Firstly, I wish to express my immense gratitude to those who came to my aid and advised me last month. I realize naturally in retrospect that it was much a matter outside of my control. I do not speak to relieve myself of the burden of what happened; I still very much hold myself accountable, but objectively speaking there was little I could do and undo.

So it is better to move forward.

Secondly. There is not much in the way of constructive skill that I can offer to my fellow Sleepers. However, there is at least one thing I've much experience in, and it is with my... affliction, shall we say. It is one that I have had for decades, plus years left unaccounted for.

And so it is that I wish to offer my experience to those in a similar matter as myself. I have methods to keep myself calm and clear of mind despite my worse instincts, whatever wretched impulses rack my body and mind. The fiend within will never be tamed, but our willpower is much more significant than you might expect. Should you need my aid in this regard, it is yours. Contact me whenever you have need.

...Ah. Yes. A third thing.

I seek the aid of others who have some skill in construction and carpentry. I have ideas and some of that capability myself, but I admit I am a bit blind in this regard.

I am attempting to create a place for Ahiru to practice her ballet. I only know what one might need based on her description, but if one more experienced in what will meet her needs could inform or aid me, that would be much appreciated. I have found a building I believe I can use freely.

Thank you for your time and attention.

The notion is noble. You have much love in your heart, Fern.

Allow me to support you, so you are able to be with those you care for.

[laminae]

hah thanks
i don't get called noble like, ever

thanks
i'm pretty terrible at doing this kind of stuff without help
so
i'm definitely gonna need yours

[enblightened]

A shame, for I have witnessed many who claim gallantry and yet fail to meet their own arrogance. Albeit perhaps it is better to be humble than such behavior.

Most stumble in the dark without a hand to hold. I would be glad to hold onto yours, and help however I can.

[laminae]

thanks man
i want to be there for you too ok?
if you need help with anything you can talk to me
