Hello.

I am in need of legal advice regarding a private matter:

Is a marriage contract legally binding if one or more parties involved were under the influence of spiritual possession while it was officiated?

Thank you for your assistance.

[ "What Zelda wants," huh? Karlach may be simple, but her words hit home. Darin has been encouraging Zelda to think about what she wants for a long time now. ]

I suppose I should spend some time thinking on that. My life usually necessitates that I weigh other factors beyond my "wants" in my decision making.

everyone's got their own circumstances back home
but the ocean has given you a gift that shouldn't be overlooked
freedom

By virtue of being part of a different world than my own?

[headhunt]

yeah
you're a traveller in a new world now

whatever you were before doesn't matter unless you got skills you can bring with you
you know what i mean?

back home i was being hunted. had to be careful who i trusted. anyone could be out to sell me back to the devil who made me into her soldier.

it's not like that here. something of a fresh start instead.

[ She actually winces as she reads that. Once conscripted (and, from what Darin has told Zelda, physically altered without her consent), now hunted... free, but barely. That explains a lot about the advice Karlach has been giving. Although Zelda has been bound by the duty of her station since birth, she has never been enslaved as it sounds like Karlach has.

It takes a few seconds before Zelda responds, allowing Karlach's words to sink in. ]

Perhaps I have taken my freedom here for granted.

Thank you, truly. I shall take your advice to heart.
