To Those in the Know

[suave_thomas]

You know what's weird? Besides Peter dying for like the 37th time. Every time I go to see Samson Mors, he looks at me like I'm the second coming. (Ahahahha! Sorry, dirty mind. ...oh fuck GROSS!) I don't know why. In his mind I used to be the terrible ex-monk who corrupted his angel son and condemned him to Hell. Nevermind that my husband

I like the way you're thinking, Thomas. And I love that you have hope. I love that we can have hope for him.

Seeing the Beyond could be very good for him, I agree. I'd want to be very sure he's ready, though. It's such a huge thing... it could easily fuck him up, too. I trust your judgement, and I know you know a lot about this sort of thing now. But I think it might be a good idea to get Abby's opinion as well, just in case. I hope she does think it's a good idea though, because I'm leaning that way. I think we - you, Samson and I - can handle it.

[suave_thomas]

I really do too. Knowing where all this has come from...it's making it a lot easier to think of ways to help.

It is a huge thing, and he might think it's an illusion too, which is why I think it's best if I'm there. I agree with getting Abby's opinion, and I'm not offended that you'd want hers too. Not in the least. She'd be the one to know best because she's coming at it from a different angle. Whenever he's ready, I think we can handle it too. I would ask that you have someone there with you though. I know you probably would, but just so i know. Maybe Mums? That way you're not leaving your body alone in a room with him? Just a thing.

[in_spectre_mors]

Absolutely. It's amazing what context will do.

Mmm. Yes, Samson thinking it's all an illusion is just about the least helpful thing I could possibly imagine. That being said, I wouldn't think of doing it without you there. I think you've become quite a comfort to him, and if anyone would make him feel safe, it would be you.

I hadn't thought of the issue of my body yet, so thank you for pointing that out. You're quite right, and I think Mums is a fine candidate. Samson trusts her too, and I know nothing could go awry with me while she was present.

[suave_thomas]

I feel sorry for him. I really never thought I would, but fuck, I do.

I'm glad. When I'm back up there, we can do it, providing he's ready. Otherwise I wouldn't be there, obviously! And that should cut down on the chances of the illusion aspect.

Damn right. Mums would lay down her life before she'd let anyone hurt you, and if this was a situation where I thought that would happen, I wouldn't put either of you in it.

It's really good that he's open to your thoughts. It even took me a long way to get there, when I was talking to Peter about religious issues. It took a long time for me to come around and actually like him, because on principle I wouldn't like a Catholic priest. Of course, he proved me well and truly wrong in that. I'm sure Samson has a thousand times the barriers I did, but the fact that you can still break those down and have a dialogue with him shows just what an inspirational and intelligent man you are. I love that you can do this, Thomas. You're amazing. I hope this thing with the Beyond brings him another step forward. It sounds like a good idea, though I expect he'll need a major debrief afterwards, even though he won't remember a lot of it. That's going to be very confronting.

[suave_thomas]

Hey, on principle I couldn't like a rich boy, so I hated Peter for about three days until I realised how adorable he is. Sometimes it just works out that way.

I'm pleased I'm getting through to him. That we are. It's taken a lot to get to this, but I think considering the thing that started it all, it's good it's happening now.

A debrief I would expect. And there will be people around to do it.

[seminalsemiotic]

At least I know it wasn't just me!

It's definitely good. I'll take all the good we can get right now. Even if he's not exactly on our side, it'll be good to have him not oppose us, and maybe find some personal peace while he's at it.

I think this is all going to work out just fine *smiles*

[suave_thomas]

Nope! Much to his eternal annoyance! Just FYI, he doesn't like being called Richboy...

Exactly. Those are my thoughts as well. And he's stopped saying terrible things about homosexuality... Which is good.

Fear is a terrible thing, but there are few people who can make it go away like you can, Thomas. I would go with your instincts. I don't think they'll ever steer you wrong.

[suave_thomas]

Thanks, Beautiful.

I want to thank you so much for the care you've taken of myself and my family. You're extraordinary, Svetlana.

[demon_svetlana]

You're welcome, Thomas! Honestly, it's my pleasure. I love being able to help, and you give me so much in return. I'd do anything for you all. Your love and forgiveness have literally changed my life.

[suave_thomas]

Well you've changed mine.

Good ways. You've changed mine in very good ways. Thank you.
