51: I should have expected this

[young_idealist]

So they're gone, Mlle. Da'vid and M. David. He never told me his last name. I feel that I've been somewhat entrusted with a legacy, though

A book club? I'd be interested.

[young_idealist]

Really? You'd be quite an asset for that. It's always good to be able to get people together to talk on a common subject, don't you think?

[autistic_genius]

Oh, I agree!

What are you thinking we should read?

[young_idealist]

I thought perhaps to start with classic literature, the sort of thing that wouldn't be too offensive and easily available in the library. Are any of our librarians still about?

[autistic_genius]

Uh, you know, I'm not sure.

[young_idealist]

They would be a big help, but I can find my way around a library on my own as well. Thank you for being interested. I've missed talking to you.

[autistic_genius]

Me too. How have you been?

[young_idealist]

I don't wish to complain, but I've been very reclusive lately. It is hard getting out to see people other than Loki.

[autistic_genius]

Just don't feel like going out? Or is something bothering you?

[young_idealist]

To be honest, I have been worried about running into Mlle. Tyler and the Doctor. But I understand that now the Doctor has left.

[autistic_genius]

He did? When?

Look, Armand... I know things are tense between you and Rose, but you can't hide away. Just...I don't know, try and avoid places where you think you'd see her. You don't have to stay in your room all the time.

[young_idealist]

Recently. Mlle. Tyler just wrote a note about it.

[Private]

Intellectually, I know all that. I haven't been able to face my fear though. Perhaps it will be easier with only one of them to dodge now. Thank you so much for your concern. Words in this journal can't convey my gratitude.

[autistic_genius]

You're welcome.

I think a book club is a good way to start talking to people again, too.

[young_idealist]

I look forward to seeing you there, if not before then.
