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.

[in_spectre_mors]

Yes. I feel exactly the same way. Now that I understand he went through the very things he put me through... and indeed, I know what that can do to a person. I'm just so glad I didn't end up like him.

I think you're right. We'll talk to Abby, and when everyone's ready, we'll make it happen.

I know, Thomas. On both counts. And it means so, so much to me. I love you.

[suave_thomas]

I'm thankful for that every day. Both you and Mara managed to avoid it and I can't say how proud I am of you for that. It's amazing, because it would be so easy to give in to fear. But you were too strong for that.

Wonderful.

I love you too.

[in_spectre_mors]

Mara just amazes me every day. She's grown into such a remarkable person. So generous and smart and full of love. I truly believe she's going to change the world. I'm glad I'm making you proud, too!

[suave_thomas]

You'll both change the world. You already are, and I have no doubt she'll take after her big brother.

[in_spectre_mors]

You say the best things, my love.

[suave_thomas]

I say true things.
