Location: Abendblume<br/>
Addressing: Alvaro <a class="username" data-user-id="288" data-username="Flannel King" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/288/">Flannel King</a>​</div><br/>"I can't argue that. A good woman would do Roman good. Raymond, too, now that we're on the topic. Perhaps a proper woman would mellow him and sooth his frustrations." Much the way Liliana had for him. "I would like to see them all the picture of happy families eventually. How could Ray expect to move forward with that sort of life and shoulder the weight of Abendblume? I want them to have the sort of love that I experienced with Lily. This world poses challenges in that, but this community should be a safe place for them to do so." That was Hale's goal, after all.<br/><br/>"I won't keep you too late. Come to me should you run into any issues," he said, wrapping things up. He appreciated Alvaro's insight and hadn't realized he'd insulted the man. "I trust you'll have it well in hand with time. Thank you. You're an asset to the family, and if you and Ray go out hunting or cleaning up necros, perhaps suggest he think on his future and potentially settling down with someone." He knew that was a bit of a pastime of theirs, and how Ray had honed his skills.<br/><br/>The past two days had been long and trying. With the new order of things, he felt at peace enough to get to sleep at a decent hour. The morning would bring more meetings and trials, he was sure, but with rest he'd be prepared to face it all.
