Is something confusing you?

dictated;

[treeshepherd]

[A sigh.]

I have discovered the meaning of these losses.

dictated;

[lifeandpride]

[He hesitates.]

...The so called 'price' for entering this place, you mean? Or has something else come to light?

dictated;

[treeshepherd]

What it means for me, you understand.

dictated;

[lifeandpride]

I see.

[A sigh.]

I'm sorry.

What is?

Re: Dictated

[treeshepherd]

These losses.

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

Oh. Yes, they can be confusing, depending on the loss.

...So you've figured yours out?

Re: Dictated

[treeshepherd]

Hrrrm, I would say so.

[wizard_redfive]

I see. [Er, what are you supposed say to that? "I'm sorry" seems a bit presumuous.]

Would it be impolite of me to ask what it is?

[waterproofed]

What is it, Treebeard?

[treeshepherd]

I have made a discovery, you might say.

[waterproofed]

Oh, yeah? What kind of discovery?

[treeshepherd]

Of what this castle has taken from me.

[waterproofed]

That sucks. I don't know what I lost yet.

[ofhope]

[ Stalking...this... What about losses now? ]

[fourtythird]

And what would that be?

[treeshepherd]

The question of the loss.

[fourtythird]

That's rather specific, talking of the rather than a.

[treeshepherd]

Hrrm, perhaps.

[fourtythird]

More than perhaps. What do you know?

[withmymind]

Everything can be.

[treeshepherd]

[He responds with a rumbling laugh.]

True! Very true!

[withmymind]

Sometimes specific. Sometimes with meaning.

[treeshepherd]

Both true as well.
