You're an excellent knight my good fellow, and there's nothing you could have done. You can't sword-fight a bullet. Where are you? Are you in your room? Do you want me to pop round?
Oh dear I shall have to put on a one-man revue in order to set the record straight I'm both terribly funny and a wonderful actor.
I'm safe and whole and well. Do let me know when you're feeling up to company, I'll bring a time-appropriate meal and some tea around. What a bally awful mess, all of it.
Dimitri hiccups, sniffles, wipes his eyes. Without even being present, Ossie has this wonderful way of making him feel safe -- not 'safe' in the sense of 'we can obliterate whatever threatens us,' but safe, in the sense of 'the world is good, and we'll be okay.' It's profoundly un-Faerghan. Dimitri's never known anything so comforting.
Not a second of it As far as he's concerned, the entire month of October may as well not have happened. Now, bear in mind that... the stress of it all has shaken him substantially. He appears to be having some troubles with his memory. I know I don't need to ask but please do be gentle with him if you come across him; this sort of thing happens with our kind from time to time. But it is truly Giles, I'm certain of it.
He... forgot about our relationship, briefly. Not me entirely, but that we ever commenced the relationship. Any other lapses or gaps in his memory, I have yet to come across.
As for the nastiness with Ginger; you have my sincerest heartfelt thanks. I am sorry that it was you, but I'm sure that Giles would also be terribly grateful for your aid in returning him to himself. On that note; do you want me to tell him, or are we keeping that information between us?
Dimitri knows what he did was necessary. He's still struggling to see it as good. But he can cling to that reassurance, and maybe eventually it'll sink in.
Its up to yupo You I dont want to casure cause him more pain But if you thikn it eould help or taht he wouldnt mind Indnot mind if you tel him Im not good at kepeing sercrest Secrets
He'll recover. As I said, this isn't uncommon for our kind. The rigors and stresses of the fairest lands often do things to ones mind, but in equal parts it is both poison and antidote. Though he has suffered damage to his mind, the manner in which our minds fracture allow us to put ourselves back together with time and effort. As I have said, Giles will be fine. I'm taking care of him.
I'll let him know. I'm certain he'll be grateful for the service you did to him, and I expect he'll want to assure you of your blamelessness himself.
The offer is deeply appreciated. You're a wonderful young man and I do hope you realize it. Whenever you're feeling up to it, pop round and say hello to Giles, that will help him beyond measure. Thank you, Dimitri.
It's heartening to hear that, that Dimitri doesn't just want to fight. It sets Ossie's heart at ease.
