[OOC: this is for Be Careful What You Wished for. Simon asked for his daughter back. He didn't specify for how long, enjoy seeing what he's like in a good mood while it lasts]

This generally isn't the sort of thing I would do, but I find myself needing some solid proof I'm not dreaming so it was well worth the time I spent working out what I was doing.

No one needs to keep their eyes open for the most perfect girl on my account any longer, even though she's refusing to show anyone but me her face. I'm afraid my August can be quite shy at times, she's like her mother that way. A mother who will probably be upset with me for presenting our daughter to strangers like this if I ever face her again, but this might be the first time I haven't been scared of my wife's anger.

	Not when I last saw her she didn't. I once came home to find her wandering barefoot in her mother's rose garden claiming a pair of very expensive shoes made to her measurements pinched her toes. Which I am getting quite the look for recalling, proving she has changed little in pestering her poor father. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How long since you have seen her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Over a century. I'd be more hesitant to admit that under normal conditions, but considering where we've all found ourselves, it seems not quite as necessary to hide that fact to keep myself from becoming a pile of ash. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like a literal pile of ash? I didn't see my father for many years either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Quite. There was a time when those with shorter life spans still believed my kind existed, and were so afraid or jealous of us that they tended to react violently to our presence. You have my most deepest sympathies there. Voluntary or not, unless you have the worst of relationships, those separations are never easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's terrible. I don't know him very well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is, but in their defense some of my people can use our abilities' to be be very cruel to those without means to defend themselves. No side was ever entirely without fault. But it has changed how we interact with their world, for better or worse.

I hope you get the chance to know him, if you wish to. And if you don't...I hope you find peace however you can. Family can be a difficult thing, even when we have all the time in the world with each other.

	I suppose that is a start. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
