[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8956695, member: 2012"] [B]Restart Begins Here![/B] [HR][/HR] The evening at Aceron Manor becomes more subdued as the evening progresses. With Nathaniel surprising choice to go back to Bluffside and face justice for his crimes, the mood becomes somber. His mother, Lady Talithia, remains upset for several hours but she doesn't overreact to his decision to face the Tribunal. Still, Custodio insists that he remain outside the city, for now, to hopefully stay out of Phelix's reach. The other guests turn to sharing stories about their homelands and highborn gossip.
