For those that knew her, Helen Magnus has returned home. Letters that were left behind have been sent to those that she left them for.

[That's a sigh and then he's writing in a filter.]

[Ashley Magnus]

I've found something while I was out walking, come over and I'l give it to you.

((ooc: A list of people Helen left letters for is here and James just used ghosts to deliver'em.))

James

[She'd had her letter, of course, but that's not her main concern right now. James has been...well he's been like a father to her, in his own crotchety way. And even though she's not good at comforting, she wants to do something, anything to make this easier for him]

Do you want some tea?

[ ashley isn't blowing anything up, no. not this time. she's been kind of curled up on her bed for a while, wondering, hoping, and having her hopes crushed. it was too much to hope for, wasn't it?

james is lucky her journal's been open at her feet or she might not have caught his message for a longer period of time. for a while she debates answering, unsure if she wants to face him. she was so set on trying to get them together. now she's wondering if she shouldn't have just spent the time with her mother and ignored everything else.

too much to hope for, too much to wish for.

when she finally makes her way to james' room, it's with a heavy heart and a face unable to offer even a teasing smile. she's tired, worn, sad, though she's refusing to let those tears fall more than they have already. she knocks softly and then hooks her thumbs back in her belt loops. ]

It's me.

[ she doesn't even sound right. daddy, make it better. ]

[ it's hard to even think of an answer to this, especially after recently losing icheb. naomi didn't really know helen very well, but she liked the older woman a lot and to find out she's gone now hurts, too.

losing people is awful :c

so her voice is very quiet when she answers. ]

She's gone, too?

... I got her letter.
