I was trying so hard not to let it, but I guess it did really hit me. I know you said about how we can't make it personal, and I didn't think it was going to be personal, and then we were there in the middle of a fight and both of them were talking about their own baby like he was going to -- I don't know, like he was going to single-handedly bring down the whole Protectorate just by drooling. Or something like that. And it got personal, really quickly.
Makes me want to go back to Moddey and cuddle George extra, just to let him know that even if he wound up with parents who've bought into the whole shite stew, that doesn't mean nobody cares about him. (I know, I know, Alice and Frank and the rest of them will do all the cuddling anyone could want, but I feel ... almost responsible for him, really.)
Anywiz. Even though it was rough, I'd still like to come back with you again in future if you'll have me. Or put together another expedition to find more about the octoboroses. Dizziness, puking, falling off brooms, magic-disrupting Clouds of Doom, pissing-down rain, screaming parents, and emotional gut-punches aside, I had a nice time with you today. (Which sounds horrible. But you know what I mean. Today was awful in a lot of directions, but it would've been more awful alone or without you there to make bad jokes with.)
