I'm sorry to hear about your friends. This place doesn't let up. Can I ask their names?
It was strange, being human again. Felt helpless, powerless. Tried to keep close to Lestat, keep my eye on everyone else when I could. Think we all lost someone last month.
Ash was killed, in all that. I had fire powers from the Temp V, I had to melt the frozen ground outside so he could be buried. And fight, a lot. It was tough.
And Harry Dresden is gone. We were really close.
Close to Lestat. That's good. Better than the last one.
[ he'd been dealing with death and dying in his own sphere, but when he reads harry dresden - something in him plummets. ]
I knew him. Showed me kindness during the games. Continued to. I'm sorry, Tim.
[ the books, above all else. their little exchanges over time. suddenly the little pile of books in his room with some of harry's recommendations interspersed between? feel surreal. ]
And no offense taken. Lestat and I - well, I'm staying with him a while.
[ Typing bubbles bounce for some time. Deciding between past and present tense. ]
During the games, when I was attacked, everyone started hovering over me, being protective. It was sweet, and they all meant well, but it was suffocating. For lack of a better word. Harry made up some magic charms instead. He gave me the means to protect myself. I knew he was special.

You guys were close before, weren’t you?

[ when he had to face that he'd killed, murderously, and killed people he cared about. ]
He didn't trust vampires at first - much like you didn't. But he challenged his own beliefs. I'm grateful he did.
I'm sorry, Tim.

For what it’s worth, I’m glad that you could change our minds. You lost a friend too, but you’re consoling me. You’re a good person too, Louis.
