Writer's block of sorts

It's not exactly writer's block, but I can't think of a better description of what I'm dealing with. Anyway, the next chapter of "The Lord Protector of Equestria" is taking longer than I thought. I'm having a hard time deciding what I'm going to do for it. I just figured I'd let everyone know why it's taking awhile to update. (Besides working on my other stories anyway.)

If you're wondering what I'm having a hard time with here's what it is.

I don't know whether to just have everyone reacting to the big events of Corvo's past. Like horror at the Empress's death or shock when he spares the ones responsible for her death. Or if I should go through all of the events and show how my version of Corvo would react to all of the big events.

Here's an example of the latter:

Corvo was returning from his trip around to the other cities in Gristol in search for aid with the Plague that ran rampant through Dunwall. The small boat he was aboard was lowered into the water by a whaling ship. Once the boat was in the water, they made their way back to Dunwall tower. Corvo half listened as the two guards talked about there being a curse on Dunwall. He was more concerned with what the other cities had decided.

'Weakling bastards,' Corvo thought derisively. 'Not even willing to try and help.'

They soon reached a closed off area. The massive door behind them closed and water started to fill the area, lifting them to the top. Corvo raced to the front of the boat and leapt off, not wasting time with the ramp.

"Sorry, guys, but I want to get this to the Empress as soon as possible," Corvo shouted back. As he crossed the small bridge, a familiar little girl ran toward him. He smiled and knelt down, catching her in a hug. "Hey there Emily. How have you been?"

"OK. Can you tell me about your trip? Did you see any whales?" she asked.

"Not besides the ones that were caught," he answered.

"Caught?" Fluttershy asked, worry evident in her voice.

Corvo winced, he hadn't been looking forward to explaining to Fluttershy about what they did to whales.

"It would be better if you didn't know, Fluttershy," Daud spoke up, much to Twilight and Corvo's surprise. "If how you treat Manny is anything to go by you love all manner of animals don't you?" When the timid pegasus nodded meekly, he said, "Then yeah, I saw a whale up close. It would really be better if you didn't know what happened to them."

This only worried Fluttershy more, but she decided to drop it, at least for now.

"I need to get this letter to your mother," Corvo said.

"Wait, can't we play hide and seek?" Emily asked, hopefully. "You have time. She's talking to that nasty old Spymaster."

He chuckled, "Now that isn't very nice Emily." He knelt down and whispered, "No matter how true it is." She giggled at him. "Alright, let's head below and play a quick game."

Everyone smiled as they watched Corvo play hide and seek with the young Princess. After the game, they headed to where the Empress was.
