Well, I think it would be useful to forgive him but I can't forgive him something that he cannot set right and has not experienced any consequences for, it's not how that works for me. 

I see. I'm not sure how to productively address that. Sooner or later his alts will probably find out and be appalled but perhaps that isn't what you had in mind.

That won't help anything. 'everyone hates him' isn't a very constructive consequence, he's worse when everyone hates him. Being trapped and alone for a very long time is - related to the actual problem - and then there's no complications about getting back to his life. 

Is it to get him to empathize better with what you went through...?

- it's - he says he really wants to make it right, and I don't quite believe him about that, and then I would. And one of the laws in our kingdom is that if someone is convicted of a crime and serves their sentence then you don't get to raise it with them. You can of course still not want to interact with them on that basis, but you can't not hire them and you can't bring it up. I think it's good for everybody, that that's the law. It means there's a point where you can say - enough, I did a wrong thing but it should not be held against me for all eternity. I guess if people were virtuous enough that point could be 'the instant it is established they won't do it again, by any means including external magic', but that's not - psychologically realistic - I think it is fair to ask people that there be a point at which it's like it didn't happen, I don't think it ought to be instantly...

So you want to sentence him to something.

I don't have that power. But I think he'd agree.

Nod.

Since you asked what I wanted.

I did, yes.

Singing.

Singing.

He is not supposed to meet Cir because Cir prefers not to be around small children who might forget they can't touch redmages. This makes sense but it means there is someone around he shouldn't meet and that's weird. Hi! he sends Cir, because that isn't touching.

...hi?

I'm Mingling, the small Maitimo. I'm telepathic. I wanted to meet you but I'm not supposed to go near you so I'm doing this. Nice to meet you!

Oh, hi, I'm Cir. Yeah, it'd be bad if anybody touched me so I'm being careful about, uh, kids.

Bright said. I won't come near, promise. But I like knowing who everybody is. Do you like it here?

It's really interesting, yeah!

What's the place you're from like?

It has a lot of mages and mage attendants in it and it's up on a hill.

Why did you come here?

I didn't want to work for lots of different people.

My alt is very proud of you but also worried.

I know. He'll get less worried.

What is loving a person like?
