Sev's common lineage

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Er, how do you explain Docas' husband being dead *and* immortal? Or the 
well-connected Inire handicapping his earnest search for Dorcas' body by 
  doing it manually and alone, one body at a time?

This could be just ironic. The younger husband saw the scrawny Inire, 
then became scrawny with age himself, but still remembers Inire as smaller.
