Hey, I just wanted to apologize for Monday.

I obviously hurt you and I'm sorry.

It's fine. How are you?

[whatdoesdequal]

Fine, right up to the point where I realized carpentry isn't my thing.

[cloverstone]

What

[whatdoesdequal]

I don't have the money to pay for all the repairs needed in my apartment. Tried to fix some of it myself. Didn't turn out so well.

How about you?

[cloverstone]

[ wow r u dumb, for real ]

You don't know anyone in that business?

[whatdoesdequal]

[hey. 8( ]

Ironically, no.

Dad and grandpa are chipping in when they can, but there's still a few odds and ends that need attention but can't afford.

Duncan is also motherhenning when he can.

So.

About what we talked about last time...

I read the articles you suggested.

[cloverstone]

Yeah?

[whatdoesdequal]

You have to understand. I want to believe as you do, but I can't. It's something my dad raised me. I can't just believe something this weird with only circumstantial evidence.

I know what I fought looked like and I'm pretty convinced that's what it is, but it was also nearly 6am in an apartment without any lights.

Do you have anything that you can show me that I would absolutely have a hard time denying what you're suggesting?

[Ow. her thumbs.]

[ her barriers were already up, and this does nothing to lower them.

sorry, lindsey, but she's burnt out. ]

No, I don't.

[whatdoesdequal]

[She doesn't entirely believe it, but will let it slide for now.]

Okay.

How are you doing?

[cloverstone]

I'm fine.
