5/1

Someone will get nosy sooner or later about us being related: any ideas to explain because I may have an option.

You were with my mom on and off for a few years (actually true) and after she met Robert it was a decent split all things considered. Lost touch for a bit but after she passed a couple of years ago you decided it was time to find me?

Its true while leaving out the bad parts of our past. Our world is one thing but our garbage is being faced, no need for that to be common info.

I do think that would be wise Thea. The truth will out sooner than later and I'd rather control when it comes out then have someone slip and it becomes a scandal. And I think your version of the backstory would work well enough.

Re: 5/1

[redarrowqueen]

We're just taking back control, a powerful thing at the moment.

And since you'll ask how I'm holding up: let's call it a work in progress? I'm still having bad days but I'm holding up, hardest part right now is being able to enjoy my own company again. And honestly I'm missing the affection.

[After a couple of months, Katharine's typing has vastly improved. It's not perfect, by improved.

And, as if teenagers aren't going to talk about the interesting gossip: like asking someone's ward about their guardian.]

Who is Malcolm meryln? A boy in class says Arthur king is not your name.

Re: 5/25

[welldressedevil]

[Malcolm had been expecting this conversation for a bit now and he thinks for a bit before.]

Malcolm was who I was once. A name I chose to hide behind. Arthur is who I really am.

[It's delayed only by her lack of technical skill: then Kevin showed her the exchange Arthur had with that not-Barry.

She has a thought, an upsetting one, in the back of her mind, that she may have been in this situation before. ]

I do not know what that means. Have you been dishonest with me?

[Oh look, a little queen who sounds slightly worried. Considering her level of emotional moderation, that's a little odd.]

Arthur? I am in the Library with Kevin. The snow is coming in and we have no power. What should I do?

Re: Backdated to 7/20

I will stay until the power comes back.

[And she hears that.]

Arthur? What is wrong?

If you have time, may I speak with you this evening?

Of course Katherine is everything  alright?

I was thinking of applying to the Council for a position, part time of course while I finish my schooling.

My friend, Kevin, inspired the idea for nominating me for council.

What do you think?

ARTHur! Mr. duffy at the library offeredme a job!

Wonderful Katherine. Let me know your work schedule I think it's time you start some self defense training.

You told me once its always darkest before the dawn.

Well let's just say I'm hating what I've become and need help. I'm ready to find the dawn.

And honestly I'm not sleeping or eating all that great either.

Can't fight through this alone anymore.

[Thea finally hits send after letting the text sit for 15 minutes, this will be a long road back but she's ready to find the dawn.]

Why would a parent lie to their child about who the child is?

Re: 12/2

[welldressedevil]

[Wow loaded question he knows more about then he should]

Various reasons Katherine. They would want to protect the child from the truth to give them a childhood. Or they would want to protect the child from people who might want to hurt them if the word got out.

Sometimes by hiding the truth they protect them from themselves.

Katharine and I have been talking and do you have anything that could work for a small box garden? I'm going to open some space at my cabin for her to use given as often as she's over here.

As for Sara let's call it a work in progress: knowing she's alive is one thing but the fallout is massive. I'm journaling all of this since as I've been reminded its more healthy than training till I crash. [Especially compared to just not that long ago too.]

Re: 2/26

[welldressedevil]

She'd mentioned something about a garden, so I took the liberty of ordering a seed starter kit with the idea of giving it to her as a gift. Basic vegetables and some flowers I thought she'd like.

[redarrowqueen]

Yes blame the crazy but please touch base? Katharine and I are safe, I'm just bruised but will be fine.

[There is no answer to this, just radio silence.]

Something you mentioned a few months ago, there was some breathing trick that helped your daughter when things were nasty mentally.

Can you teach me?

Thea is in the clinic. She’s one of the infected parties. She wanted me to tell you. Have a nice day.

Hi! How do you feel about Kareokee? I promise no PB&J this time.

Re: 7/12

[welldressedevil]

I wouldn't mind a drink and if I have to sing to get one I'll take one for the team.
