[08-06 16:46:30] <Viollca> on your tent one night:

[08-06 16:46:36] <Viollca> "Father?"

[08-06 16:46:55] * Aldo__Murgen looks up. "Aye?"

[08-06 16:47:36] <Viollca> "I, is it.. ok if I come in?

[08-06 16:47:53] <Aldo__Murgen> "Aye, o' course."

[08-06 16:48:23] * Viollca steps into the tent, swallows, looking down

[08-06 16:48:49] <Aldo__Murgen> "Is something wrong?"

[08-06 16:49:03] <Viollca> "Dinner will be ready in about an hour, I have to cut the rations for the stew."

[08-06 16:49:30] <Viollca> "I, Reverend, in the prison, I,"

[08-06 16:49:55] <Viollca> "Will Ashariel forgive me?"

[08-06 16:50:08] * Viollca looks up, her eyes are watery

[08-06 16:50:27] * Aldo__Murgen grins curiously. "Most likely. Would ye like tae tell me?"

[08-06 16:50:57] <Viollca> "I think,"

[08-06 16:51:01] <Viollca> she pauses

[08-06 16:51:18] <Viollca> "...I destroyed a soul."

[08-06 16:51:36] * Viollca swallows hard, again.

[08-06 16:52:20] * Viollca blinks away a tear

[08-06 16:52:42] * Aldo__Murgen raises an eyebrow. "How?"

[08-06 16:53:43] <Viollca> "When the Wr-- Wraiths were attacking, *sniff*, there was an elf, and I used,"

[08-06 16:53:46] <Viollca> "NO."

[08-06 16:54:11] <Viollca> "I took him. That's what that flash of light was."

[08-06 16:54:34] * Viollca begins to cry

[08-06 16:54:55] <Viollca> "Th-th-then, he was just, Gone!"

[08-06 16:56:49] * Viollca continues to cry

[08-06 16:57:50] * Aldo__Murgen puts a broad hand on her shoulder. He looks sympathetic, but it's clear he doesn't understand. "Violet, I know ye dinnae kill anyone, but if ye touched a soul, I need tae know how ye did it."

[08-06 16:58:52] * Viollca cries harder. "It's easy for me. I'm a monster."

[08-06 17:00:20] <Viollca> "I wrap myself around them like a fist and squeeze out their life!" she hits her knees when she says that

[08-06 17:02:53] * Aldo__Murgen strokes his beard with his other hand. "Hmm. Would ye be upset if I looked at yer soul?"

[08-06 17:04:21] * Viollca stops crying briefly, and stiffens. She sniffs. "No. And if you see me there, and don't want to have anything to do with me, I'll understand. I'm, "

[08-06 17:04:30] <Viollca> "sorry."

[08-06 17:04:50] <Viollca> (and I'm tearing up)

[08-06 17:04:58] * Aldo__Murgen prays softly in dwarvish.

[08-06 17:07:40] * Aldo__Murgen falls silent and gives her a hard look. After a moment he softens. "Hmm."

[08-06 17:08:20] * Viollca sobs at the hard look,

[08-06 17:08:24] <Aldo__Murgen> "The Silver Mother will nae grant me the sight."

[08-06 17:09:03] <Viollca> she was getting ready to leave, she stops and looks downcast at the floor of your tent

[08-06 17:09:38] <Viollca> weakly "...does that mean she's abandoned me?"

[08-06 17:11:14] <Aldo__Murgen> "Nae. I dinnae know what it means. I know that the followers of undeath have tainted souls."

[08-06 17:12:28] <Viollca> "I'd, never done that before, I,"

[08-06 17:12:41] <Viollca> "Reverend, will you tell her that I'm sorry?"

[08-06 17:13:23] <Aldo__Murgen> "Aye." He winks. "And I'll put in a good word for ye."

[08-06 17:14:09] * Viollca gives a smile that looks like it could turn into another cry, and leaves the tent
