[ ... Oh. ♥ Perhaps between this and some of the other changes to the Barge, this stay will be less of an ordeal. Good User, best friend.]

This is good.

[...Putting into words his suspicions, though, is harder.]

You   did not thrive here. I am [what's the word he's looking for]     concerned. For your sake.

Even if home is no longer   home, you could be   anywhere.

So I   worry.


This may however be inappropriate sentiment from JA307020.

[oh

brb going away to have emotions.]

It isn't. I'm happy that you would ask.

I won't lie to you, living on the Barge hasn't gotten easier. But the longer I'm here, the easier it is to cope.

[what are emotions even what do you do with them]

Understood. [It isn't exactly the reassurance he's looking for but it's good enough for Rinzler, for now.]

It is good you are here. I am     glad to see you again.

Even if the circumstances are not optimal.

It's good to see you too, Rinzler.

Let me know if you need anything. I'd be more than happy to make our Grid available for your use, as well.

[Although she's going to have to roll it back to an earlier version because right now it looks like, well, like it's been reshaped by the will of a depressed insomniac drug addict.]
