The Sound of Silence

[requitedly]

"Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision, that was planted in my brain,
Still remains,
Within the sound of silence."

Today is the National Day of Silence, and NYU made quite a few generous allowances for those of us who have chosen to

Oh, sweetheart! They didn't hurt you, did they? If so, I'll flay them myself.

[requitedly]

No, they didn't touch me, however one of them attempted to.

Thank goodness you're all right. Try club soda on the stains. If there's anything that can't be saved, I'll help you replace it. I can probably get them direct from the designer.

I plan on taking the clothing to a dry cleaner tomorrow, just the one near campus is horrible. Thank you, I'm sure it will be fine.

[venusingucci]

All right. Just... take care of yourself. I worry about you, you know.

Nobody gets to mess around with my boys without answering to me.

[requitedly]

I will. Maybe I'll learn something at those fights tomorrow night.

Mom... I got this far without having you to run to, a little grape soda won't keep me down.

[venusingucci]

Well, good. You should spend some time with your father too.

And... I know. You aren't a little boy. You're a fine and independent young man. But you'll always be MY little boy. Just know that I'm here if you ever do need me.

I'm not sure how well it will go. He clearly has no idea he'd my father anyway.

So long as you know that it's not easy for me to think to go to you. This is all a bit... different. That doesn't mean I don't love you.

[venusingucci]

I'm sure it will go much as expected. Reveling in bloodshed and violence. He's... still learning who we really are, though, sadly.

I can understand, my darling. We're all still getting used to things being the way they are now.

[requitedly]

I enjoy a good fight every now and then. To be perfectly frank I'm sure he'll be too busy to even notice me, and that's fine.

Thank you for being understanding.
