Why couldn't you leave it alone? What good is it going to do to get either of them worked up about it? They can't do anything!

You've been there?

	My grandma took me for a long weekend every summer when I was growing up. I haven't been back since I took that picture though, so about four years ago I guess. Before I went into law school. It's an awesome place. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Glad we agree. How are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hip deep in moon chaos. I was trying to work on something with Irene... but Moriarty's counterpart decided to have a press conference with Micah about it. He didn't react well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Am I the only thing who thinks it's hard enough being one person, let alone trying to be two? Jonathan Harker doesn't usually approve of the way I handle things, and never listens to what's good for him no matter how many sticky notes I leave around the house for him.

	I'm [...] not really two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucky you. I feel like I'm about five people half the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's odd being Irene and me. Me and Irene. She doesn't have my instincts and I don't have hers, but the rest is there. Odd. What kind of people are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Being Jonathan and myself is a little more...Separate I guess? I mean I know he's pretty much always there he's a terrible nag. I don't know how to explain it, you know that feeling you get when you feel like you might have left the iron on, and you're twenty minutes from home but your stomach just gets tighter and tighter wondering if you've burned the place down? That's what it feels like carrying Jonathan around. I don't know if I bother him as much as he bothers me. Or if he's just better at blocking me out during the moon. We have a lot in common, we're both fairly level headed but he tends to get a whole lot more obsessive about certain things and isn't so good at letting things go.

On non-fable related level, just trying to be Pete is what confuses me the most I think. I try to be a good and honest person, which apparently means I'm in the way wrong profession, but in any case...It's just kind of hard to balance the person I was in Texas, with the person I grew into when I went to law school and got married and remembering the person I wanted to become and trying to reconcile that with the person I actually became and the person I'm becoming now...Sorry, I'm feeling chatty lately apparently.

	I have a hard time believing you could change quite so much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1104/905B nylonghorn 2010-06-06 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Me too, but it feels like that sometimes. Of course Helena puts it like everyone around me changed and I refused to. So maybe that's the problem. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No, but neither can you. And if Moriarty is locked up, there's no need for you to be avoiding your friends right now. If anything did happen, it would be better that they know anyway. There's no reason not to tell them, Iris. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And I didn't intend to, until he asked me point blank why you had suddenly begun avoiding him, and everything I could think of indicated that keeping it a secret was just going to get you or someone else hurt worse. I am sorry. I don't like breaking promises. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, getting them involved is only giving Moriarty what he wants. He didn't want Irene. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Better for him to get what he wants by using Irene? Hardly. He knows they're in the building - they're already involved. (Reply to this) (Parent)
