Quite alright, yes.

No need to worry.

Okay. I was a little disoriented so I wanted to check.

I *do* know it was an accident.

I suppose that makes a difference to you.

Of course it does.

If you killed me on purpose, I'd be pretty fucking pissed off.

But accidents happen.

They do.

Well, thank you for checking in.

[Henry is absolutely seething, but none of it was John's fault. He's actually rather grateful for the text, as speaking to anyone, especially about this, would send him into an angry spiral.]

Of course.

And thank you for calling Arthur. I'm sorry he snapped at you.

I thought I had done the right thing.

Clearly I hadn't.

Your apology doesn't mean anything.

You did do the right thing. He snapped because he was scared and sometimes that makes him an asshole.

It was a predictable move that I foolishly thought would go differently.

What do you mean?

I should have known that he would be irrational and angry.

I made a poor judgement and thought he would help.

It was my mistake to trust that.

...but he did help. *And* he was irrational and angry.

You weren't wrong. But people are still people.

They are.

[He knows he's getting angry again, but he doesn't want to risk the tentative peace he has at the moment with John. It's been nice to have someone to talk to, and he is determined not to ruin it by speaking out against someone so close to him.

My mask did repair itself. It took a few hours and it's got what almost looks like gold holding it together for the moment, but it's back in one piece and I can inhabit it again. It's uncomfortable, though, so I'm mostly possessing people.

If you'd like to talk in person about it, let me know.

There isn't any more to say.

Oh. Okay.
