spandexisyouth | Forty-second lotus

[Early on the 27th.]

I have been here for two years now. It has been an honor to make what friends I have. It is not good to be taken away to a place you do not know, but it is made better by the company. I do not know what tomorrow will bring, especially here, but I am glad to be part of it. And perhaps there will once more be singing bananas next week, or a tasty rain. Or mistletoe which means hugs!

But I do have something to say that is not as pleasant to think about as hugs and songs. It is a bit hard to write but it must be written because what came before was written.

A long time ago I wrote that my son was here. I have been calling Spring, Lotus, my son for a long time based on how I felt and what I saw and remembered, and what I was told by someone from my world. I was wrong. I have mislead you all and I am sorry. He is still important and precious to me, but we are not related by blood. It seems that he is one of my students from home, as Sighted, who was likely also Helix, was. I am sorry again. I did not mean to lie to everyone but I did. I can only hope that I am forgiven.

Ah, right.

He's still going to be living with us?

Of course! I would not have him elsewhere! I still love him.

Good. I'd hate to have to find your 'puppy' another home.

I would never turn him out. Especially as the mistake was mine.

It was Crow's mistake. The rest of us, including you, just wanted it to be true.

Crow made the mistake, and I 'ran with it.' Did you want it to be true too, Bell?

We might as well take what we learn and 'run with it' here.

Maybe. It's not as though I wanted you to have a wife back home.

I think that perhaps I should not have run so fast.

I did not quite mean it like that. But it is good to know you did not want that.

You wouldn't have been you otherwise.

At least this way you can have a son without the complications of having actually conceived one.

That is true!

Yes. If he will still have me.

I don't see why not.

I know that sensei has said he would like to keep me in the house, but if you are the least bit uncomfortable with the situation then I will move out, Bell-sensei. I would not be offended. Please be honest.

Do you want to move out?

I. Am ambivalent.

It is not really my house, so I do not have a say.

Alright. Well, go or stay. Your choice. It's my house and I'm not kicking you out.

Thank you. Bell-sensei.

Just Bell is fine.

You are sure? I do not want to disrespect you.

It's hardly the most disrespectful thing you could call me.

This is true.

Or maybe I should call you Uncle Bell!

[The writing is slow.]

If I may have a say in this, please stay, Spring.

... You do not think I am in the way? You could have the house to Bell-sensei and yourself this way.

I am just your student. Do not feel you must house me.

You are not in the way. The house did not feel whole while you were gone, before you came back as Spring.

There is no just to it, or a must. I will not stop you from going if you truly wish to, but I do not want to see you go.

I will not go.

I am glad to read that.
