[As Brennan stares at the open journal on the desk in her room, a tear falls first on the page. It ought to be her responsibility to say something. But they're words she does not want to write. So, it's a good minute or so after that, after Brennan struggles to get her emotions on control, that she actually places pen to paper

I'm sorry to hear that. [ she wants to ask how she's doing but with how little she knows her it feels a little odd ]

If you are up to it there is something that I think he'd like you to have known.

[truthin_bones]

I do not know who you are.

You knew Booth?

My name is Helen Magnus.

Only briefly. We spoke regarding a condition that he was aware of, one that I believe you were concerned of?

Helen Magnus;

[truthin_bones]

You're the doctor that examined him in regards to the potential tumor.

Was I correct?

temperance brennan;

[longaevus]

That's correct, yes. Did Agent Booth discuss anything further with you in regards to that?

Helen Magnus;

[truthin_bones]

No.

Do you have results?

temperance brennan;

[longaevus]

I do. Would you prefer to discuss them in person?

Helen Magnus;

[truthin_bones]

Through the journal is adequate.

With Booth no longer here, they are ultimately of little consequence.

[longaevus]

Perhaps but he did care for you, knowing may not change the situation but it could alleviate some worries as to his condition whilst here. [ And if he ever returned ]

The tumour that you know of was present. Agent Booth mentioned having a hallucination, and although other factors could have had a hand in it the presence and location of the tumour would show that it was the cause of his hallucination. Despite that there is something good - his condition wasn't worsening. Through some means the castle prevents any illnesses that we may have before our arrival here from worsening during our stay.

[It is all something of a relief. Even if Helen's mention of Booth caring for her threatens tears all over again. It makes her uncomfortable, needing a few more moments before she can respond.]

That... is a relief. Since he has returned home, it is only a matter of time before he has the operation to remove the tumor.

[longaevus]

May I ask as to how it turns out, if you know of that.

The operation was a success, but he reacted poorly to the anesthesia. When he awoke from the coma, he suffered from mild disorientation.

It was something he recovered from quickly enough.

temperance brennan;

[longaevus]

Then perhaps that could be one less worry for you, knowing that he will be well soon enough?

Helen Magnus;

[truthin_bones]

It is.

[But it doesn't change the fact that he is gone.]

temperance brennan;

[longaevus]

I'm glad for that, then.

If you ever need to talk, I'm here.

Thank you, Dr. Magnus.
