*is oddly surprised (and surprised to be surprised), hearing you mention family in this context* *supposes they've all been brothers-in-arms in the past, and Eru knows, he (Erestor) would do anything in the world for them even now... but when was the last time either of them lasted through a real conversation with him?*
*sighs again, just about keeping the unhappiness concealed* Mm, well. They're home, anyway. It'll take some of the pressure off. *experiences and squashes a twinge of inexplicable dread (he knows he's been less than up to par over the past couple of weeks, but surely he'd've known by now if it was anything major?)* Mostly I just want to forget about work tonight. I miss you.
