I'm sorry what happened to you and your family. Glad to see you are coming back and hope the art commissions will be done. No rush though, because I know you are probably still grieving. I was about to cancel the trade but now that I know you are coming back, I will keep it going.
Words cannot describe how sorry I am for never coming online. Honestly. It's a really long story as to why I disappeared, mainly because I've been working like crazy, but a death in the family made it pretty hard to operate for a while. That was the original reason why I stopped going online. Then I started working again and it was sort of mechanical to just absorb myself there, then come home and simply be with my siblings. Nothing else was ever done.
However, I'm more than up to returning to Mene! My brother and sister helped me out a lot, and although an online site doesn't quite seem "cool" to them, when I admitted I'd ditched everybody, they were all, "Nataniel! That is rude! What the hell is wrong with you? Would you ever do that to us? No! Then go back! Be polite!"
Manners is sort of a big thing to us...
I'm horribly sorry for leaving, everybody. Really, I am. I wasn't going to return today, but I just happened to type in the website and saw all the messages you sent and it broke my heart. I feel terrible. It's like I turned my back to friends without ever saying why...
Dick move, I know. I got slapped around a bit if it makes you all feel better.
