I perceive you are annoyed I did not speak with John in the intervening week. He has been lately doing his best to avoid me, I cannot think why my attempt to make it easier was not welcomed.
As for my assessment of you, I stand by it. Your retiring personality is not just shyness, it is an extreme that does not wear upon later encounters. We must put Micah Callaghan aside as an example given his recent transgressions, but you had seen Elias three times and spoken with him at length on the journals. He is also possibly the most stupidly inoffensive man I have ever had the misfortune to meet.
It makes no difference to me, you will be delighted to know.
