Louis and I retreat from "public life" every now and again. Sometimes we do it because shit is going down. Sometimes we just withdraw because it's what we need to do

Someone's arsonous tendencies now coexist with new enabling abilities!
Yeah. I do so hate to be chased out of my own damn city but I absolutely couldn't abide it. It was best I retreated. If I had stood my ground relations with the Talamasca would have heated up pretty fast. I'm still angry enough to start a war.
Well it wasn't me stalking you..that's the problem. You should go back Oct 26 so I can stalk you ha! How was New Orleans? I mean aside from being stalked by someone other then me. The Jazz still playing? Wisteria taken over? Streets still a mess of cracks and pot holes?
It was as it always is. It was just a little changed as it is each time but not enough to rankle me. It was brash and damp and steaming hot and the scents and sounds do something to my soul.
Yes, that's it exactly. It feeds something vital inside me when I go back. Louis feels as I do. We don't know just how much we have missed it until we have arrived and can hear music on the wind and see the banana leaves dripping with summer rain.
Ah! You know as well as I that you don't have to throw it to get showered in powdered sugar.
I like the rain too, actually. I fared fine, my backyard was bit flooded but it last about one day then it receded and nothing was damaged. We are very far inland here, so it wasn't so bad. We have actually had worse rain events in the last few years that were worse then the hurricane rain bands we got here.
Well, we all need some time away from everything, don't we? I can't criticize you too much, since I leave for stretches of time, too. I didn't really understand until my days became almost entirely unstructured and I had nothing dictating where I go or what I do, I guess that comes with getting a little older

We're all free agents, yeah. And as much as I adore you all, my life isn't here online, just as yours isn't. And, offline, a change of place can do wonders.
Good to see you. Dry, I hope.
I have plenty of time and money to spare. Only she can answer if she laments her time with me. Perhaps she should. I was never what she needed, only what she most desires.
I wouldn't want your life to be entirely here. It's just kind of... I don't know, sad. At least that's how it was for me. Sad. It was a little brighter because I wasn't entirely isolating, but it could never hold a candle to what I have now, even if I'm only truly close to one person

I'm the last one to complain about anyone disappearing of late eh? Still, it is always nice to hear from you. I think it's been an -odd- time for many folks recently. Something in the stars perhaps. I can't really say. I am glad that you are doing well, all things considered. I am sorry to hear of your divorce but it was inevitable I think. I do hope Juliette recovers ok. I think that it may be that seperating from the one you most desire, whether it was true love or not might actually be worse than separating from someone you simply shared your life with for a time until you grew sick of one another. It seems that way to me, at the moment anyway. I find lamenting the 'what could have beens' very difficult indeed. But enough of that. Louis was a pyromaniac fire gift or no so I can't say I think him having this gift seems anymore deadly than when he did not. He would set them either way right? Ha. Hopefully he will stick to inanimate objects. (We both know he won't but it sounds good.) I do wish I had the means to return home more often myself

A shame your stay in NOLA was so rudely interrupted.

Yes it was then definitely better to leave before you start up some unnecessary trouble.

My brand of trouble is never unnecessary.

Always gotta go back and reunite with that part of the soul that gets left behind.
Ha! You're more then welcome to follow me to the Cafe Du Monde. I can throw powdered sugar at you. Or we could have a powdered sugar fight.

The Talamasca was stalking you? Why. I thought they were supposed to stay away from you.
You were in New Orleans, awesome. It has been rainy. Glad not to much of that infernal weather came your way.
Wow, divorced. I don't even know what to say about that.
The garden sounds lovely.

How was your time in New Orleans otherwise?

I cut my time short due to Talamascan snooping, but otherwise it was good to be home.
