Sorry I've been distant for so long, everyone, I've been on extended business out of the country. The good news is, I'm home now. If anyone wants to grab a drink, or meet for dinner, or find another method of entertaining me, I would love to put my days off to good use.

OH MY GOD. NOT YOU

[travelstheworld]

Hey, I'm not unwilling to admit you can multitask and be both.

OBVIOUSLY GENIUS, but I've known I was one for five months now, and been using the Compendium just as long, and you didn't once thing to reply to me and say HELLO?

I wasn't aware I had to share my alcohol, especially considering I already share my damned family and now my Tale with you.

[puss_in_prada]

So you could have had this monumental meltdown in addition to the uncertainty of learning who you were? I thought I was being kind.

And you don't have to share your family, I have my own thank you.

[travelstheworld]

I am NOT HAVING A MELTDOWN. It was just a surprise to see you here, being so freaking nonchalant. And it's not like you couldn't have asked me to meet you and told me to my face. How long have you known you were a Tale?

Fine, my family's company then, though you're delusional if you don't see being the de Winter golden boy makes you all but family to my parents.

[puss_in_prada]

I've known for nearly ten years. There were the dreams, and then the visit, and then I spent a few months at the Pentamerone, and a few years later here I am.

I see nothing wrong with that. Your parents are very kind people.

[travelstheworld]

Oh, so you're an old hand at this. Fantastic.

My father, yes.

[puss_in_prada]

I could help you, if you'd like.

They've both always been very kind to me.

[travelstheworld]

Oh, so NOW you offer, instead of thinking of this five months ago when it would have been helpful.

Aren't you a lucky duck then?

[puss_in_prada]

I am offering now that you have less to deal with than you did then.

Let me buy you a drink then.

[travelstheworld]

How do you figure that?

A bit hard to do when we're in different cities.

[puss_in_prada]

Well you know who you are now don't you?

The next time we see one another then.

[travelstheworld]

I've always known who I am, the Tale crap hasn't changed that.

Doubt that'll happen soon.

[puss_in_prada]

You know what I meant. Anyway, I was trying to help you!

[travelstheworld]

How? How was that possibly even helpful?

[puss_in_prada]

By giving you a bit of time to adjust before you had to confront the fact that I was here too.

[travelstheworld]

I think you need to redefine your idea of a 'bit of time'.
