Twenty-second Lotus - blooming twice

[There are a lot of spots on the page where his pen has rested as he tries to figure out what to write and how. Then his familiar handwriting starts.]

I do not know how to apologize since I still do not know what happened but I am sorry and I am back! And I would like to see everyone who wants to see me.

[There's more pen resting.]

I have a brother now! It is not worth dying over. But now I have one, and I wanted one. So that is good at least.

I think that I need to figure out how to alter the direction of my kick in mid-air. Does anyone have suggestions?

[spandexisyouth]

I think I need to start taking notes.

[live_ringer]

That or start using bookmarks.

[spandexisyouth]

That would be a lot of pages marked.

[live_ringer]

[spandexisyouth]

Not that I have marked pages.

[live_ringer]

Okay.

Totally doesn't get that Youth is covering his tracks for that one dog-eared page.]

[spandexisyouth]

[Then he has succeeded.]

[live_ringer]

[Deception through confusion and lack of context. Perhaps this is a technique Youth should invest time in perfecting.]

[spandexisyouth]

[It might be the only key in defeating Bell in anything other than spars.]

[live_ringer]

[Preeetty much.]
