Nice start, Aylwen! Delete? Heck no! The "looks like mother" part was quite throat clenching. Change nothing!
I feel, friends, that not only did we have the holidays, but we've been putting ourselves through a very difficult piece of rpg-ing with writing through the death, mourning, and burial of a beloved character. Imladris, I imagine this has been especially difficult for you. Maybe it has been a slow process, but that may have been for the best. I congratulate you all on what you've been able to add to this during this busy season.
