It's amazing how a few phrases can elicit such a strong emotion from you. I was elated to see Grev on DM today. I've spent the day just reveling in our conversations and playing around with him. I even logged the wrinkly tree for him to molest with his tentacles like the good ol' days. Though back then she was just a sapling :P
He sent me an excerpt from his note about people on DM, it was about Bedlam. He warned me that I would be a sissy baby girl and cry and I, sitting here an ocean away from him, waved it off. But as soon as I read it, the tears welled up instantly and I was crying. Wow can he call it or what? And moments later he had me laughing again. He's very good at that. I can't recall word for word what he wrote. It faded from memory and all was well again. But for that one instance, it touched me deeper than anything I'd read in decades. Even now the tears are welling up and I can't even recall what the words were. It was about Bedlam disappearing, and how only the two of them can relate to it. The people that love them can relate too, though on a different level, we can never be on their level, can never understand their depth of it. I wanted to hug him so badly for that, for understanding, for knowing, for being Grev. If you know him, you know what I mean.
Ok, wiping the tears. It's an odd feeling to have two emotions running so strong inside of you at once.
