Kinda hard to forget inquiries about my best friend where said best friend can't read them.
You could just ask him these things, you know. He's pretty well come to terms with it all. Also, he's pretty anxious that he's freaked you out.
He's a good guy. Does a lot of good things for the people here. There's been times he's been afraid of what he was, when he hasn't understood it, but he's come a long way.
