alt_sinistraMinerva - I'm sorry it's taken this long to follow up, but I realised we really ought to do so.
First, I am sorry we ended up surprising you with it, but we both weren't at all sure what the answer would be, and had no idea Our Lord would ask for your presence. I do know it does complicate things for you, and I'm sorry for that.
But we really should talk, perhaps in person, about the practical implications, as they'll affect some of our choices. We're thinking perhaps a wedding over Easter holidays, which simplifies some things, but does mean we'd want to make a more lasting shift in rooms mid-year. And while I hope you've no undue concern about our behaviour around students, I'd rather talk about that now than have it be a discomfort later.
Beyond that, though, I presume the YPL oversight committee has already been in touch? They've required I not discuss their choices before the public announcement, but at this point, I do not want to be responsible for laying one more surprise at your feet, so if they haven't, I'd rather explain.
I am still tied to Leicester for much of this week, and Raz has commitments for some of the next, but I can get free for an hour or two somewhere here if needed.

Date: 2012-08-15 10:05 pm (UTC)One implication that I must clearly say I do not like is the natural increase in your involvement in politics. I know you have always been at least tangentially related, thanks to the YPL—but I hate to see you drawn in further yet. It is not an arena which I like to see any person enter; it has been nothing but strife for me.
Strife and, of course, the honour of serving our Lord Protector. But the two things do not always balance.
