Email to Nathan and Moira

To: [proud parents]
From: [the welcher]



So sorry I didn't come to the munchkin's birthday. There's a really good reason - you've both heard about Remy and the fact he's not crippled any more, and you're not dumb. Yes, I Healed him. Apparently. I don't actually remember doing it, just waking up thirty hours later feeling like shite. But he's walking around and not looking like a job half done to me any more, so I guess I must have done something.

Any way.

The thing is, I don't know how I did it. Where the power came from. And until I do, I don't trust myself to be around small people. Even if I'm getting a charge off people subconsciously, I still could be using people as a power source and I can't risk that. Remember I told you, Nate, during that lunch? I'd never do anything to hurt her deliberately, but I don't know what happened. And until I do, I just can't be around her.

I've got a present for her, tho', one of those kids books made out of cloth so she can throw it around as much as she likes and not hurt anyone or anything. And given the cake stories I'm hearing, that's a good thing by the sounds of it. I'll drop it 'round next time she's over on Muir with Moira, that way there's no chance of anything happening, even by accident. Tante would be rolling her eyes at me and calling me 'idiot chile', but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Again, so sorry I missed it - I hope you took lots of photos. No, wait, proud parents. Of course you did. *grins*

We've got plenty of pictures - I'll send you a selection of the funniest, which includes high-velocity cake.

I had actually wondered about what happened with Remy, after what you told me last weekend about not wanting to risk Healing until you knew for sure how it would work. I hope you figure out what did happen soon. I can imagine the uncertainty is very hard, all things considered.

I'll tell Rachel she's got a new book on the way. She likes books. Wonder where she got that from.

Thanks. I'm sure Pete would like to get a look at them too - he's been in and out a lot lately.

Yeah, I thought of that when I saw you talking about Remy's good news. Seriously, I don't remember doing it - last thing I do is talking to Remy at Charlie's grave about going down to New Orleans and maybe talking to Tante about getting the magic back one day. It really bothers me I can't remember, since yeah, after Selene's influence I don't know where my power's coming from any more. I've got Doug and Angie helping me out with things, as well as keeping Moira in the loop.

No clue. The postman? *grins*

That makes sense. I didn't actually think you'd tell me you were going to stay away from the healing until you figured things out and then turn around and do it - although I suppose, if that's the timeframe, you actually did it before we had our conversation, didn't you? Heh.

Exactly. I don't lie, not to you, and I'm not about to start going back to saying one thing and doing the exact opposite. At that point I didn't even know I'd done it.

I didn't think you had. I just assumed something odd had happened.
