[Norton hesitates a moment. If Jacob keeps the file he could show it to other people. But letting him keep it is also, therefore, an act of trust.]

Yes, all right.

From:

[It's not even a thought that crosses his mind. He just nods and opens it up again.]

From:

pharadyne

If you have any questions about anything in it I'll try to answer truthfully.

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

I know you will.

Thanks for - all this.

From:

monsterstoyou

He peers at the address, and, well...

"You seem well enough. I'm glad to see you haven't been treated too poorly for everything."

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

"Not by everyone else." Mostly by himself in the form of a bottom of a bottle.

From:

monsterstoyou

"Self-discipline is good for the soul. Few could argue that."

It's not a goodness of soul he's ever believed in. But maybe he can give it some meaning for him.

From:

"Yeah, but I don't think they meant it this way," he mutters, stepping away to allow him inside. He gestures to Mae, and the pup trots over to her crate and settles inside.

From:

pharadyne

Quick question for you, sweetheart, how did you find out Abel's name? Because Abel thought maybe I'd told you and of course I knew I hadn't, but that leaves a mystery of who did.

From:

[A laugh.]

Someone wanting to start shit and I was happy to play along.

[He switches to video and shows him the note that was pushed under his door.]

From:

pharadyne

Someone who wanted to stay anonymous. When were you given this?

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

After I sent my post.

From:

pharadyne

Mind if I pop by?

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

[He snorts, adopting a very terrible impression of Norton.] Sure, let me just pop the kettle on.

From:

pharadyne

[Norton gives a short laugh at the impression.]

That would be splendid, darling.

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

[He snorts.]

I'll unlock the door for you.

From:

pharadyne

[Since the visit isn't urgent, he politely walks to Jacob's cabin to give him any time he needs to prepare before Norton knocks briefly in warning and then walks in.]

Hello, darling. How are you?

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

[Jacob's playing with Mae at the moment, tossing a ball for her in the small room. She abandons it to run over and greet Norton with a wagging tail.]

Fine.

What did you want, anyway? You already got your answer.

From:

pharadyne

[Norton takes a moment to kneel down and pet Mae's head and scratch behind her ears before he answers.]

I'd like to take the letter, if you don't mind. It's a minor thing, but I'd still like to try to find out who was behind it. But also I just want to visit, see how you are, see if you need anything.

From:

weaponwithoutpurpose

Been flying under the radar mostly. I don't bother people, they don't bother me.

Went hunting a couple of times.

[The paper is still beside him, so he hands it over with no hesitation.]

From:

pharadyne

[Norton takes the paper and tucks it away to examine later.]

I want to give you a gun back, with the same restriction as before. But I want your opinion first. Is it a good idea?
