Yes, perhaps an example for Harry is a good explanation.

Also, no one wants the memory of whatever a completely gone warlock is fixed in your mind for ever. You only do it because you want to be absolutely sure you are not killing someone who has been framed or something like that. I suspect the Merlin did it because it came with the job, I can't think many people willing to do the soulgaze. Also, if there was a chance that the kid survived, it was not a good idea to have him seen your very soul.

So, soulgazes are partial, but true. So if what the Merlin sees is too horrible, is enough. It does not matter if you also love music and cartoons.

I agree the two-way street is the main difference, but I believe there is some sort of WoJ about  soulgazes being also subjective and also changing according to the moment that happened. Ebenezer probably did not see the same thing that Butters would see if he soulgazed Harry after BG. I am not sure about the different senses. Pehaps Ramirez always hears music with soulgazing someone. A music he cannot forget.

Oooh. I am sorry about your husband. I mean, part of the problem was, of course, that he waited so much. My hubby is like that and even worse, but I won't tell more details here. Only that I understand you and I applaud you for saying "enough". I  wish your husband a good recovery and if you refrain from the "told you so" you really love him 

New old sofa!! I will put a sweater in it. For some reason, I always found the idea of a sweater casually laying over a sofa so homey and cozy.

Today is a very hot day. To make things worse, we had an event at the university. All the research groups in our Department made a sort of meeting, it is something we do every five years or so. A person from each group does a presentation, telling the others what they are working in and with what methods. Results are better left out, as interested people can find the papers, but the methods can light a buln in someone else. By the way, I did the lecture for my group. But the thing is that the lectures were on a big classrom with no air conditioning! (due to malfunction, not the lack of i). And the place was very hot.

Oh, and we are struggling with Disney  The thing is, the authorities of the university decided a couple of years ago that they could rent part of our campus (the one normally used for sports) to events, for a nice sum, of course. And so, we have several days of an event, called Disney's magic Christmas or something like that. And due to that even, the buses stop entering (and leaving) the campus at 16:00. So annoying. Luckily today I left before 14:00 even, because I left just after the meeting I just told you about. But the Disney event will have functions every day from a week or so.

Awww, that is so sweet! Thank you BugBear. We are so looking forward to 12 months! 89% done. It would be great if you share the waiting and the wonderful time of the first reading with us.

Regen! I've missed you so much.
I am sorry you were ill and I am glad you are feeling better. Hope you get super well soon.
Those birds are lovely! I am glad you could save one, sorry it left you so many "gifts". You are a good person for spending so much time to save one. I am sad for the other ones, but Nature is hard. And it is good that Lisa is better too. I imagine with Winter coming the kittens will rather stay at home.

Hubby told me about your exploits in Duo, so congratulations! And I think what you said about Norwegian makes a lot of sense. I once saw a video about oral Norwegian, and oh my God. That reminds me I've been watching a couple of videos about the Korean alphabet, which is, by design, super easy to learn. It is a very interesting story. Korean used Chinese characters, but the grammar was different, so it was super complicated.  And only a few people could read. But then, a Korean king decided to create a new alphabet that everyone could learn super fast.

Mira, I really not think that Thomas is powerful enough to kill Mab. Also, remember the sex scene of Harry accepting the job is something...mystical, i don't know. Harry did not have physical sex with Mab, I think. His body was still laying with a broken back. So I imagine if Thomas would be accepted as Winter Knight, his seduction powers and hunger would be irrelevant, because his demon would not be really touching Mab's body.
