Post the Sixth: The Mournful Memories

[mysilenceknot]

Well it appears as though the fires caused no lasting damage.

I suppose that is all for the best. Though the fact that we seem to have no fire department could be cause for concern. In normal circumstances I would most likely sugest forming a volunteer ...department of some type. However I doubt very much that would be successful here.

Why did it have to be fire?...

What did fire ever do to me?

[Congrats, there is now a harsh tone in his voice]

My dear sir, what has it not done?

It..it has claimed the lives of friends and family, including the woman I loved. It has brought about the destruction of countless buildings and homes of both myself and aquentinces. Destroying hundreds and thousands of books in the process And..it has started a series of unfortunate events for three children that are now on the run from a horrible, dispicable man who wishes to see them dead....

[He trails off. He could actually go on but he's run out of steam, and is about to cry]

That...that is what fire has done to me.

Oh.

*there's a pause*

It killed my parents and burned the hell out of me, but I still love it.

[There is a long pause...he is not brushing away a few tears.]

That is most remarkable.

...

You really think so?

In such circumstances most people would loathe fire.

The fact that you managed to put that behind you could be called remarkable.

...If you say so. Thanks...I think.
