@TheCoolWinterHusky Her loneliness might be an idea. 
          
          I'm pretty sure in her original draft she kept a katana, unless it was something else. Maybe a pipe, I'd have to search through our old conversations. I would also assume she could speak Japanese. The RN command I don't believe would know much about her. As I wouldn't expect every ship to know everything about every other. Especially considering Thracian is not a prominent figure in the Navy. At the very least if they did hear of her backstory they may be a little indifferent. I don't really like the idea of so many having distrust or even aggressive feelings towards her. It goes against a lot of the personalities I've built in the story. So I'd prefer to keep that at a minimum.
          
          You've got an idea with her not embodying the happy-go-lucky feel. It can definitely lead to many being apprehensive to approach her. 
          
          As to why she was reactivated. I have no real answer, I never thought of it. It's something I'd have to dive into when I have the time.

Hey I know it's been awhile and you're suddenly getting back into writing but I wanted to ask if you planned to continue HMS Thracian's story. I know they're a sideline filler but I feel like their story shouldn't just end because the commander woke up. There is definitely more to explore and more to learn such as;
          
          - Her time within the Imperial Japanese Navy (Or the Imperial Sakuran Navy I completely forgot how the lore goes)
          - Her relationship with Sakurans who might've known her to some extent during her time with them
          - Her relationship with her sisters if any of them are active
          - Her loyalty to the British Empire when she's become nothing more than a second class citizen in their eyes
          - The trauma, abuse and stigmatization she's faced for her "traitor" status
          - How the Maple Monarchy deals with her especially when almost every Royal sees her as a traitor who helped train Sakuran forces
          
          I also have a couple of questions but I don't wanna bombard you with them unless you're ok with answering them. Either way I'm eager for whatever comes next, I've already come this far I may as well see it till the end.

Like a deer in headlights, I was frozen still by the shine that locked my sight. From the lips she parted. To the sharp eyes she'd gaze upon me. 
          
          Her hair, golden and glowing in the light.
          Her skin, A fair shade, soft to the touch.
          Her figure, portioned perfect in both curvature and strength.
          Her legs, provided height for a commanding presence. 
          Her posture, A proud and regal stature, one worthy of a princess.
          
          Time and again she struck me with a loss of all function. And when her gaze met mine, my chest would flood with emotion. She was the embodiment of beauty. She was the commander of my heart. 
          
          She sat, legs crossed in the chair by the fire. A wool knit sweater keeping her comfort. And a book held in her lap to keep her company. A cup of tea on the table next to her, still steaming from the kettle. And a decanter with cups for the spirits that come after.
          
          A smile stretched between her cheeks upon seeing me. Attempting to melt me where I stood. I wanted to caress her cheek and feel her warmth in my hand. Pick her out of that chair and embrace her figure tight. Plant a kiss on those inviting lips till I needed a break for air.
          
          "Hello William" Her soft tone greeted.
          
          "Hello Wales"
          
          She was the glowing light who tamed my soul
          
          She was the angel on my shoulder.
          
          She was the girl who I treasured.

Over 4000 words done on the next chapter. Just needs an end and cleaning up and we should be good. When I get around to it...
          
          Its nothing too special though. Just William settling in. I have a rough draft of the chapter after this done too, so fingers crossed it's quicker.

Hello, I hope you don't mind me taking a little of your time. I know you have been, and are currently writing about the Maple Monarchy in Azur lane, and so I wanted to get your opinion on something that is causing me an awful lot of strife.
          
          I am currently working on my own Maple Monarchy centered story, but have gotten wrapped deep into a spiralling pit of alternate history. I have gone back and am rewriting all of our naval history in order to make plausible the navy I wanted in my fanfiction. I have gotten so wrapped up in it, that I've realized only now, that in doing that, I've lost almost all of our historic vessels. This wasn't something I was too concerned about, until I took another look at your first Maple Monarchy book, and someone else's story based around Canada and the Maple Monarchy. I've now begun second guessing everything that I've been doing the past several months, and left with the question I now ask your own answer for;
          
          Is it worth losing the ships that we Canadians know for mine, and just creating a whole new universe for people to try to catch on to? Or should I just return to reality, damn the feesability, and see how far I can reasonably push our historic navy?. 
          
          I don't want, nor excpect you to answer this for me, but if you wouldn't mind, I would love to hear your opinion on the matter.
          
          Thank you so much for your time,

So a quick update, as your probably wondering what's taking so long and why there's been a bit of a pause in my regular releases.
          
          To put it straight forward. The words just aren't coming out. And I'm lacking the emotion needed in the chapter, right now its rather rushed and bland at the moment.
          
          Another thing is how I've been writing. Normally, all this time I've been writing on a laptop, laying on my bed. Now for the longest time this was the most comfortable way, but now that I'm getting a bit older, and (crazily despite only being in my 20s) my posture is beginning to absolutely kill me, and laying on the bed the way I do when I write just makes it worse . Because of that, obviously, I can't really write, as im far too uncomfortable.
          
          So I've ordered a desk along with a chair and we'll see how that goes, I'm sure it will be better. But that means I'm not going to waste time (no offence) writing while I wait for it, when I could use that time to do other things.
          
          Speaking of other things, life has also become distracting as of late and I've had to put a little focus on that. Easily understandable.
          
          Any time I do try to write, I'll only get an average of 300 words. To make it worse, they are very straightforward words, very bland, and lack personality in the P.O.Vs narration. 
          
          Still. . . It is pretty much finished now. But it needs to be seriously fixed. As for when I'll get it out, there is no time frame. Could be next week, could be the week after. Preferably NOT next month. But I won't promise, sorry. 
          
          To put even simpler. I've just been far too distracted lately by a multitude of different factors and, along with a small lack in interest, it has been preventing me from writing most days of each passing week. 
          
          It shouldn't be too much longer before it's out so don't worry too much. As for if the quality will be to what you expect, hopefully it's close and I don't get frustrated and release it with little editing. 
          
          Take care, talk to you soon.

Holy shit, what a game. We're still in it!

Well...here we go again.

That was a good save Sammy.

@NA-213456 I don't doubt you'll get around to it soon, I've been missing Battleship of her RCF. ;)
