Okay. I'm really letting this go too far. Even my Dad was giving me funny looks. I'm still hiding from the Nexus, but I'm sick of not seeing people. With my luck, somebody's gotten married or something when I wasn't looking

...tomorrow? You can wait on that, if you'd like. Really. And I can send you the ammo now...

I'm not sure. I haven't seen Chris for awhile, and Rose...I think she wasn't really there, although I wasn't there either, so I don't know.

[eileen303]

It's no problem, I'm going to have some down-time. I should do it before I forget again. You can send the ammo now if you'd like, I just figured it might be easier if I picked it up, since I'm going to be there anyways.

Did you get a chance to talk to him before... the Nexus went off-limits?

[unbroken]

Okay. Please come by whenever you feel up to it, then. And let me know if you need anything, okay?

I talked to him in Hollister's for a little bit. It was a lot for him to take in, and I really haven't seen him since. I'm getting worried...

[eileen303]

I will. The ammo's all I can think of at the moment, unless you've got a winning lottery ticket or divine indulgence you're not using right now.

Damn. Well, at least the flip side of not being able to affect things much means it'll be real hard for him to get himself in serious trouble, but... Would you drop me a note if you hear from him again?

[htownshend]

I'm going to come with you tomorrow. And maybe we could do some other, more fun stuff, too? I'm not working...

[eileen303]

I don't know if that's the best idea. I'd love to do something when I get back, though. Is that film festival thing still going on at the Narrow Gauge Cinema, I wonder? Maybe we could catch the end of that.

[htownshend]

Eileen...I'm not letting you go by yourself. It should be fine, but...I'd go nuts waiting for you. I'm coming with you. If we're both there, nothing too bad can happen, right?

And I think it is. We should definitely head over there- it sounds like fun.

[eileen303]

Henry, nothing bad is going to happen. I'm just going to one town barely fifty miles away. I've been fine the other couple times I've been there. It's all right, really, don't worry about it. I won't be gone long.

[lazymetaphors]

Welcome back!

[eileen303]

(( Merci! ))

[lazymetaphors]

De rien, ma belle!

(Ma Bell? Is that, like, a really bad internet pun?)

Hey, I just wanted to apologize to you for getting so shaken up the other night... Normally, I'm a lot calmer under pressure than that. I don't know why I let it get to me that badly.

Take care, okay?

[eileen303]

Apologize? Ika, that really isn't something you have to apologize for. He's scary, you get shaken up, it happens. It'd be downright miraculous if it never bothered you at all. You especially don't have to apologize to me, I've probably got the market cornered on freaking out over Walter. It's practically an Olympic event. Don't worry about it, really.

You take care, too. Rest up. And look on the bright side: it was no fun for anyone to read or deal with him, but he said some useful things in that post you pointed us to. We'll figure something out; he won't be a permanent fixture around here.

[singingsquid]

Fright as an Olympic competition? Heh, I wonder who would be the judge for such an event, and what sort of prizes would be awarded...

I'm actually laughing at myself right now- I was about to apologize for being so apologetic before I realized how utterly ridiculous that would be. Thank you for your reassurances and your humor- I think I was needing that. You are NOT a "crappy friend" in the least, Eileen.

[eileen303]

Oh, I know that one. Psychotherapy by a sane and competent professional for third place, lithium for second, and a huge vacation for first. You're on your own for the judge, though.

It's my pleasure. And thank you.
