Private message to Rory

Love, we need to talk. It's been almost a whole day, and you haven't-


I don't know what she told you... no, in fact I do. But you have to hear my side of it. Please.

I don't even know what to say.

[alt_rabastan]

Well that's a start. Of sorts.

Can we talk? Without using these things, I mean.

[alt_sinistra]

I have to teach soon. Till two.

And.

She said a lot of things last night. That she'd be - "paying attention" if we met. In private.

Made a lot of other things clear.

She showed me. A tiny bit, at the very end.

[alt_rabastan]

That's what I was afraid of.

It's not real- you know that it isn't. I don't know if it's the product of Cassie's delusions, or entirely manufactured, or what, but it isn't real.

But I'm sorry you had to see it.

[alt_sinistra]

It isn't just that. It's other things she said, too.

Part of me knows you tell me the truth.

A lot of me is terrified.

And there's other things.

I can't be fair right now. I can't think straight. I don't want to do the wrong thing.

[alt_rabastan]

Right then.

It's just- I'm the one who's been sacked, and whose name is being dangled over a cauldron of mud. Just in case you were wondering how I was doing.

[alt_sinistra]

Don't

I hate this.

It all comes out wrong.

Talking will make it worse. Right now. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about so much.
