Re: Daniel/Louis
Oh, so you don't care about those poor wretches in the Capital either? You're a colder fish than I thought. I applaud you.
And I do not know how you imagined showing me the door and rebuffing my attempts to draw your selfish relatives into helping you might be interpreted. You have no idea what it cost me to be so angry with Sam and that fool in love with her, because they see nothing that is not in front of their faces. She wants us to find that trust again, as if I can forget she would assume I would throw you on the pyre the moment the opportunity presented. Maybe I will, come to that. Be what you are believed to be. Much easier. Take the thing's advice and go be worshiped somewhere. Let Sam assume the worst.
And of course it was no trouble for me to stop by for tea. You know how much I enjoy a stroll.
Isolation would hardly fix the problem. Give the thing free rein, by all means. That has worked so well so far.
You fucking people. I should never have wasted my time walking out the door.
