I understand I was trialing the other day, however I appreciate your patience and cutting down my dry cleaning bill with your lesson.

You should know that Valentia has been inquiring about you by means of drawing a blue woman. She has not quite figured out how to add white crayon to white paper and make it show up properly.

Given how single-minded you have become why should I assume you wouldn't make the safety of your sister, who you were so adamantly concerned about in this regard, a priority that would be acted upon immediately? There was no reason for me to doubt you'd do precisely what you'd said you would. Rarely have you said to me you'd do something and then not done it. What reason had I for thinking this was any different?

I never said you called her a monster, I said you acted like she was a monster, which is true. Though I will have a conversation with her before I leave, assuming I can pry her puppy dog eyes off Eamon long enough, to clarify things I clearly must have misrepresented during our initial conversation.

What we talk, or yell, about will always stay between us until it impacts someone I care about. If you'd like I can give you a list of people to which that applies so you'll be prepared in the future to either not make remarks of the sort I will feel compelled to share or to know what you say will get back to that person. Either that or you can give up the option entirely for me to do the courtesy of reporting things people say about you which are potentially hurtful or damaging and then I'll agree to keep my mouth shut about whatever you say about others to me. Though the pay off of that option really doesn't seem worth it to me, but then I'm not you.

You're right, I've never asked you for anything and while I'm sure I annoy the hell out of you half the time I'd probably have to put forth real effort to steal any of your sanity. I did not, however, ever discard you. Even if you obviously thought I had. Sometimes it's just better to go away for a while and deal with it when you're more capable of doing so more gracefully.

Next time, ask. Do not assume with me. I am an empath. I run off other people's emotions 100% of the time when I am not under the cover of my own emotional shield. Thankfully, they do not escalate anymore because of my sister, who yes, I am adamently concerned about and protective of. She is my last and only living relative. Our name will die with us. Yes, I loath the idea of procreating. While the process can be fun (and I am not sure why I am telling you this), sex can be incredibly addictive with an empath and their partner. Ecstasy is very easily gasped over and over. I believe I could probably kill someone using that method.

To be honest, I would merely take that list as to not create further conflict between us. I care nothing of what people say of me.

Death by orgasm. I can think of so many worse ways to go. I've even seen some of them. Why weren't you shield having? I mean, if all that was mostly just me being annoyed at you and you running off it why didn't you just put up shields? Seems like the easiest thing to do.

It's a short list anyway.

It's mentally exhausting to keep my shields up all the time and even more difficult when I am tired, which I was that at the time. It's not a barricade like telepaths (or what I assume telepaths would have). I have to take my own emotion and build off of it, layering it up and maintain a focus on it to have some peace.

Death by orgasm - is there any other better way to go?

Do not think I did not notice your casual mention of a relationship in there either.

Can you do me a favor and kill me via orgasm if I ever have need of being taken out by friendly fire first?

You notice nothing....

If the need does call for it. But remember, you asked.

I notice _everything_.

Oh I will so remember that I asked. You don't forget asking someone to kill you by orgasm.

Well you can pretend not to because I'm already imagining your reaction to this and it makes me want to smack you. Hard.

I almost think it would be a very cruel death with an overload of pleasure. Almost like torture.

All the more reason to tell me through email. I can avoid injury.

I've been tortured. I'm willing to bet it sucks a lot less when it's pleasure and not just pain involved.

And then learn how to keep a straight face before I'm back in the country in a couple days?

I'm dating Sam Guthrie.

I've heard pain can be turned into pleasure, however that is something I do not want to experience in this lifetime or the next.

A guthrie? Oh you are right to tell me over the computer. Delightful. I do not think I have laughed like that since I cannot remember when. Days before my coma?

That took ten years off my life.

Pain can only be pleasurable if you've got the right inclinations and know how to make it so. I'm not a masochist at all. A little biting, a little scratching and that's as far as my pain for pleasure principle goes. It's really disturbing to see the real painsluts in the throes of it though.

See, I knew you'd end up laughing. He's a good guy, though. Even if he is way too sweet and innocent to be associating with the likes of me.

I think the pleasure I would give could be considered pain. Your body can only take so much.

Days. That will keep me smiling for days, if not weeks.

Oh it is. Trust me. It is... 'sweet'. I believe that is the correct term I am looking for.

That's entirely possible. But I'm dedicated to only having myself or him give me orgasms.

Don't worry, I won't hold my breath waiting for that.
