[@Lady Amalthea][@Morose] I feel that assassination of Lord Rutherford would be too much. I was thinking more that if Virginia wanted to try to stop the marriage between Lord Rutherford and Millicent she could use the Talink's skills of intelligence gathering to basically find dirt on Lord Rutherford. That way they could have justifiable reasons against the marriage to post on the Banns. I will make sure I don't overstep my boundaries.

As far as forced ships, you don't need to worry about that occurring. I can dream all I want of what [I]future relationship[/I] between Thalken and Virginia could be like; however, staying true to my character, I know that any relationship will take a lot of time and effort for him. Thalken has a lot of baggage that he has to slowly overcome. I am totally up for the challenge of slowly developing my characters.
