"Forgiveness?"

That earns you a small laugh, sad yet amused.

"What gave you that idea? Never did I ask for such a thing, my dear child. Only that you could accept me one day, mend the Bond we once share or make one anew. I shall not shirk or sulk from my Wrongs, Rights, Actions - they are mine own, earnt true and due. Proud, ashamed, abashed, poignant, and more - I Cherish What I've Done, and Regret Seldom Of It."

...There's the fae that has been absent of her, knowingly self-deprecating and Resolute it may be.

"...I ask of you not for forgiven, nor absolution and nay repentance, but...peace, harmony, acceptance. The chance to one day have you call me sincerely family. The Past is history - what happened is Done. The Present is ever in flux. The Future....that is what we can determine and divine what we Desire and Wish, make our Change and Choice real. *Wane Smile* Something we're both all too familiar, I do suspect and believe."

There is a moment of silence shared between you, before Morgana raised her hand in the air.

"...Try my best, to Become a Better Lady you may oh may accept in good grace one day, my dear child. Whether or not that shall bear fruit, something doth Change in you to stem our differences, or it wither on the vine....that is up to us to Determine, yes and no?"

"Remember this, Hold Close: Morgana Belladonna Le Fey will always accept and care for you. If ever you need a Favor, say My Name. There I will be. Sun, Sand, Snow, Sluice. Nature and Commune. Ideal, Will, and Truth."

"Farewelcomes, good bydings, Seddi. May Fortune Ever Be In Your Favor."

*Snap*

You are seated in the meeting room, reclining in a chair and you stared at the empty space across you.

Empty, save for a crystaline looking flower place in front of you.

Moderate Encounter Over: Sedd gains a flat + 5 XP, and can choice to increase on of the following Specialties: Empathy, Nature, or S.T. . ??? Flower Offered.

Seddi sighs and tsks to himself as Morgana returns him to whence he came.  She may not be asking for forgiveness, but that's exactly the problem.

Ah well.  Seddi will carefully pocket the flower.  He'll have Leaves analyze it tomorrow.  There'll be time to worry about that fae later.  Right now, he has two important messages to send, as well as a few others to check.  He needs to check in with Dodger and Oz too, but that can wait for a moment.

The first message goes to Bernhard (@PhantomUnderYourDesk).  As per requested, Seddi is not hesitating to keep the mage updated on the situation.

---------
First off, apologies if I'm interruptin' anythin', but things just got stranger.  I was half right.  The WH did come up in that chat.  A certain fae is involving herself now, though.  I need to talk to you privately 'bout this whenever it's convenient for the both of us.
---------

The second message would go to Sylvia, trying to reschedule that meeting they were talking about the other day.  The Espeon won't exactly be able to meet Leaves today, given the state the Paradox Pokemon is in right now.

...however, if Seddi can't get through to Sylvia, that's going to start worrying him, and he's going to send a message to Randy to try and figure out if something's going on with the Espeon.  If anyone should be able to get in touch with her, it should be her interpreter.

The other messages Seddi has received in the meantime get brief responses.

I'll text the party and give them first right to trade me for the Choice Specs.

Don't really have too much use for Choice Specs myself, given my affinity for physical attackers, so I think I'll pass.  If you're gonna barter with them though, make absolutely sure you're gettin' a fair deal.  Especially if you're goin' to be travelin 'round these parts.  Items that powerful definitely allow ya to punch well above your weight, and those kinds of tricks are exactly the kind that ya need to survive in these kinds of conditions.

On the way to his first errand he'd send Seddi a crucial text:

''I may have stumbled onto something with as much if not more ramifications then the BIO-Fang, do let me know if you have some time to take a look anytime soon.''

Vaultin' Veluza, what'd you catch this time?!  I'm a lil' tied up right now, but I'll get back to ya.  Maybe I can meet ya later tonight.  We'll see.
