Peter & Loki
Needless to say, but I was rather more concerned with you escaping than my own self. For pragmatic reasons as well as it dampening our friendship. If I had escaped instead of you, then I would likely be blamed for leaving you behind and for what caused it. Thus, in a way, this worked out to our mutual advantage.
I dare say that a tiny bit of trouble doesn't included whatever grounded means, or lectured to.
I'm weak and sore absolutely fine. I should be able to visit in a week or two, once I've regained my strength caught up on a few nights of lost sleep.
Were you able to determine where the part of that machine came from, or what it does?
