[ He trusts Shaw to tell him the truth on this and make an honest assessment of her own state of mind, which is why he'd asked in the first place. ]
Very well. Mr. Bossie needs a distraction, Bear needs exercise, and I need some reconnaissance of Garreg Mach in Bramble Valley. Take the Polaraoids and use the excuse that you're documenting anomalies.
Do you truly think you're a possible danger to others?
No, but I'm functioning. John found Accelerator's corpse as the fog faded and then I spent all night doing network research to deduce the perpetrator. I haven't exactly had a chance to be not okay.
[ He's deliberately sharing at least some of this to make sure Shaw knows the basic pertinent facts, though he won't be sharing them with Bossie or Carver. John, of course, knows everything relevant already. ]
Then I don't see the need for the dramatics. If you wish to be alone, that's one thing, but you're hardly doing us all a favor by removing yourself from our presence.
That won't be necessary. I've sorted the matter already. It's a complex situation and one I don't want to escalate further. Nonetheless, learning more about Mr. Rosfield and his residence may prove wise in the future.
that staying away doesn't mean I'm ditching you, that not being a danger doesn't mean I'm in good company, and that it sounds like you and me are in the same boat

don't worry, I still know how to stay under the radar. I'll keep him in line.

but are you doing ok?
no subject
No, but I'm functioning. John found Accelerator's corpse as the fog faded and then I spent all night doing network research to deduce the perpetrator. I haven't exactly had a chance to be not okay.

[But not being a danger doesn't necessarily mean that she's fit to be around people.]
who's the perp? if we're looking for a specific person, it would be nice to know details. is he a danger to anyone else? are we taking him down?
no subject

better?

What I'm saying is that I don't want you to protect me, least of all from yourself.
no subject
you're protecting me by offering me a way to stay busy, right?
no subject
And I would like a reprieve from others protecting me. I don't think I can stand it right now.
no subject
so fair enough, I guess
no subject
I wouldn't give you busy work, in any case. That would be insulting.

In all seriousness, Sameen, I treasure you and your presence here immensely. Whatever state of mind you're in, that won't change.
[ Not this time -- not again. He can do that much right by his father. ]
no subject
ok
back at you
no subject
Thank you. And please do keep an eye on Mr. Bossie. He's back to calling me sir again, which can't be a good sign.
