that you may have placed the character Marenil in an unenviable position. By the steward's refusals - be they ever so garrulous and kindly seeming - to obey his lord, he has undermined his lord's authority; and then walked away without so much as a 'your pardon, lord'. The lord in question thus found it necessary to choose between allowing his authority to be so undermined, or on the other hand, asserting it. He has chosen to assert it. Which puts Marenil in his unenviable position.

If you would like to revise your post so as to remove the need for such a choice, I'll be happy to revise mine. Just let me know.

Marenil has made no refusals to obey the Lord's demands. He has stated his opinion on the finances of Eodwine, and pointed out that there is far too much to do right away to make an immediate decision.

Also I am sick and don't really feel up to a reply...but I'll be out of town over the weekend. I don't see that I'll get a reply up before Tuesday at the earliest. If you go on, I'll ask Pio to edit something in.

Jenny, sorry you're ill. Whether or not Marenil intended his words to be taken the way Eodwine did, Eodwine took them that way. Let the story roll on, then, and we'll see how the plot unfolds.

********

Okay, it's time to move on to the new Day.

This break room computer doesn't allow me copy & paste, so I'll have to take care of placing Nogrod's and Lommie's posts later.

Sorry this has taken so long, friends.
