I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed - Delainy has been the most eagerly anticipated NPC mod in my list for a long time - but as has been stated, there are many, many things in life more important than module development. So take your time, relax, do whatever you want - I'm sure the modding community won't disappear for a while.
But I have to add that it would be a real loss if Delainy never sees the light of day. Everything I've read about the mod sounds extremely promising. So whatever happens, you're clearly a brilliant writer, Bri.
