Does everything change this much? I'm not sure... (He stops writing, unable to find the right words.) I'm not up for this.

(At all.)

Van? I think I'm ready to meet Yfandes if...that's alright? I'm getting sick of staying cooped up in bed.

The walking would do me good.

(Pausing, Tylendel suddenly remembers he has been rather rude. Which isn't entirely out of character for him, but still...)

Ben? Can you see this?

... It would have prevented a lot of problems, if I had not acted as I had, and thus managed to reach him first.

... I have a formula - spell, that mimics it, and might be teachable. But I do not have wings.

[ Which was what he was getting at. His friend had pretty much not been human at all. ]

Him? Sounds like a complicated situation. (The worst kind in his book.) I'd be interested in giving it a go if you ever feel like being a teacher. It would certainly help ease some of the nightmares I've been having.

.... Accurate.

... I can attempt. I may not be the best, and having a third person as... someone to keep an eye out, may be best.

I'm sorry. (He knows better than to pry.) Van wouldn't mind helping us out, I'm sure.

[ There's an exhale, because Duke is pretty sure that Tylendel is aware that they're from different worlds and thus he couldn't have had a hand in any of the things that bother him so much-

But pointing that out as 'you don't need to be' feels like something he'd end up doing a great deal too often. ]

Likely. You can talk to him, and find a time that suits you both. I generally don't do terribly much.

(Regardless, he can empathize to a certain degree with difficult situations. He has had plenty of them in his lifetime.)

What should I call you? Van will think I've lost it if I start talking about the man that can fly in the journal.

... Particularly since I do not believe I had mentioned the spell to him before.

I am Duke.

[tylendel]

That would make it even worse! (He can't help but laugh, though.)

Nice to meet you, Duke.
