And in this case, there was an ambiguity -- Aktala <i>thought</i> there was a no-podding agreement in place, when in fact there was just my expression of intent not to pod -- almost, but not quite, the same thing (the difference between "I promise not to" and "I don't plan to"). So, I did not feel an absolute obligation to pay reparations. I felt, then and now, that it was the right thing to do ... I just didn't think it made military and strategic sense. So it was a relief that the war ended that same day and I could "do the right thing".

I am glad that you have made up to her since. Hope this doesn't count as necro! Keep up the good stories.
