13th_crusader[†]Habakkuk 1:2-4
O Lord, how long shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save!
Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold injustice? Why dost Thou tolerate wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice doth not prevail: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.[†]

The threshold was charred, the back window was shattered, and the back pews, carpet, and tapestries were blackened, yet there was nothing that could not be saved and refurbished. Escaping by the skin of their necks was the only thing he was grateful for--Whilst the other 90% of himself was seething at the lack of judgment.
In Maxwell's quavering hand was fisted the 30 silver coins he had used to pay the Pope's ransom. He snarled as the livid hatred boiled up in him and tossed the shimmering coinage into the middle of the temple.[☨]
There is no justice, Lord! None! I do not believe a single solitary soul can even fathom it in this misbegotten place!

Madam Lilith... Might I request an audience with you?

Date: 2010-07-04 06:48 am (UTC)[Such words felt numb on his tongue.. as if he was beginning to question that very proverb after all that had been dealt to him from Midian and beyond. Pausing, he heard the door creak behind him and peered through the crack to see Anderson observing what could be salvageable.]
Well?
Is all lost, Father?
[He spoke rather facetiously. Letting that cold cynic cover up the injustice in his soul.]
Action! Oh hai Andy
Date: 2010-07-04 05:28 pm (UTC)[She was immediately distracted away from Enrico the second Anderson was inside. After all, she hardly knew Enrico. Anderson was safe. Familiar to her.]
...
We'll put it back together again.
Action! Oh hai!~

They seem to have escaped too much damage, for the most part. Luckily, the residents who'd offered their assistance had done well from the outside, keeping damage to a minimum. It certainly could have been much worse.]
Action!

I'm eased at that. . aha.. Are you feeling no worse for wear?
