[mygoodsir]

But I may accidentally. That remains a possibility.

Well, good. I can't be the only one making notations. But if you think a letter of intent would be appreciated by your partner, I am happy to send one.

Perhaps we will be fortunate enough some day to see the ocean again.

[kobes]

Everyone makes mistakes. I don't need perfection, and neither does Tim. Just honesty, which you have in spades.

I think he'd find it delightful, just like me. You two would get along well, I think. Has Tim told you about, ah
How we share?

I hope so. I try not to think too deeply about it, but it’s an ache that never quite goes away.

[mygoodsir]

I thank you, Koby.

Only that you do. He of course would never divulge details, and I would never ask.

I understand completely. It's strange - I spent so long missing England, and now I am home and find myself wishing for a different sky.

[kobes]

You're quite welcome.

Never? I wouldn't mind if you did. I think your imagination is just as vivid as mine is, with the proper motivation.

That's it precisely. I used to wish I was anywhere else, but now that I am, it's a little unsettling. Do you miss the north, then?

[mygoodsir]

I fear my sense of propriety would prevent asking. As to my imagination, well. You may be right.

Oh yes, very much. I dream of it often.

[kobes]

Oh, I see. Perhaps I'll simply have to show you firsthand. Actions speak louder than words, you know. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Good dreams, I hope? I have a lot of just sitting on the deck of a ship and looking at the stars, which is nice.

[mygoodsir]

Indeed they do. I should very much like that.

Sometimes.
Oh, yes, that is unlike anything else, isn't it?

[kobes]

Another note for tomorrow night, then.

There isn't. I'd never been away from it before, so I hadn't thought to imagine a world without the sea, but...it's very still here. And quiet.

[mygoodsir]

I look forward to it.

It is. Does it make it difficult to sleep sometimes?

[kobes]

Me too.

Sometimes. I've never slept very soundly, but the stillness and silence don't help with that. I sleep better with someone nearby.

[mygoodsir]

I hope you've no shortage of loved ones to keep close, then.
