Gifts (Maya, Topaz, Kevin)
Dec. 22nd, 2021 09:35 pmSorry I’m not around to give you these in person, but I hope they’re warm and useful! I’ll be gone for a while, but once I get back we can have a drink and I’ll answer as many of your questions as I feel comfortable with, okay? And uh.. I definitely checked out AMA and do not suggest it as a general rule, but once I’m field cleared again we can have a friendly spar and you can kick my ass AFTER I’ve answered your questions. If you need to.

I'm so glad we got you back. I'm sorry I'm leaving for a while, but I just.. I can't. I can't be around all of you, not knowing if my mind is my own. I fucked up, I should’ve known better, and still.. foolish me, thinking love and fierce protection might be enough this time, when better people than I tried and failed to get through. And the idea of anyone else in my head makes me want to scream, so until I can handle that, I guess.. I need to go, need to know the rest of you are safe. I saw these colors and thought of you, and I hope it’s soft and warm and brings you comfort and good memories.

Thank you for taking a chance on me and being such a fantastic mentor. I really appreciate everything you do for me and how much you’ve been encouraging me to learn and grow since joining the team.
It’s not booze, because frankly you can afford your own and know your own expensive tastes better than I do, even if I’ve been doing your orders for the past few months. The black and silver pair hide a USB drive–I’m sure you can come up with some use for that. (And it was SUCH a spy gadget thing that I honestly couldn’t resist when I saw them.)
