Filtered to Mary

[suave_thomas]

I don't even know if you're around...or whatever. I wish I could talk to you. And I can't do that prattling on about nothing thing I do to you when I'm here and you're not because you're here too, just not here here.

I miss you. I miss my Mary. And I saw Amaris in the park today. She was actually going to just leave me alone, but Mara showed up, the darling. And I think she wanted her some angel. Everything turned out fine...I pushed Amaris away from Mara and kept her safe until Caoilfhionn, of all people, showed up and scared Amaris away. Kind of on accident. And she left us alone too because she doesn't want to make 'Priesty' mad.

So we're both unharmed. And Mara knows not to go running off. And Spectre made me feel a lot better. But it was still quite...jarring. I was just in the park. And then I think of what you're about to face and I just...

Just be careful, Love. Be so careful. And know I have all the faith in the world in you and our friends. I love you.

Oh, and happy Valentine's Day in an hour or so...

Isn't it just typical that I should be in beautiful Italia for Valentine's Day, but without you, my love? But then, what we shall accomplish here shall reunite lovers. Tamm and Kay, Deirdre, Kait and Renee... to bring them together again is worth everything.

Thomas... I'm so sorry that Amaris and Caoilfhionn can make something as simple as walking in the park an ordeal. Though I expect you're not complaining about Caoilfhionn's presence this time. She's quite mad, and I should know.

I'll be alright. There's nothing they can do to me for long, as long as everyone else gets out. There's not much I haven't seen before, even if the river of blood happened to be a new one. Whatever happens, we'll all be safe together soon. You'll see me again soon. Hopefully I shall come to you in triumph, and we'll make up for lost Valentine's.

I love you, Thomas, and I miss you. I think of you as I fall asleep each night, waiting.

It absolutely is. I wish I could be there with you. But I have to be here. Peter asked me to be.

No. Not complaining about Caoilfhionn this time. And I think I like Mary mad better than Caoilfhionn mad...

I know there's not a lot they can do to you for long, Mary. But there wasn't much they could do to me for long either, and they still managed to..yeah. And the thought of that happening to you...just no.

I think of you all the time. I'm so sorry you have to wait. I wish it was over too.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

I know. You're where you need to be. Where you're needed. And that's just as noble as being here. I know how hard it is to not just jump on a plane and wing your way here. This is the best way, though. Should this go awry, we need people left who can help. Not to mention London is still very much in need of heroes of her own.

I made David pretty kooky.

Well, there's no need to think about them doing that to me yet. Given the seasoned forces we have on our side, there very probably won't be. It's all going to be okay.

I'd say I think of you all the time, too... but it doesn't seem quite so romantic to say that I think of you while I'm practicing on the rifle range. I'm reacquainting myself with the idiosyncracies of the Colt 2000...

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

True...London does need heroes.

I don't know...I think David went kookier after you left...

Good. Okay is good. You make sure that Saul takes care of you. And I do mean all of you.

Hee! I wouldn't have taken offense to it! What's a...colt thingy?

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

And London has them.

David certainly got trigger-happy. And half-cocked. And lots of other metaphors to do with guns, because hey, what's better for solving your problems than a big, honking automatic shotgun? Not that I can talk at the moment, but still. Mine's a pistol! The Colt... back when I was with Joshua, that was what he intended to use when we were hunting demons. We never actually found one... though we were engaged in the hunt by a vampire. He called himself the Doktor. I'm quite sure I wouldn't have done it, had I been in my right mind...

Actually, I think Saul is particularly interested in taking care of Jude and I. I think he correctly understands the application of bullets to ballsacks, however.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Hear hear.

David's a good man. And a good friend. And wow, guns. Guns are...scary. I don't think I've ever held a gun. Did Joshua think a gun was going to work against a demon?

Well, from what I understand, he's quite flirty but harmless. Still...that bullet thing works in a pinch. Yow.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

David is a wonderful man, and I love him dearly. I always will. I think losing me - or rather, my influence in his everyday life - was more of a blow to him than even he will admit. And he's pretty open and expressive about his emotions. It's natural that he wouldn't be quite the same. I just worry about him sometimes, about what might have been buried beneath me, and now resurfacing. Like his anger. I'm not afraid he'd ever hurt anyone he loved, of course. But it worries me that he might do something rash, if they were in danger. I think he's just lucky to have so many friends willing to keep a level head. And a bounty hunter he can pay to do his dirty work...

Well, for an angel, a gun would be better than nothing. I'd been killed by a demon before. I wasn't in a place to look on them too fondly...

Oh, he's completely harmless. As long as you're not a Templar. Which is just how I like him.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Losing you would be a blow to anyone, Mary. I worry about him too. But he has Aly, who will slap him silly if he loses control. And Peter who does that "what the crap are you doing?!" look. I believe he'll be alright.

Oh, my Mary. Yeah...I get that. Demons aren't my favourite things right now either...except that Deirdre and that Rosa. And my Svetlana of course...even though she is the demon that killed me...

Wonderful.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes. If any duo can keep a wily Spanish man in line, it's Peter and Aly. I do love them.

Of course. I love Deirdre, Rosa and Svetlana too. They're absolute darlings. Even Razvan is making a good accounting of himself these days, I have to admit. I never saw the demon again, the one who killed me. I suppose she's still out there. I can't seem to imagine her dead. But it's all water under the bridge now. There are six billion people in this very large world, after all.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I love them too!! They're adorable. Peter keeps getting Aly tea and she finally said "You are not my tea lady, now massage my feet" and Peter fell all over himself to do that. And then she rewarded him with cookies. Awww.

One day I'll be strong enough to get past my present issues too. Until then...I know I have you and Spectre and my family and friends to help me.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. He could be the masseuse called Sven that every woman dreams of. When Sven makes tea as well, you know you've struck gold.

Thomas, I think you have more strength than you'll ever give yourself credit for. You're working hard, and kicking bottom. We all see it. We all love you. You make yourself incredibly easy to love, Mr. Littleton.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Peter certainly is gold.

Hey...should I change my name to Sven then?! Incidentally..when you get back here (or you know...there) I am going to pamper you.

I do! Well yay! I'll keep doing that then! I think you make yourself incredibly easy to love too, Mary.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

I think I can make do with a roleplay in which I call you Sven. In this scenario, I am the Empress Natalia, of course. The Empress Natalia likes dressing in flamboyant yet revealing black, and carrying a whip. And being pampered, of course.

I believe that if we both continue doing what we do, we shall be endlessly happy, my love.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Uh...I think I can make do with that one too, somehow!!!

Here's to that then. Forever.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

Forever, and soon. I promise. I love you, Thomas.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

And I love you, Mary. Always.
