( wonders if that makes it better or worse )

Were you there that day?

[silenceandcards]

I was. I was in NYC where I grew up, thinking there might be something to do there. Couldn't get there fast enough.

[velveteened]

I see.

( he doesn't. he can't even begin to imagine. )

I'm sorry. You probably don't want to be thinking about that.

[silenceandcards]

I've got a wife and brothers, as well as subordinates and friends. I think about it regardless.

I won't tell you to not be upset. I figured you would be so I didn't tell you. But I don't intend to lose hope.

[velveteened]

( he gets as far as typing What's the point of before backspacing all of that and unintentionally echoing what he'd said just that day )

You don't have to worry about me so much. That's a good attitude. With the way things are here nothing has to be forever.

[silenceandcards]

I don't usually intentionally upset those I like. I'll hold a gun against the Initiative's head until my home is fixed.

I checked on you that day because I worried you might've been injured. It was good to see you weren't.

[velveteened]

That's understandable, but are you going to be okay? That's a big thing for one person to carry, and until things get fixed...

[silenceandcards]

I'll manage. If I need to I'll take a roommate out to get booze. I don't mean it to get sentimental, but I've guys here like you and them.

[What he wants to say is he's not alone he's got friends and he really appreciates you even sending him this message because he's not too sure how stoic and collected he could've been if he lost his world and came back to no friends. You're a good pal Oz. 8CCC]

[velveteened]

( he laughs despite himself )

Isn't that exactly what it means to be sentimental?

[silenceandcards]

Might be, but I know to value friends. I appreciate it and you talking to me.

[velveteened]

I'm glad we were able to meet.

[silenceandcards]

Likewise. Thank you, Oz.
