Sorry about the total lack of posts on my part.  There was some serious family-stuff that came up and we had to deal with that, hence my more-than-week-long-absence.  I want to get back into things, now.<br/><br/>I did have a thought, though.  Given Gard's current situation, why don't we do a bit of a time-skip?  Something that would allow us to move into something a bit more fresh, say that Rein is simply absent on an errand or recovering from a fight, perhaps until Gard has the opportunity to rejoin?  We could perhaps get back to his alpha-for-a-day scene later once he's all set up at home.  What do you all think?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=273663.msg13611954#msg13611954">Quote from: jeflint on 19-10-2017, 01:21:44</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">A-alpha?
