They've done this before? How intriguing.

[eldest_hatter]

Not quite the same, but similar.

[plantenough]

Ah, I see. It is a very useful tactic, forcing your opponents to tear themselves apart from the inside, so I don't I blame them for trying. And you say it didn't work the first time?

[eldest_hatter]

There are those who have struggles even more dangerous at home. There are also those who do not wish to loose the loved ones they found here.

Life is always a struggle, that's no excuse to give up! [Shifts awkwardly at the second bit. Sorry, Sophie, he likes you but he'd throw you to the milkman if it would save his own skin...]

[eldest_hatter]

[How kind of him...]

I agree. I'm just saying that I do understand where the others are coming from and that we should be upset with them.
