That was a ridiculous amount of time for you to have to wait.

I could make excuses. I could explain why I haven't been around. In the end, though? It still meant you had to wait on my ass, and I'm really really REALLY sorry about that.

It won't happen again.

The group thread's up -- and as with any group thread in this storyline, two days wait and you're skipped and the next person goes. This way, we aren't waiting a year for someone. Like you just had to wait for me.

I'm an ass. I'm such an ass. I'm sorry.
