Yeah, she's likely to be a little bit... brittle for a while. But, on the plus side, she has a great support system now.

Part of the problem she faces now, alongside the bad (if fuzzy and jumbled) memories, the lost time, and the knowledge of the things she did toward the end of her time in the weeds, is that she was turned at a very delicate age, and now that her mind can grow again, she's still got a long-delayed (mental, if not physical) adolescence to get through. That can be a bewildering experience when you arrive at it normally, let alone the way she did.

Indeed. She's had "eh, I'm immortal" procrastination bite her a couple of times now. Although, that said, we don't know how long the engagement will be. Presumably not decades, which, as she alludes to, was not unusual for betrothals among the older vampire families in the Elder Days, but, y'know. More than a week.

(Also, as with anything else, there's normal due deliberation, and then there's wartime due deliberation.)

He firmly believes it doesn't count if you don't say it out loud. I'm not saying he's necessarily right, but that's what he believes. :)
