[Voice/Action to those nearby] All Apologies

I am sorry.

[That simple heartfelt statement of grief and regret -- absolute, sincere regret that she has no reason to believe will be accepted by anyone -- is all Celestia has the strength for. Having spoken the words, she lowers her head back to her forelegs.]

[She has neither moved from this spot on the deck, nor eaten anything, nor slept, since she was dragged out of the collapsing fortress after doing her very best to murder everypony.]

You are forgiven.

[A simple, serious response.]

Now do your best for your crew, and if they are at all understanding of the situation everything should work out.

Have they since been revived?

If she lives, she has no room to complain. Outside of this place, most don't get a second opportunity.

You were under someone else's control. The fault is not yours.

I know. I was under her control for a time as well.

The fact remains that we were still influenced into believing these things and would not have acted that way under normal circumstances.

[There is a long pause.]

Equestria. I assume this is your homeland.

I know of this sort of decision. It is not easy.

[He had to make it himself, and he had to kill his own clan in the end.]

But I think you would have exhausted more angles first if possible.

If you know that's what you would have done, then you would have done it.

The witch twisted our minds to have us act in ways we otherwise would not.

If you choose to believe that, then so be it.

Use this opportunity to make up for that choice, then. Most don't get that chance.

[He's the last one that needs to be told that, and he sighs.]

Then you should do so with determination.
forthevillage: (under this gaze)

Perhaps you should start with speaking to those you wronged.

I can give you names if you want them, but I don't suspect many will hold a grudge. I attacked the same group myself.

I spoke more of the one you killed.
forthevillage: (brought this upon myself)

No, they do not.

In any case, I wish you well with any backlash you receive.
forthevillage: (contemplation)

The sentiment is returned. I'm sure some day we will meet under better circumstances.
