To Those in the Know

Abby told me Samson Mors and Svetlana pulled my son down off of the pyre he was burning on.

Samson Mors and Svetlana KavenskayaApparently even wise, old ladies can be wrong. I wanted to believe Samson could help, but I didn't see him risking harm to save my son. And he did. As for Svetlana... Well. I was wrong, and that's all I have to say.

I'm very proud of my father for what he did last night. We had dinner afterwards. Things are good. I'm really impressed with him.

I have to believe that Thomas will be all right. That he'll talk to us when he's ready. It's always been the case before.

[iamqueendiamond]

I am too. You'll let him know? You had dinner? Were you alright with that? And now?

Of course he will be. He's a good boy.

[in_spectre_mors]

I will, Mums. I imagine I'll be seeing a fair bit of him for the next few days too, as I'll be spending a great deal of time at the hospital. I must admit I was rather wary of any invitation coming from him that involved dinner, but after what I'd just seen, I was able to get past that, and I'm glad I did. I honestly think it was the most positive bonding experience I've ever had with him. I look at it quite fondly.

Our Thomas is the best.

I'm sorry for what you had to see and what necessitated it. But I am glad you had an experience where he could prove he does love you in his way, and you could both bond.

You did both eat, right? I don't need to kick him in the bollocks?

[in_spectre_mors]

Indeed. I am grateful that something good could come out of all this horror. It doesn't make it okay, but it does give some of us something to hold onto.

I've eaten, yes, and I know food was brought into the room where Thomas is staying with Stephie and Scarlett. I'm not sure if he ate any himself, though. I imagine Peter would have recommended it to him highly, at any rate.

Well said, my boy.

Thomas will be alright if he doesn't, though I think it would help his mental state if he did. As for you, I just had to make sure. I'm glad. I'm glad too, that you could have a meal with your father that wasn't, in any way, traumatic for you.

[in_spectre_mors]

I'm sure you're right, Mums. I hope he has had something to eat, but it's good to know that it won't be doing him any actual harm if he hasn't. And thank you for checking on me. I really do appreciate it. I love you, Mums.

[iamqueendiamond]

I love you too, my darling boy. You are such a light in my life.

[in_spectre_mors]

And you in mine, Mums. A very bright one indeed.
