You've got nothing to apologize for. Everybody's got their ups and downs. Some days it's ups, some days it's downs.

Just, feel better Wanda.

And you're welcome for the sandwich. Sorry I didn't stick around, I've been busy.

It's all right. I had to get this head situation arranged with Nick not long after, anyway.

At some point...we should talk again. I know it's awkward, though.

Nick?

Look, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm trying to not make it awkward, but it's probably going to be awkward forever. I don't know if you can tell why or not.

He's helping me keep it from overwhelming me.

Yes. You're one of the people I hurt.

I'm sure the Cathedral will have services on Christmas Eve.

[unhexed]

Yes, I'm sure.

Do you have a moment, Tony?

[morethanasuit]

I've got quite a few, what's up?

I seem to have had a change in circumstance.

I wanted to apologize to you, in case it doesn't last.

Sorry for what, belle? You take all de time you need an' you yell if you want somethin', okay?

All right. I think I should be all right for a week or two. You're very patient.

I saw someone. A telepath--not like Xavier, not quite, but no one really is like Xavier.

I'm Southern. We're jus' slow.

.. From our world?

Are Northerners inclined toward impatience, then?

No. At least, I don't think so. He is trustworthy, I want to make that much clear--I know it was a gamble, but he was tremendously helpful.

[adamantined]

You think this place has stuff like that?

[unhexed]

Does it? I hope so.

[adamantined]

I've never really thought to look, but someone did mention the Cathedral.

[unhexed]

Do you practice?

[makes_you_tick]

They'll have midnight Mass at the chapel. I'll be going, myself- might even be singing. I think it's a good time to slow down.

How've you been, Wanda?

[unhexed]

I hope you do sing. I'd like to come to the Mass, I think.

Adjusting, to put it mildly. And you?

[makes_you_tick]

You're the second person to tell me that today. I think I will, then.

Adjusting? To the City? I know it's tough- but you'll come through it okay.

I'm...frustrated, that's probably the best word for it. But I'll be fine. It's the nature of the season sometimes, I think.

[unhexed]

Thank you for that.

Why are you frustrated? If you don't mind telling me.
