That's a beautiful post, Nuru. Just two minor things: (1) I thought Leafa's mother was dead. Am I wrong? (2) I'd like to insert just a brief answer from Ędegard toward the end of your post:
"I cannot speak," she said. "Words cannot suffice to tell all that is in my heart. I fear that I can make no passionate speeches fit for this time. I try to speak, but nothing will come." The merry flickering faded suddenly from her eyes, and was replaced with a tender and sorrowful earnestness. But Ędegard smiled gently.
"I need no great speeches, Leafa, my heart. Your eyes say all I need."
She smiled then. "Farewell, dear Ędegard. Return to me soon. I will wait for you."
Okay for me to do that, Nuru?
