[Past] Sins of the Father

Her words were tough to hear, but they had truth to them. He wasn’t typically a coward, but then the battlefield was one thing, facing up to a fiance was an entirely different matter. There was also a part of him that felt like telling her in a letter was, he wasn’t sure what it was to be honest, only that the whole affair was one giant mess that had become his life and every which way he turned he felt like he just didn’t have the answers.

It’s just hard to find the words, I’ve never been great at letter writing, and something this serious, but you’re right, it would be cruel. She wasn’t for me coming, but how could I not, at the very least I had to check on my mother and sister. In one fell swoop my father has basically shat on every good thing my family has ever done, ever could do, this will be how we’re remembered now. It was an insult to their ancestors, but what was done, was done, there was no undoing it, all Nathaniel could do was try and move on, try an make a life for himself amongst the grey wardens, even if it hadn’t been the life he’d planned. I guess the best I can do is start with an apology and end with well wishes for the future.
