[ An apology given because one is bid to do so is worthless.

She doesn't say that. To him. She muses it out loud, to Morgan and herself. (Alerting him to the nature of the texts.) (That Enri told Darius to apologize, and so Darius is apologizing. For something he said.) (Darius. Is apologizing.)

What is not worthless: that the apology is not to her, specifically. It's a gesture for the boy.

For the words spoken in front of his people? She hums doubtful.

Curious. But not her business.

Another point of curiosity: Enri told her this was only for a week. This...encounter.

(Fling.)

That is very interesting. (Darius has, she thinks, bitten off more than he can chew.) ]


Enri set you to offer apology to his [...] me. And you are obliging.

[...]

Presumably, I am expected to forgive. (Or is that beside the point, I wonder. My own participation is necessary, but not focal? I am an incidentally wounded party?)

Very well. We'll speak our lines. As he wishes.
