Don't worry, Mory (can I call you that |D; ), I won't leave A New Journey. It's a splendid rp, one of the best I've joined in a long time. Plus, even if you and the others accidentally get ahead in this rp, most of the posts are - how should I say this - easy to improvise with. Like for example, Darby could just simply be watching from another room, or following silently, or doing whatever business he's attending to depending on the scene. No problems. uwu Huge time differences won't be enough to stop me from roleplaying.
I have this little headcanon, that if Darby finds that he is deeply (and seriously) in love with Morywin, he'll realize that he will grow old and die early before Morywin does. Then he'll realize it's such a tragedy - for if he were in a relationship with her, who's going to take care of the one he loves once he's gone? Won't she despair just as she had done for her daughter? He can't bring himself to do that to her.
Poor Darby will be torn. XD
