[after a frustrating conversation with Nova, Siegmund does some thinking on apologies and wrongs and righting them and all that jazz. See, this week is the period in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur where one is encouraged to think back on the previous year and do some serious introspection about the wrongs they have committed.]

[and he...really should not have lost his temper with Ashtaroth because she refused to resurrect Evelyn. He doesn't like her, but--as he told Nova--you don't have to like somebody to realize you need to apologize to them.]

I wasn't fair to you. I'm sorry.

but it can't hurt to ask. or, it could, but somehow she doesn't feel as though it would matter much if it did.

ahh, young people. ]


Still in the brewing business, I hope? I'm in need of some vitality potions.

[ the letter is signed Ashtaroth in her tidy but undeniably fancy copperplate hand ]

How much free time do you have this coming week?

I have a favor to ask.

[the letter from Ashtaroth is written in a hand wildly different from anything written by her before- the writing is flowing and cursive, but still small and orderly, making it nice to look at and easy to read all at once]

Tell me.

Is all that talk of players true?

And is it true of me?
