FINAL TRIAL

TRIAL

After a very, very long six weeks, it has finally come. The last time everyone will need to trudge up those stairs and meet in the master suite. It's do or die time, and hopefully everyone knows what needs to be done by now.

As soon as the guests walk into the room, they will be able to smell the food that the chef has provided: duck l'orange, served up on a nice platter. Eat up everyone!

There are a few unexpected guests this time. A large group of the rats is here, and they show up in a swarm as they carry Gabe into the room, much like how they had carted him off to the Child Daycare last night. Once he is deposited in the room, Gabe will also stand up and remain there, crossing his arm and looking a bit standoffish.

They're not the only unexpected faces around here, though...

I get attached to people I probably shouldn't be, consider it a family trait. I'll say those words again and again to you, so get used to it.

[ but he watches gabe's gaze move across the room and he can hazard a guess at who gabe is looking at. he... offers a small wave to that spot. ]

But, I know they aren't a magic cure-all. I've seen and used magic. But they can still do so much good. You can't change anything if you don't make that first step. You need to crawl before you can walk, yeah?

Your cousin is here too, so I can see the resemblance.

[Your family is full of people with big hearts, Owain.]

It's not that simple, kid. What happened, it was an accident. I was acting with what I thought was legit information. It ended in disaster, but I didn't make the wrong call there. Apologizing when I made the best choice possible in that situation, even if that choice ended poorly, isn't a genuine apology.
