Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

To tell you the absolute truth, when last we parted I had the most dreadful feeling. The thought alone was enough to keep me silent when we said goodbye, and for that I am sorry. It had been such a pleasant day too. I hope I did not worry you too much, though you implied that perhaps your mind has been elsewhere too.

Have you made any progress at all? With anything? You know what I mean.

I do apologise if this letter finds you at a later time. I had still more to think about before I could reply.

Fondly,
Nick

Should I, could I ask why there was such a dreadful feeling about it? I...I suppose I just don't understand. It can't help but be elsewhere, I'm sorry.

I have been...distracted, but thinking a lot too. And I've come to a lot of decisions. I'm going to wait until next week and get straight to them, I think. Just need the motivation, which I can only come up with to think of things, not to do them.

yours,
Abime.

As you left I could have sworn that would be the very last time I'd ever see you. Please, tell me this won't be true. I want to make you promise me you'll take care of yourself, that I'll see you again! It wouldn't be fair to you to make such a promise, but you understand that's why I looked the way I did. It was an overwhelming irrationality.

Your mind is your own. Do not be sorry for it. Do not wait any longer, Abime, or else your mind might work against you.

Sincerely,
Nick

Mon dieu, that's not the case. You'll see me again. I have absolutely no plans on not seeing you soon, or dying sooner. I'll be careful, I promise.

I don't want to do anything at all this week, but once I get back into work next week, I have plans, and I'm going to do them.

yours,
Abime.

Re: Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

It is a very silly reason for the way I acted as I did, and I'm sorry for it. I was more petrified than rational. It won't be the case, not at all.

I am very glad to hear that. It is a fair first step.

Yours, until I am no longer,
Nick

Re: Letter to Delame

[poison_infrench]

No, it won't.

I think so, and I'm hoping things work out. It'd be nice if they did for once.

yours,
Abime.

Re: Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

I understand if you want to hit me over the head for thinking like that.

Are you going to keep said plan quiet and to yourself?

My regards,
Nick

Re: Letter to Delame

[poison_infrench]

It's not like I could if I wanted to.

I might. I might not. I might tell you as I'm doing it. Or, I could spill it all in my next letter. I'm not even sure.

yours,
Abime.

Re: Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

But do you wish to?

Do what you want, Abime, so long as it gets done.

Fondly,
Nick

Re: Letter to Delame

[poison_infrench]

No, I've done irrational things at times too.

It'll get done. I'll tell you all about it when it gets done and it gets done well.

Yours,
Abime.

Re: Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

Then I'm eased for the time being.

All right? Sounds....good.

Sincerely,
Nick

Re: Letter to Delame

[poison_infrench]

Good, good.

It is good. I hope. I plan for it to be so, anyway.

Yours,
Abime.

Re: Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

You will take care, won't you? And you'll keep in touch, yes? Despite your imminent plans, I would like to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Nick

Re: Letter to Delame

[poison_infrench]

Of course, I'll take care. Don't worry, I'll write soon, I promise. Absolutely.

Yours,
Abime.

Re: Letter to Delame

[gryffin_ghost]

Good, then I am pacified. I look forward to your next letter, and hope all goes well.

As always, I love you. Despite everything, there is that.

Yours,
Nick

Re: Letter to Delame

[poison_infrench]

I look forward to writing it, as that means all has gone well.

I know. And I really do care that you do.

yours,
Abime.
