nine - apologies & guilt

[amissbennet]

My deepest apologies to those whom I might have offended during our time as people quite different than ourselves. I am told this is what we refer to as a "flood" and I think I must agree that I am not fond of them either having now experienced one fully. If there is any way I can make amends to those who I have wronged, I pray that you will enlighten me. I do hope I have not lost the good opinion of any person here. Though I would not dare to think ill of you if I have.

I understand there were a great deal who were injured as well. I feel obliged to inform you that though I am not trained in any sort of medical profession, I desire to help if I can be of any service. Please do not hesitate to ask.

I am in need of counsel, sir. I was wondering if you might be available.

Of course, my dear. I was wondering how you were doing now that Castiel has departed.

Horrendous. I am beginning to doubt my presence here and what little I did to endeavor to help him. He letter I dare say I did not deserve detailing his reasons for leaving, none of which included myself, but we were hardly ever more than passing acquaintances and I still question whether he might have left because I could not help him. I was meant to do more, I am certain.

I'm certain his departure had nothing to do with you; in fact, though I personally believe you were ill-suited to the relationship you'd been placed in with each other, I know with great certainty that you both did your genuine best. Good intentions might not be anything, but they do count for a great deal in my book.

What are good intentions truly worth if they do nothing toward their intended purpose?
