Private to Barron - Backdated to shortly after the flood.

Comrade, I have...

...

During the flood, while I was inhabiting your body, I... failed to adequately evade...

Stildyne kissed your mouth, Comrade. While I was in it.

He has assured me that it will not happen again, but I'm still sorry. I didn't mean to get anyone else's mouth on your mouth.

[Prefect reaches out quickly, to lower Barron's glass to the table.] Comrade, do you ever think that maybe we should find a hobby other than drinking? Do you like swimming? Or Yoga?

[FOCUS, PREFECT, FOCUS]

So... what was it like? Did you get a chance to write down many of your memories?

[Barron looked at his glass, than back up at Prefect.]

What are you talking about, man? We drink the same amount.

[Time to ignore that, by talking about equally awkward things.] I wrote down a bit, but it was hard to know what I didn't normally remember.

I didn't really think about it, Comrade? Until I saw you drink all of that vodka just then? But I think maybe we drink a lot. Fast.

[Prefect nodded, frowning heavily.]

I understand, Comrade. It's... confusing, for someone in your position.

[Barron looked at the bottle of vodka. Even he could see that he had been hitting it rather fast.]

Okay, maybe you're right. I'll slow up a bit, okay? Although we don't drink that much.

[Barron paused before continuing.] It's not that confusing. Being you was more confusing, knowing all that stuff.

Thank you.

[Prefect offered, sincerely.]

And, it's not so confusing when it comes about naturally? Like, when you've never had amnesia, it seems normal to remember all those things, Brother.

[Barron laughs.] Yeah, right. Having your head all filled with junk. I really don't need to remember that much about being a kid.

[buywithme]

Was that how you felt about it during the flood? Do you remember thinking that those memories, of being a kid, were unimportant?

[Barron frowns, looking fairly uncomfortable.] Well, if I went back home today they wouldn't be that useful, right? Not for stuff that's actively happening to me.
