Subject: my apologies
Elisabeth,
my apologies for this morning's outburst. I didn't have enough warning to prevent the incident, and then, of course, lacked the presence of mind to be able to shield. I do hope your head, well, doesn't hurt as much as mine, now.

Subject: sorry...
about the whole, you know, screaming in your head thing. Alison pushed me into the lake. I deserved it, I admit, but, um, yeah. At least it was something else to think about?
By the way, whenever you're up to it, Scott wants us to talk about my sudden new setting-things-on-fire thing. God, that's inarticulate. I blame the painkillers, which aren't working nearly well enough. But yes, he thinks it's not unlike your unfortunate tendancy to turn stuff to glass.
Sorry again,
-Jean

My sincerest apologies about this morning's incident. I do hope that none of you suffered overmuch. If you're having any lingering pain or other adverse effects, please come see me or Charles.

I'm sure by now someone's explained what happened. From what I could make out before we left the lake, there wasn't any real damage, but let me know if there is and I'll do what I can to make up for it.

My shields handled it (barely). No worries. Terror is an emotion I'm quite familiar with, and blocking it is second nature. That sort of things happen when you spend a great deal of time living in an asylum.

Get some rest and come knock on my door tomorrow, if you want. I'll be reading for the Bar.

Date: 2005-08-09 11:32 am (UTC)It would seem to be a rather trying week for the lot of us. I'll forgive your outburst, if you'll only to keep from agitating the throbbing in my skull even further. Consider it my good deed for the week.

Date: 2005-08-09 11:47 am (UTC)will do my best to avoid any repetitions. As I said to another, it wasn't exactly fun on my end, either.
Your good deed has been noted, the boy scouts will be alerted that you're done for the week.

Date: 2005-08-09 01:10 pm (UTC)I'm glad to hear it. I wouldn't want to make a nuisance of this matter any more than you would.
No need to alert the troops, they're well aware of my tireless duty to their cause.

Date: 2005-08-09 01:15 pm (UTC)glad we're agreed not to persue the matter.
And I'm sure they're most appreciative. Do they get the girl's to give you discounts on the cookies? And if so, could you get me a deal?
-Jean
Re: Reply to Betsy
Date: 2005-08-09 01:23 pm (UTC)Yes, no more pursuing of a matter that is clearly dead.
They are but so are many to such a noble cause. But sadly, I still do not get a discount. Regardless, the Thin Mints in the freezer (marked with skull and bones) are off-limits.

Date: 2005-08-09 01:26 pm (UTC)we shall let it be as water under a bridge. Or through a dam.
There could be no cause nobler. And fear not, I shall take your warning about the poisoned cookies to heart.

Date: 2005-08-09 01:30 pm (UTC)Glad we could see eye to eye on the matter.
Indeed. Only as long as you make sure to tell your fingers the same.
(and I know you are, but what am I?)

Reply to Betsy
Date: 2005-08-09 01:38 pm (UTC)well, it does help that I'm wearing flats today.
Don't worry, it won't be me who stole the cookie from the cookie jar.
(I believe the appropriate response is, "I'm rubber and you're glue," but it has been so many years since I've taken part in a playground scuffle.)

Date: 2005-08-09 01:46 pm (UTC)Oh ho! I didn't think you'd stooped to height jokes now. Well, I do wear heels and you're a walking/talking giraffe. Such things cannot be helped.
Well, you do have the tendency to go for the cookie after supper. Does terrible things to your figure, I hear.
(Right, right. Will have to beef up on my playground terminology, then. Been a bit since my last romp in boarding school, as it were. Though rival models tend to have cattiness down to an artform.)

Date: 2005-08-09 01:52 pm (UTC)I know, I know, the legs that go on forever are a curse I shall just have to bare.
Don't tell me you've fallen for the advertising lies of the Thin Mints. I thought you cleverer than that.
(Boarding school and modeling. You know, it explains so much...)

Date: 2005-08-09 02:08 pm (UTC)What do you mean, 'legs that go on forever?' And that icon is not at all amusing. I have legs too, you know. Plenty of them. And they go....er, places.
Right, all lies then. Of course, I knew that.
(Yes, it explains why I have tact and other endearing qualities.

Date: 2005-08-09 02:15 pm (UTC)Your "legs go all the way to the floor".
We never can trust thoes danmed advertising execs.
(They became surivial traits, I would imagine. Going to school with just the boys for so long has clearly put me at a disadvantage.)
-Jean
Reply to Jean
Date: 2005-08-09 02:21 pm (UTC)Well....thanks.
Right. Exes are bad.
(Clearly).

(p.s. gah! I really can't stand you sometimes. Right when things get interesting, you take moral high ground. Of all the sanctimonious, calculating......)
Reply to Betsy
Date: 2005-08-09 02:23 pm (UTC)You're welcome.
Yes, them too.
Jean
p.s. I just like to keep you on your toes. Besides, I figure, all thoes extra years, I might as well take the opportunity to act like an adult. :)
