Hey! I'd like to do confession with Cecelia and I'd like to be somewhere you can't hear us. What's the range on your telepathy?

Uh, as far as I know I can hear everyone on this plane if I focus? I think I can't hear other planes but I don't actually remember whether I've made sure of that.

She focuses on seeing if she can read Zana from here.

She cannot.

Yep, just this plane. I... guess I could send you to my town for a bit? I don't know how long you need.

I would expect not more than an hour.

Okay. If I send you to the woods you won't have a translation effect anymore. I guess I could give you some magic items to deal with that.

That'd be good. Thank you.

Mhmm.

She tests if she can drop some scholar's rings in the grass where they are from where she is.

Works fine.

The rings do comprehend languages. - uh, a spell that lets you comprehend other languages. It won't let you speak in them but if you both have one that should be fine.

She picks up one of the rings and looks at it for a few seconds. She puts it on.

He puts his on as well.

Need anything else, or should I drop you in Moonlight Falls?

I don't think we need anything else.

She moves them from her demiplane to the woods near Moonlight falls. Not right by the fairy circle, though, that seems fraught.

Just a little. 

He sings them some nice pretty soft flowers.

She looks sort of awed and also still kind of fragile and does not ask out loud whether he's a saint because of course you can't really know until someone dies.

Her baby giggles.

"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned," she says eventually, being very quiet. "It has been... between twelve and fourteen years since my last confession."

"I'm glad you're here."

Nodnod. She looks at the flowers.

"I spent ten years sleeping with a man not my husband. A pagan, the emperor of much of the world. I bore him six children. Five of them live. The oldest two were taken away from me when they turned six, and I must not have instilled the love of God in them very well, because both of them are pagan now. 

"I think I hated him. The emperor. I know hate is as dire a sin as murder, but I think I would have wanted him dead if I could have found a way. He was a demon, I think, so I don't know whether that was wrong of me. 

"Almost a year ago, as I count time, I ran away. I didn't mean to at first; I was walking in the forest with some other people - I wasn't usually allowed outside the palace, but I was this time - and - I happened on a fairy. My son did, really, but I followed him, and there was a fairy in the woods, and - he told me that he could kidnap me and then try to get my children back from the emperor. And so - I went with him, and I was a fairy slave, and I slept in his bed, and I let him kiss me, and I went with him to his people, and I lived with them, and that was where I was when Elizabeth brought us to her domain. And - he didn't marry me but he gave up so much, to be with me, settled all of his debts with his family and gave up his name and left his court to stay with me in a place he hated, and - I'm afraid I wasn't nearly as grateful or as good as I should have been to him. But I'm not with him now anyway, this morning - something happened with a mindreader and he yelled at me to leave him and never come back. So I suppose I can't very well hurt him further.

"I'm sure there were other things but I'm not very sure what they were now."

"How did it come about that you slept with the emperor who you hated?"

"His armies took me at the end of a siege. No one had any reason to ransom me, so I stayed in his dungeons until I turned sixteen, and he made me one of his concubines."

"Okay. That's - not a sin. Sins have to be deliberate. That's an evil that somebody else did to you."

"Could've tried harder to stop him. Probably would've died for it, but."

"You do not have an obligation to risk your life stopping people from raping you."

"Okay."
