Is this longer than all of the previous letters put together?
*stands nears Anthony to silently offer support*

Mr Goldstein. I heard. And, I'm sorry.
*waits as though she may say more, but doesn't.*

bluebronze_gold December 13 2006, 07:44:00 UTC

Yes! I think this is the longest letter he will ever write too.
Anthony: *attempts to offer a grateful smile*

*looks up from the table he's working at then looks away again*
*nods*

*after a long pause*
Thank you, Professor.
*brows knit as he thinks of something*

lefthandstars December 13 2006, 12:01:22 UTC

Well, I thought he wouldn't really appreciate a hug. But he can have one if he wants. *hugs*

It does get better. It gets worse first.
*quietly, sad* But you will be able to live with it.

*turns to leave*

bluebronze_gold December 13 2006, 19:00:26 UTC

You're lovely.

*grimaces a bit*
That's what they say.

*looks up as she turns*
Professor?

lefthandstars December 15 2006, 10:24:20 UTC

Mmm.

*turns back, gentle*
Mr Goldstein?

bluebronze_gold December 15 2006, 11:13:07 UTC

*after a pause he speaks hesistantly*
Do... do a lot of... people know?

lefthandstars December 15 2006, 11:31:06 UTC

I-

*professionally calm*
No. Professor Dumbledore explained that you would be away from school for a funeral. Sadly that is not uncommon.

*breaking a little bit*
I made it my business to know whose. And I understand - what he meant to you.

bluebronze_gold December 15 2006, 11:35:31 UTC

*nods a little*
I thought he might- might tell people.

*looks away, cheeks flushing hotly*
Oh. I... That is...
*swallows roughly*

lefthandstars December 19 2006, 00:03:06 UTC

People like to know.

*symapthetic to his reaction*
Me, too. Once upon a time.
Although it didn't end... that way.

bluebronze_gold December 19 2006, 00:20:10 UTC

*shrugs one shoulder to this*

*blinks in confusion*
I... I'm sorry.. I mean... I think?

lefthandstars December 20 2006, 07:51:06 UTC

*calm again, quietly assured*

I am sorry, Anthony.
You are not as willing to talk as I am.
I loved someone once. And one day she just left. I made it my business to know who you had lost, but I should not have disturbed you.

bluebronze_gold December 20 2006, 08:10:20 UTC

*looks a bit startled by the pronoun Sanara uses*
*shakes his head*
No. It's not.. I mean, you didn't... You didn't disturb me. I just didn't-
*blushes deeply and looks away* I didn't know.
About- you're my professor and all but I didn't know you were... And... You didn't disturb me.

lefthandstars December 21 2006, 10:43:54 UTC

*squishes*

*on his being disturbed, soothing* Okay, then.

It is not a common topic of conversation. And it is not something I was ever public about.

*doesn't mention his loss again, although she's thinking of it*

bluebronze_gold December 21 2006, 11:01:31 UTC

*is squished* *grins*

*blushes*
I won't tell anyone. I- *softly* Thank you for telling me and... I'm sorry that she- that you and her- That she left. I...

*lower lip quivers and he quickly wraps his arms around his stomach to keep from tremble*

lefthandstars December 23 2006, 23:17:21 UTC

I'm sorry, too.

*rests a hand on his shoulder*

It does get easier.
