☂ 20; and his dark secret love does thy life destroy

I trust that, by now, you're all smart enough not to go down to the bloody post office and I mean that in the literal sense. I also trust that you will have informed me of the nature of your injuries if you have so taken any injuries upon your person. I also trust that if you suddenly have a gap in your memories after your visit, you'll still

Well I can safety say I have no limbs missing and remember you quite clearly, now if I could get his blood out of my uniform I would be perfect.

... And it isn't my blood, just so clear. But are you okay?

[is_an_island]

... Whose blood is it?

[generose]

Conrad, ah... Achenleck...? Yeah, that's his name. Post office turned him into a bat and he was missing a wing, so I carried him back to his home and helped bandage up the wound. Got some blood on me in the process of it all, that's all.

[is_an_island]

... It's good of you to help.

I know a few tricks of getting blood stains off clothes, if it helps you any.

[generose]

Well, it was the least I could do... I couldn't just have left him to bleed on the sidewalk.

Really? That would be a lot of help actually, because I still don't get how this all works and the tricks. ( sigh. ) I still need help just starting the silly washing machine.

[is_an_island]

Ah...

Well, cold water helps. Or salt, or... baking soda, perhaps. Loads of things. I'm sure you'll get it out nicely.

[generose]

Okay, I'll remember that. And I hope so, my uniform is the nicest outfit I have here.

That aside... you are all right, yes? I already had enough of a shock with Florence.

[is_an_island]

... Yeah, I'm fine.

I should have kept a better eye on her.

[generose]

I could have done the more myself. I'm glad her memories from here seem to be fixing themselves, I just wish I could say the same about her memories from home. Thankfully she's only missing a few days and not like... years, or worse.

[is_an_island]

It was a stupid risk. Honestly, it was a bad decision, all around.

You won't be going.

[generose]

And I agree with you.

... I don't need you to tell me that, I don't have anything that I'd want that would be worth losing my memories or a body part.

[is_an_island]

What were you doing near the post office, then? When you helped the bat?

[generose]

I was walking home from work and noticed the trail of blood he was making.

[is_an_island]

... I see.

Sorry.

[generose]

It's... fine.

I told you before I wasn't going to put myself in reckless danger again. So believe me a little, won't you.

[is_an_island]

It's not like I don't trust you.

But I might occasionally worry. Not about you, just... things.
