Life happens, tgva. I'd think you'd appreciate that fact, considering you've had to take a few days off now and again.
I'm trying to "wrap it up", so that we can skip things ahead time-wise in the Mortal world, and like berry suggested, we make training an Episode. Meanwhile, in the main plot, we can get the Samsara plot running.
That said, I'm trying to leave the cafe meeting open for other people to talk. I'd be willing to give it another day or so before insisting we try to move it along.
