[a private letter sent to Courtney]

[secretarybird]

Courtney,

I owe to you an apology, and I apologize to you. I misunderstood the extent of your relationship with that goddess, and reacted over-hastily to what I did know; these are foolish mistakes on my part, that I regret

There is an answer to his note. It's somewhat messier than her usual writing.

I thought you wanted to hurt me. You thought I was Her? but I am a murderer and i have been since before I met you, since I was 12. maybe you shouldn't wish me well but I'm not sorry.

I care for your son very much.

The combination of "I am a murderer" and "I care for your son very much" in one letter gives Djehuty a headache. Why can't his son stay small and fluffy and docile and innocent always, and never talk to anyone but his parents, and....no, of course Djehuty doesn't really want that, but he worries.

He dodges the issue entirely in his response.

Courtney,

Yes: I thought that you were her, or rapidly becoming her; that is what I understood by "avatar." I am a god, and must be cautious of my connections with other gods, because they can affect my nature and my son's.

I continue to wish you well, but I know you have reason for anger against me.

Yours,
Djehuty

I would have been eventually, if I hadn't given up.

is alllowed to be angry? You can get angry at us and things fall apart. what can we do? I don't know if I can be angry right now anyway. I'm tired and cold.

[secretarybird]

Oh, gods do feel humans' anger.

Please take care of yourself? And let your uncle and friends care for you? You are much loved, even with things you have done in your life.
