catwoman, death

[Wren M]
[It's maybe due to the fact that she's barely seen or spoken with anyone in too long (and feels helpless in all the things going on with her own family), that Iris thinks again about Wren's request. It takes a while to come up with something to say, but she finally leaves a short message for Wren, as always slightly messy in its penmanship.]

I will help with Gus if you tell me when and what sort of aid you might need.

	Okay. Can we add Luke to this? Is that okay? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-10 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Of course, if you would like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 02:46 am UTC (link)
	If it's about Gus, he should be involved. He's his legal guardian, not me. But [...] thank you for getting in touch with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 02:59 am UTC (link)
	[...] Legal or not, you are both his parents. And you were the one to speak to me about it first. It made the most sense to contact you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:04 am UTC (link)
	Thank you for that. I really do appreciate it. But if we're going to work things out, he should be a part of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:31 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I didn't mean for it to sound like I thought he shouldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:41 am UTC (link)
	I [...] didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 05:26 am UTC (link)
	[A substantial pause.] No, I simply [...] don't wish to say the wrong thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 05:32 am UTC (link)
	It's okay. I'm trying to be calmer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 05:59 am UTC (link)
	I'm trying to be less of an awful person. It's a work in progress, however, and I have absolutely no doubt that I often misstep still. I just hope my missteps will not be too great here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 06:14 am UTC (link)
	You aren't an awful person. I'm just really insecure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Maybe there's truth in both these things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 06:23 am UTC (link)
	Luke can mediate. He's good at that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	There is nothing that can be mediated once I've said or done something horrid. But of course I have no objection to Luke being involved. [...] And hopefully there will be no need for my presence anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	Iris, this isn't about calling you in when there's an emergency. For Gus to feel comfortable around you again, he has to see you regularly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. [...] I misunderstood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Does that change your mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	It's unexpected. [...] A bit confusing. But no, I suppose it doesn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. You'll talk to Luke? Actually, maybe just breakfast the day after Christmas? At our place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	That should be fine. I don't have any other plans. [...] Would you like me to bring anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	Gus likes giraffes this month. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Not at all what she was expecting. She actually laughs a little.] Do you think that will hold through the holiday? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so, or Luke is going to have to repaint Gus' bedroom before he even finishes it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	I shall hope for steady interests then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	At least until the paint dries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps even after. To give Luke a rest. I hear painting can be tiring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	He has to build a doghouse after. I think we should let him take his time with the painting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	He sounds like he's going to be very busy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	And that's all without mowing the huge backyard he insisted on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Are you certain there will even be time to have me over for breakfast? [She can joke! Sort of. Tentatively.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	He can work while we eat and talk about giraffes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like a well thought-out plan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	I would say he could cook, too, but then I think we'd all go hungry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-11 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	I can sympathize. I don't cook much either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-11 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	I promise not to intentionally poison you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-12 12:55 am UTC (link)
	I would appreciate that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-12 02:51 am UTC (link)
	You'll talk to Luke before? We didn't add him on here, but he should still talk to you first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R soundofwings 2012-12-12 04:41 am UTC (link)
	[...] Alright. I'll speak with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wren M/Iris R laminette 2012-12-12 04:53 am UTC (link)
	Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
