0113: Loss and a Puppy

Bobby's gone. I'm going to miss him an awful lot. I already do.

And he left me this.

Gage

His name is Gage and I... I never had a pet or anything like that. Except our horse, but that's, well, Mat mostly takes care of her and he's responsible and good and I don't know if I can take good care of something like this. I really love him already, but what if I'm not any good at taking care of him and mess everything up? I don't want to hurt him 'cause I don't do things right.

I don't know if Bobby should have trusted me like this.

Well, the good thing about animals, or so I hear, is that they're very forgiving. I think he'll love you no matter what you do.

That's kind of sad.

If something loves you even if you're mean.

At least Mat's here. He says he'll make sure I'm okay.

It is, but I get the impression that it happens much more often than it should. But you're anything but mean, so I don't think you will have to worry about it.

I'm very glad you have Mat, Rain. Most especially now.

Okay. I'm going to try hard.

Mat takes good care of me and I take good care of him. We understand each other.

You make a good pair, the two of you. There's a lot of talk about his month being a bad one for curses, it will be nice that you're not alone for them.

Why are you so worried about me being alone, 'Mana?

I'm not, but I don't mind being alone.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I know you don't mind it, but it's... safer with someone else there. Easier... just in case.

...

Sometimes it's better not to have someone close that you might hurt.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't mean to make an issue of it, dearest, I'm just happy that there's someone there if you need them.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Me too. He's very very special to me.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
And that's something you should cherish for as long as you can.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be maudlin. How have you been, how's the library?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Why are you so sad, 'Mana?

I'm okay. The Library still likes me so I'm happy.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's... nothing you need to worry about. It will sort itself out soon I hope.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Is there anything I can do?

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, dear, at the moment there's nothing anyone can do really.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
That's alright, you don't need to feel badly, it's just... the nature of this place. It often does things that... hurt.

But I am glad to hear you're doing better, might I come over and visit the new puppy sometime?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm mostly always here or at the Library.

Huh... I wonder if I can bring him to the Library with me.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm certain you may ask. There's a dog that works there, is there not?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, but Barnabas is special.

[identity profile] lady-wandering.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose he is at that, but as long as he's quiet, I don't see why there's be a problem.
