Who uses river fords anymore?

"I don't in public, generally." She agrees.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 2:53 pm

"You have an image to maintain, after all."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 3:01 pm

"Do you think I'm striking the wrong balance?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 3:26 pm

"Now THAT is very much NOT my place to say. You don't have to fit anyone's molds, or idea of what you should do."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 11:57 pm

"But you do seem to be a bit confused by how I compartmentalize."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 12:16 am

"I guess...confused might be the wrong word. I may have unfair expectations, which I am working to quell."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 1:29 pm

"So I'd wager you don't feel quite ready to voice those?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 1:55 pm

"Well, it's not fair. You're still, you know, getting a grip on all of that sort of things. You don't need needy people like me strapping expectations on to that, you know?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:58 pm

"If I didn't want your company or your opinions, you'd know it without a doubt."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:12 pm

"You'd probably turn me into a newt or something, aye.

You know how it is, though. I'm stumbling around blindly here, just like you. I mean, one of the reasons I set up that whole capture the flag thing..." he said, trailing off.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:16 pm

"...go on."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:48 pm

"Well, you know. I thought you'd, you know, enjoy it," he said, mostly to the ground and his feet, which were apparently VERY interesting.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 2:27 pm

"Well I'm sure everyone had an enjoyable time, aye?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:18 pm

"Your daughter didn't, which is why we had that fight."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 3:32 pm

"...ah. About that."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:56 pm

"In part, yes..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:34 pm

"I could see why she'd be rather sensitive about that."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 8:00 pm

"Aye. That's why I've been a little...scarce, recently."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:13 pm

"Anyway.

OK, I'll just be blunt and say it. DID you enjoy the capture the flag game, on any level?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 7:02 pm

"I thought it was wonderful for the students. I wouldn't object to more teamwork building games."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:46 pm

"Ah.

I was hoping your, erm, other side would enjoy the combat. I probably overstretched, didn't I?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 5:22 pm

"It's... an awkward subject, of late."

"Part of the discussion I had with Miranda was over whether I was her mum or the Morrigan."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 5:28 pm

"And 'both' wasn't an option?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 5:32 pm

"It wasn't the answer she needed to hear then."

"What I am scares her sometimes. Perhaps most of all because of what it might mean she is."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 5:56 pm

"That, in the end, is her decision.

Just like what you choose to be is yours."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:40 pm

"...aye. Perhaps I'm a bit afraid of losing her so soon after finding her."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:47 pm

"She's both a teenager and a toddler. That has to be the worst of both worlds."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:56 pm

"She's a great many paradoxes. Powerful and fragile all at once."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 10:30 pm

"See, you make that sound a lot deeper than I do," Will smiled, for the first time in a bit.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 10:55 pm

"She's my daughter, regardless. I remember what it's like to feel like that."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 1:25 am

Will was quiet for a moment.

"It must be...a bit frightening."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 2:35 am

"We've all felt as if our powers have us instead of the other way around, aye?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:12 am

"Oh, definitely. It's taken me a long time to come to grips with mine, and all I have to deal with are the voices in my own head"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 11:43 am

"And for just shy of a year, she's had to deal with that while deciding who she is."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 3:25 pm

"I'll....do my best to cut her some slack, then. Deciding who you are is very important."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 3:31 pm

"Though I understand you've had a houseguest in a similar situation."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:11 pm

"Two, in a way. I'm out of rooms in my apartment."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:00 pm

"I won't be sending Miranda for a sleepover, then."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:27 pm

"Not unless we do it at your place. I'm still thinking about getting one of those roll-out beds."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:32 pm

"None of these suites are exactly fit for a crowd."
