[maidmalapert]

Is it starting to settle in...?

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

Every time I think it is, there's something else. It's...

it's hard to balance the last three months with the rest of my life.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

How do you mean...?

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

If I say "I used to be more of a control freak" I'm kind of asking for it.

I had a harder time trusting my team. I was more obsessive. I... uh, I can't really imagine letting people close enough to calm me down the way you and Luna would.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

...is it awful that I'm glad you came, then?

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

No. No, I'm really glad. I was getting... lost.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

Must be hard to look back on, then.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

That's... yeah. I don't know how to make it match up yet. It's just as hard for me to look at everything I've done as Eclipse as it is everything I did as Tim. I don't... really know who to be, going forward. Maybe someone new.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

It's still going to be you.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

I'd still like to know... what that means. It's like being pulled two different directions.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

I suppose the best place to start is with what you want it to mean.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

I want... a lot.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

There's nothing wrong with that. Even if it does mean a lot to sort out.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

It's going to take me... a while. But I guess I've got the time, if I'm not leaving.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

Yes. You've got time. And we can always talk it over if it'll help.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

It will. And it has, I mean. But right now... I still need more time to think.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

I certainly can't fault you for that.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

What about you? I've been going on about me this whole time...

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

I'm all right. Busy but dull, if you know what I mean.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

I have a lot of memories of dull but busy now.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

There you have it, then.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

Maybe we could play chess by candle, or something like that.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

I'd like that very much, if you've got the time.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[detectivewonder]

I can do it when everyone else is off at a game and I'm left here to worry. Although that might be too often.

Re: [Day 347, early night]

[maidmalapert]

This isn't very comforting, but... probably.
