Oh my!

So that means some rather evil editing on your part, I'm afraid.

Editing Aedre out from the Speech-post as such (meaning: not attending) is easy and no big task. And I will do it immediately after this.

But when you say I have some "evil editing" to do, I'm afraid you mean something more... and only cross my fingers in hope it is not what I'm afraid of.

So have you been writing with the idea that Athanar doesn't even know what had happened? I thought we had the version where Wynflaed would pass a word on that from the door or they could exchange a few words before the banquet... I mean that was what we were talking about?

*really hopes is wrong with this speculation*

If Athanar doesn't know the situation at all, I will indeed need some "evil editing" to do as I need to basically rewrite the whole post. And that changes the whole situation as the reactions of the people would be so much different towards a totally different person...

The whole heatedness and firmness of his speech is coming from his rage on what had happened to his daughter... being there a few hours and his daughter gets beaten up by some local ruffians! Even if it doesn't show so openly (he is no beginner in leading people while in distress himself), he is furious while he makes the speech! He just holds himself back with an effort and tries be decent as he has a mission from the king... Lord Athanar would not have given that kind of speech if he felt his family and himself were secure. He would have been very different indeed, more polite, honey-tongued, the whole approach... (the basic decisions would have been the same though, but the way he makes them would have changed a lot)

Well, I'm not going to re-write the whole post now as I'm not sure which one you mean and I need to go to sleep. And I do hope you were only meaning the first one eg. Aedre just not being present - or that it could be changed with a sentence or two if it was not. Otheriwise it is evil indeed...

What say you?

The collab post is almost almost almost ready.

Looking forwards to it! Just send it here in the discussion thread and I (or Pio) will then put it into the "save".
