Are you alright?

I saw the entry, and I didn't know what to think.

You don't have to tell me what happened, but I wanted you to know if you ever need a place to stay, I recently got a house. It's Wes and I, David and Anne who're family. There's an extra room, and it's always open to you should you want it.

[Lena has no way of knowing what that entry says but she can't help wanting to see it. She'd known there had to have been one, if Charlie was also looking for her. Still, there's a moment where she can't quite catch her breath.]

I'm better than I was. It's funny we were just talking about changes, especially the bad ones, and using them as tools.

I was going through a final reset and it didn't end very well. It's hard to explain over the journals but I kind of helped make a mess of things. I'm just so sorry he roped you all into it, too. I didn't mean to worry you or anyone.

Thank you so much for the offer. I might have to take you up on that since I'm--we'll be looking for a new place to live. Lucky and me.

Sometimes, as terrible as the universe is, it has surprisingly perfect timing. It was helping me adjust to my change and preparing you for your own.

No, don't be sorry. We weren't roped into anything. We're your friends. There's nothing at all to be roped into. We'd want to help you as you'd do the same for any of us. It's what friendship is. I don't think that

It seems he wanted to help you in maybe the only way he could at that point.

[Slight, slight pause as she understands the depths of what happened and what this mean that she's looking for a new place to live.]

You're welcome, and you are both welcome at he house any time that you'd like and for how ever long.

[willnotbemine]

It really does. Have some sense of timing, I mean. I've been going through that conversation over and over in my head. Especially the using it all as a tool part. How have you been doing? I'd have checked up on you, but as you know, things... happened. I'd still like to know how you've been.

Logically, I know that, I just hate the thought of everyone running around and worrying, but I know.

Yeah, I guess he did.

[She has no real insight to talk about when it comes to that. :c]

Thank you. Again. I mean that.

Martha would have answered the question if she had known how but she doesn't. She's better than she was. It helps to have her own home and have that distance from a Tower that reminds her of her responsibilities as a leader. It helps to have the space where she's Martha Jones. It may be easier for her to articulate it in person, but it's much more difficult to do so with pen and paper.

Lena and Lucky are spending the night here and looking for a place of their own tomorrow. It worries her to think of what could split a family like that even if it's only between the two of them. All of it has seemed very final, and it's worrying to remember that there is more than death that can tear people apart and death is so common as it is. She's concerned about her friend, and they only met the once but the conversation they had was very real, very powerful, very important to Martha. It helped her when little else could
