To Those in the Know - Away from Spectre

[suave_thomas]

Spectre is feeling better today. He let me see him, but he's still having trouble letting me too close. He says he doesn't know why, but I think it's older issues resurfacing. (Thanks to Abby's training...)

I've been thinking about what might help. I think he needs someone to talk to about it. Someone who has been close to him for a very long time.

I think he needs Jax? Maybe?

Last time Charon said she didn't want to come. The coma thing freaked her out.

It can't hurt to ask. If she says no, she says no.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

I miss her. I really want to see her but I don't want to hope.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I understand, Stephie. I'll speak to an angel...maybe Aly? And if Jax doesn't want to come, they can say you said hi?

[ghost-within.livejournal.com]

I can do it. David knows how.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Maybe Aly, yeah. And hi... yeah, that doesn't cover it, but I guess she'll know that already. Tell her I love her, tell her... I'm doing the best I can for Marie, tell her... I'm going to go on forever with things to tell her so... yeah, tell her I said hi.

I think I'll be okay with her coming back, I mean, I think I'll be able to let her go but I'm worried will Spectre be able to? He's only just got back really and what if it takes more than three or four weeks to get okay and then she's stuck till he does? Which is probably something you've already thought about I'm just worried. And god i'm so fucking excited now god, Jax, i want to see her, I really really want to see her, oh my god.

If Spectre can let me go, he can let her go. It'll be okay in that regard, Stephie. He's well used to it by now, even if he still needs time to be okay. He'll probably be healed enough to see her up there by then if he still has more to say.

I didn't mean to do that... Do you want me to come over?

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Okay... I'll have faith in Spectre.

(What if Marie realises who she is, Thomas? That scares me...)

Yes, please, come over.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I always have faith in Spectre. And in you.

Do you think that's a bad thing?

I'll be there soon.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

And I got faith in you, Littleton.

What if she does and then she can't let go. I mean she's probably too young to understand but it's her mother. Her real mother.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Good to hear, Marsh. I have faith in you too.

I think she's too young to have a real hold. Otherwise she might have caused me a problem already. But that doesn't mean you don't have a point, and I'll discuss it with Sybella and Rolf before we send Aly to ask Jax. I don't want her to be trapped here either. It wouldn't be fair to her at all. And I know how it feels. I wouldn't inflict that on someone else if I could help it.

Who's Jax?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Jax is Spectre's best friend. She was killed over a year ago. She's Marie's birth mother.

[un-amour-fatal.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, right. I forget that Marie isn't actually Stephie's most of the time.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

She's wonderful with Marie, isn't she?

[un-amour-fatal.livejournal.com]

She so is.
