"Yes, little bastard left a chimerical 'gift' on the lawn, but he was cute. I should visit Firnost.....assuming I ever become a free man from this paper work"

"But you've been. Do you mean again?"

"Again" He confirms "But it's been awhile."

August nods. "I've only been.... I guess it was the end of the semester."

"We should both visit, maybe drop by your and Derwynd's house but pause for a tea or the like"

He nods. "Not a bad idea. Once.... well, once people are back."

"Yes," A sigh "Oh well, busy hands help ease troubled minds I Hope"

A sigh. "I'm afraid, Magnus, if that were the case, I'd never be anxious."

"oh sure, cheer me up" A weak smile "Well, fine. We'll miss her together while we work then"

And work they do... and while August may still be somewhat miserable- at least it is productive. And he does have company.
