Something that I love is that the King James that ordered the Bible be translated into modern English thus creating King James Version or the KJV which most conservative Christians adore is the same King James that had 2 male lovers (Robert Carr and George Villiers), and the same King James that wrote the spell book “dæmonologie.” So like. Not really the guy the Christians act like he is.

I think a lot about how Kassandra constantly references people she knew and seems to have a deep hidden sadness beneath her snarky nature in the Fated Encounter Crossover Story in Valhalla. It was the last time she had anyone to connect to, she literally had nothing else to cling to in the intervening years. And with no connections to make, what memories were there to hold dear? She could recall all the beautiful places she's been, the different cultures she's encountered, but ultimately what does any of that mean if you don't have a connection to it? It's just another time, another place, another face you'll pass and forget.

She carries on with no one to remember her, and those she does connect with in the future will die as well, leaving her memory a rumor of myth once more. All she has are these moments, these pockets of lifetimes spent with people she loves who are gone far too soon.

It's why she remembers those moments so well. Why she carries the grief so close to her even 1300 years later. Because she really hasn't had anyone else to share these memories with. It's also guilt she carries with her for every death she feels she could have prevented (i.e. Phoibe, Alexios).

From the wiki for Kassandra:

She didn't make friends, she barely made connections, and she just existed in between the moments of actual friendships and love. All of which were so very rare.

❝ did they say how many are dead? ❞

— Bruce Ismay to Arthur Kirkland

Arthur was no stranger to death, nor to the harsh realities of sea voyages, and both were so intimately intertwined-- but it felt... different, this time.

He had involved himself in the aftermath of the sinking, not just as a retired Admiral and active foreign diplomat, but as England, and Arthur, too. He had lost friends and acquaintances, and the terror he'd felt for dear Noel had seized in his chest like a cold vice the moment he'd heard first news. (Jack, normally stalwart, had been beside himself with worry.)

He made himself look Mr. Ismay in the eye, his own green gaze reflecting genuine concern and sorrow. Arthur knew what he was asking--he wouldn't condescend and bandy about with excuses about 'exact numbers'. One simply didn't ask how many were dead if one was after cold statistics. (Not usually.)

After a brief moment, where Arthur could chose his words and tone, he answered:

"There are roughly 700 survivors, Mr. Ismay." Out of a total of 2,240 passengers and crew.

It was a blunt answer for a blunt question, but he had tried to deliver it plainly and with respect. It was all that could really be done.
