Alison-

First, I hope you're okay after last night. Second, I hope you realize you might have gotten in a little over your head there. With that in mind, I propose to give you some self-defense training. (PS - not really a question) I'll give you a couple days to hopefully settle the worst of your insomnia stuff, but this weekend, we'll start with some basics.

Also, with regard to Wade - he's protective of people he thinks of as 'his'. He worried, I suspect all he really wants is an apology.

I'll handle self-defense for our tiny oblivious ginger.

How on earth did I find myself possibly in loco parentis for Alison Blaire. What even is my life.

No idea. Probably the same way I found myself lecturing-not-lecturing her about the probability of getting herself killed and having that shit blow back on the mansion. Christ. It's times like this I wish I could get drunk.

Like Angie said, she's sixteen and her life has changed pretty drastically.

I mean, let's not discuss 'stupid shit we did when we were sixteen', because that way lies Angie getting mad at me all over again.

Sorry. I just haven't been... it doesn't matter.

I'll see you then, I guess.

I was teasing. How you're doing -does- matter. Not saying it's gotta be me, but you should talk to somebody about all this.

I know. I did, and I am. It's just...

I don't... like feeling like a screwup.

I'll be okay. Eventually. Yeah.

Nobody likes feeling like a screwup.

It's okay to not be okay. Trust me, I'd be a hypocrite otherwise - I am in therapy myself.

<3 You'll be fine - send her to myself or Marie-Ange if she needs girl time.

I'm not entirely sure, but if you ever want to do some powers fooling around I could see if I could make some sort of 'drunk like' feeling on your body.
