I need to get Manuel out of here for a bit - I don't know what's up but something's really eating him. Can I come find you later about that project?

Having to go out as a last minute thing - can you make sure Meggan's all right at bedtime? We're in the middle of "The Hobbit" as far as bedtime stories go. Tho' we had to skip the bit about the spiders.

I'll owe you one. Big time.

Office door should be open all afternoon tomorrow if you wanted to drop in then.

And yes, please, take him out of here. Before he digs himself a hole too deep to get out of.

Yeah, I just saw that after I emailed you. You can't give me any hints on what's bothering him? He was talking about friends not being around to talk to - I thought he meant me, but he mentioned learning from the same friend, and that's definitely not me.

Lusanya, I imagine. Something happened to unsettle the Askani last week and they went quiet. Some of them are gone, again... she's still there, but unfortunately she resurfaced just in time for this spurt of idiocy on his part tonight. She is not happy with him.

Hell, I'm not happy with him. If I could afford to indulge myself... never mind. Just take him out of here before he threatens another teacher or goes to wake up Moira so that he can tell our daughter she doesn't deserve to have it any easier than he did.

Just about to head round to his room to grab him. I've asked Angie to look out for Meg and I've told Meg herself I might be gone all night, but could you keep an 'eye' out as well? Besides, she's good for clearing up bad moods, I've noticed. Something about a lapful of furry kid hugging you does that.

One step forward, a giant leap back. *sighs* Catch you later.
