We can see if we can get a message to them through the HER-MES after, to make sure they could see. I believe they can. And, like I said, if not... we can find another way.

Yeah, that sounds good to me.

[ exhaling with some relief... this makes him feel a little less paranoid and crazy, and he appreciates these thoughtful and levelheaded responses. as the bathroom curfew probably made evident, he's not always the best at the levelheaded part. ]

...I know we weren't close before or anything, but it's good to have you back.

[ even if he's JEALOUS OF THE SEX YOU HAD!!!! like in general not with lucien specifically ]

[HELP ME, TOTTY!!!!!!! THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY SEX, DON'T ASSIGN HIM RECOVERY SEX HE'S READY TO SNAP IN HALF AS IT IS!!!

He smiles almost shyly.]

Thank you. I miss them a little already, but it's nice to be back with everyone here.
