No details needed, please. No point in adding nightmares.
Hypatia. It all hit me last night, that she's gone, what that means. And we'd been She'd just - always been there, you know? All through school, all through now, stable and reliable and solid. Even when I was frustrated with her, she was good-hearted and caring, and - well. Her.
I'm so worried about my family too. Storm, most of all. And they all - they all must be so hurt. Thinking Mum and Dad are dead like that. What they think of me, I've no idea. And then whatever questioning they get.
All we can do is go forward. Hope we're doing the right thing.
Out Here. Well. Alice and I talked last night. There's things I can teach here. Mostly not astronomy, likely, but there's some practical bits that would help, the locational magics. And I keep thinking about the wards, the first ones, and how they did them. Things like that.
I got most of my library out. The telescope and book trunk. (They're both being very difficult right now, the shrinking charms seem to have done something odd, but they're here.) So at least I've got charts and ways to do research that might help.
And the cats. Who are not helpful to the research at all, but in other ways. And Alice found me a room that's all mine, so I can leave things out while I'm working on them. It's something.
Right. Things you could do. The kind of thing you were working on a few years ago, the masks, things like that. Charming objects. Even if you can't go work with the twins, they could come here, maybe?
