Mitsuhide, please come home. Everyone, thank you.

It's good to have you back, Waverly.

[light_lost]

Thanks. I believe I owe you a story. Care for coffee?

[charmedillusion]

Yes, thanks, to both. Would you like to come over, or should I?

[light_lost]

I can. The house is a bit ... emptier now. I'd rather be out.

You have no idea how relieved I am to see this message. How do you feel?

And of course I'm up for it. Seras will still be with me though. She has orders to stay on my elbow constantly. Including in the damn bathroom, which is really extraordinarily irritating.

I noticed the network has gotten dramatic over Harry's friend. You know, by this point I was wondering if he still kept them. I really am being wicked. I ought to stop that.

I feel, tired. Worn out and missing someone very important. That's just how the City crumbles though.

I really am sorry about causing that. I wasn't sure if you would still rather stay inside. You really do look quite good though. I think the coloring makes you look alluring and mysterious.

I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I tend to stay out of the drama unless I know who it involves. That and I have been even less social on the network than I was when I came here.

Yeah... Is there anything I can do?

From what I understand you couldn't help it. There's no reason to apologize. And... I'm trying to get over that. Seriously. This isn't the Frontier. No one here is going to form a mob of torches and pitchforks and run me out or try to kill me. I need to get that through my head.

The only other thing is worrying about Him watching me with another face. I've been stupidly paranoid, even on the network, when people I don't know well talk to me. I mean... what's to say he can't impersonate people there as well as in person?

But... you know... I don't want fear of that bastard controlling my life...

And... I just really started rambling there... sorry.

Re: Private

I'm much the same. To be quite honest, I only noticed because she seems to have most of the network pulling out pitchforks. You can't check the network without seeing someone whining about her.

Not really anything anyone can do about them leaving. The pain will pass with time. He's where he's meant to be anyway.

If anyone did try to mob you I'd kick them in the face. No one hurts my Doris without getting my shoe up their butt!

I hate to say it, but he probably can. He's probably trying to revel in the idea that he's made you a scared rabbit. Predators are like that. We both know you're stronger then he is though. He can't break you no matter what.

[foxy_physician]

Waverly-san. I'm so glad that you're alright.

[light_lost]

As well as can be expected, yes.

People are leaving the City again. I wonder if he knows Thomas is gone - I wonder if he even cares.

[foxy_physician]

How are you feeling now?

Really? Oh . . .

[light_lost]

Tired. Mmm, a bit sore. I'm sure it will pass with time.

Really. Thomas and Ted.

[hisplusone]

I'm just very glad to see that you're out of the hospital and back on your feet, Waverly. We were all so very worried. And think nothing of it, what are friends for, as Sarah once put it.

[light_lost]

Still, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I still have those sketches I need to show you. I won't draw anymore during lent - even if I did seem to have broken it, but afterwards I'll sketch up a storm.

[crossshapedscar]

Waverly-dono. This unworthy one is glad to see that you are awake de gozaru.

[light_lost]

Oh! Thank you for finding me. At least I was told you found me.

[crossshapedscar]

Hai, hai. This unworthy one and Kaoru-dono found you in the water de gozaru. How are you feeling now de gozaru ka?

[light_lost]

Tired, but better. Thank you.

I'm sorry to have caused something so unsightly to happen to you.
