In reply to: Adwen 's message, "Adwen, not even looking away from the book, protests. "But in some cases the single person forging on ahead is necessary. Every army needs someone to lead them into battle, otherwise the battle would never happen. Such a courageous act as riding forth alone could stir the rest into following. It isn't always so foolish."" on 17:35:46 08/17/04 Tue

Rustam enters in time to hear the last of Henry's remark. "What, debating again?" he asks, seeming in much better spirits. Sitting next to Lily, he winks at her and says, "They always do this. It's very entertaining at times; it's hardly as much of a chess game as it is a series of debates." (NT) -- Rustam, 17:39:19 08/17/04 Tue
- "And what's wrong with that?" Adwen asks coldly. Rustam shakes his head. "Nothing," he says, "but Mum /did/ want to speak with you a moment, Addy. She's in the kitchen." Adwen sighs in response and puts down the book, mumbling something under her breath as she exits to the kitchen. (NT) -- Adwen/Rustam, 17:41:50 08/17/04 Tue
