I leave tomorrow morning and work has been manic this week, so sincere apologies if I don't have time to write a collab. However, nor do I want to be the one which drags back the RP; as such, if you like you can write in Cirindel's replies. I know this isn't as fun and defeats the point of an RP, but it allows you to keep things going and I'll pick it up again when I'm back.
As a rule, Cirindel would be pretty shocked at the interruption.
She would hold to the principle that defeating Janolf is actually critical to defeating the slavers, as a strong and legitimate anti-slavery government in Alcea would do far more to curb and suppress the slavers' activities than any amount of individual raids could do.
However, despite being principled she is open minded and thoughtful.
I'll leave that with you and pick up whatever action we take on my return.
Apologies again.
