I'm so sorry, Steph
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, no, poor guy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, Tep. Get him that Taco Bell, whether the news is good or bad.

Oh, Tep. I am sorry. Poor Kato and you and Tim.

Ah well, hell.
When I was 8, a family with 4 kids moved in next door. Eldest, A, was my age and we quickly became friends. Pretty much, I was absorbed into their family and them into mine (but spent more time at their house.More room.) I basically spent the next 10 years with this family, with an interruption for a year when we both moved from the neighborhood. We got rides, drove to school together. Throughout high school, I went to their house after school to do homework, and the two younger sisters would play with my hair for hours. I had long straight hair, they had short, curly, and/or persnickety hair. They were family. But then I left and they scattered.
Tomorrow, I pick up the older of the younger Vs. We exchanged selfies today, and she's just as I imagined she'd look like grown up. (Always suspected she'd be striking.) I found her a bus to go down to the march and am gonna show her Baltimore. And even though we haven't spoken in 20+ years until now, our emails feel like home. I'm glad to provide her with a home as welcoming as theirs always was.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The vet thinks Kato had a stroke, but he's basically as mobile as he was before, though we may need to help his back end by looping a towel under his belly like a sling. So we're taking him home tonight, but we also know he likely doesn't have a lot of time left. But we just couldn't put him down tonight. So we're waiting for the vet to get all the discharge stuff together. It might be crazy and selfish to take him home, but we are.

I'm sorry, Steph. It is so hard.

And when I say "We couldn't put him down," I mostly mean me. I mean, Tim didn't want to, we were both weeping, but he was 50-50 on putting Kato down. I just couldn't do it. I know that's selfish, but I couldn't.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It sounds like he isn't suffering, Tep. It's not THAT selfish to keep him with you a little longer.
