Not avoiding you, really. I just figured you needed to be resting and recovering, and I'm not precisely restful company this week. I've come down to see you a couple of times when you've been asleep. Surprised Dom hasn't told you that.

The other thing... I don't want you to feel like you can't talk about what happened on Saturday. You can talk about any of it, to anyone. If people want you to explain, if you want to explain, you go right ahead and do it if that's what you want to do. If it was my story before this, it isn't anymore.

I pulled out a few things... stuff I was planning to use over the next week or so, for both classes. If you want to drop by tonight or tomorrow morning... well, they're here.

if you count napping every hour, yes, i'm resting. and recovering. a healing spell would help, but i still don't have the power for that and strange has been busy. stuff at the college.

dom did say you'd been down, but it's hard for me to know how you're doing when i'm asleep and dom doesn't tell me too much. and i want to help. i couldn't help that day, and i probably can't now, but... fuck, i don't know what i'm trying to say. just i miss you, i think.

as for talking about it... i probably should. samson would say so. but i can't yet, it's too close and there's too much. and i didn't want to tell tales out of turn.

Napping is good. Precisely what you need to be doing. Healing spells don't work on the stuff in your head - unless there's something you haven't told me - but sleep is best for that. And Moira's leaning over my shoulder pointing out I'm the biggest hypocrite in the world, but I'd like to point out that I have plenty of excuses not to be sleeping properly.

I'm not really okay, Amanda, but I'm coping. You'll be happy to know your dear uncle took it upon himself to kick some sense into me the other day, and Dom's all thrilled that "you've stopped wandering around announcing to everyone who'd listen that you killed forty-six people on the weekend". (She claims that's what I was doing. I don't entirely believe her.) Jack showed up out of the blue yesterday for a little talk, too. And it helps that Moira's not leaving me alone much... I just don't want you to have to worry about me. I'll come down soon and see you when you're awake, okay?

If you want to talk about it with me... if that would help... we could do that. If and whenever you want. Apparently I should be talking about it more than I am, too, or at least that's what Jack says.
