I will be glad to offer Catseye all the support I can, and I will answer her family's questions to the best of my ability. I hope the meeting goes well for her and for them.

And Forge . . . "Mr." is not my first name, and you really need not treat it as such. I understand and applaud your desire to show respect for your teachers, and I realize it is unusual, in this culture, to use only a single name--but it is the only name I have. I pledge you I will not consider it disrespectful of you to address me simply as "Kylun."
