Message: <blockquote data-quote="ajanders" data-source="post: 3212243" data-attributes="member: 3271">[sblock](If possible, Michael would have asked permission to clean up before seeing the lieutenant: at least to get a quick face-wash.  It would be nice if he could borrow a razor to shave, but this seems especially unlikely)Michael settles comfortably onto the floor in a lotus position, which looks very odd in armor.  He notes the lieutenant's chair without having feelings about it one way or another.(Certain aspects of Michael's education were especially asectic, even by Selan standards:waiting in the cold is standard practice and sitting on the ground not especially lowering to him.)"You could have me hung for banditry, sir, and I am deeply sorry and ashamed for it."Deep breath."My name is Michael Grannion.  I am a priest of Sela, and I did not come here to play the bandit.  I heard there was trouble in Duvik: I heard there were demons in the town; I heard there were undead haunting the town; I heard there was a plague in the town; I heard Fallon had invaded the town.I saw nothing, so I waited to learn more. I wished to speak with Corporal Moar and his men, not to fight them.  My companions felt they were a threat and attacked them in spite of my efforts to prevent it. We were wrong to do so.I did not come here to do wrong: having done so accidentally, I wish to make it right.  I have returned your men to you, where they should be.  I have healed their wounds as best I can today, and hope to finish the job tomorrow.  If I can, I will also replace or return their weapons.  I suspect they will have to be replaced, as my companions have likely taken them in their flight."Another deep breath."I am deeply sorry for the harm I have done to Corporal Moar and his men.  After I have made the wrong right, I hope to be able to ask them to forgive me for their harms.I would hope not to be hung, but I would understand, I suppose, if you felt that was necessary."Michael's tone conveys a deep lack of enthusiasm for being hung.It may be his duty to hang me, and it may be my duty to forgive him for doing his duty, but I may have to disaccommodate him in his duty.[/sblock]</blockquote>
