I thought I'd let you know I couldn't handle another moment of meditating. So, I'm off. I'm heading back home to see a friend and the boys, my brothers, before they send out a search party for me. I hope you're well and collected, still in one piece and all.

I'll still be in my hideaway in the city for another day if you need me.

Cheers,
Betsy

How are things? Argh, that was a stupid thing to ask. What I meant to say is that I'm sure since my departure and with Nathan focused on fatherhood that no one else has managed to liven those hoity Victorian walls. At least, I hope not.

I've found my sense of humour, partly. It was tucked away behind a rather large stick up my arse, or so my psychiatrist is saying, or better yet, thinking.

It's odd what happens in the latter part of the evening. You get homesick. I'm not ready to come back, if ever, but I hadn't realised that I would miss it until now. I keep smiling everytime I think of you and Hank. All those redheads underground and underwraps, he must be thinking he did something right in his previous life.

Well, so you know, I'm heading out tomorrow for home, my real home. It's bout time I popped in for a visit. See you.

Cheers,
Betsy

I wanted to check in with you and Miles. I'm sorry for the way that I behaved before, but I needed some space and perspective. I'm sure life is churning around without me, as usual. And you're even enjoying yourself with that megalomaniac of yours. I hope you aren't angry with me, but if you were, you'd be justified.

I miss you.

I'm glad to hear you're going home - I suspect it'll be good for you to see your brothers again, if nothing else. And the change of scenery probably couldn't hurt, either.

I'm... limping, at the moment. Short version - big mission that involved some fairly heavy fighting. I'll be hobbling around on crutches for a couple of weeks, but I'm pretty much intact. Although I'll be hearing from Haroun about how he saved my ass for the next year, I expect.

Safe trip, Betsy. Stay in touch?

Agreed. Getting out of dodge, as you Yanks say, is the general idea. I've gotten the gist of the big bada boom mission and I'm glad to hear that the team is still intact, Haroun included. His swaggering about always got under my skin, but he's an asset if he really did save your hide. Let him gloat. I'd say it's better than the alternative.

I will keep in touch. You do the same.
