[Public]

No one died this time. Did they?

[Wren H]

You came through okay. Right?

[Evie S]

No crying this time. But no tea. Was yours better this time around?

[Preston R]

All right?

[Louis D]

I'm running out of ways to ask people if they're okay. Are you?

[Lin A]

Survived it? Skipped it?

	Maybe. I worry about losing control. Your building might really dislike you then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So we skip my building. Go somewhere less [...] loud. There's an art show. No one's going to see it. That's quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nervous, unwilling to commit. Ready for things to go wrong. He pulls away from the soothing somnolence.] I should see how it goes with Charles first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The retreat is noticed but not marked. Easily:] Like I said. Thought? When you can, do. See how it goes with Charles. And with Steve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sad thoughts taste like blood and snow. He doesn't think it's going to go well with Steve. The best he can hope for is that it doesn't go to absolute hell with Charles.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Blood and snow and Saint thinks resolutely of sunshine, of open spaces, of the kind of heat that bakes earth solid. He thinks of the awkward rush and rescue, of the slow circle of the ceiling fan. He doesn't think it will go poorly with Steve, he thinks Steve knows Preston's good qualities. Stubborn. Saint isn't often stubborn.] Charles will know what to do. [Certainty, the simplicity of a little boy's faith in a comic book hero.]

	[A warm, warm smile. He's still thinking about the past, but more distantly. It doesn't hurt him like it used to. A quick parting touch, wordless farewell, affection, confidence, hints of desperation and discomfort. He pulls back in and shuts the window. Silence.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
