I Would Like Anyone - Student Or Staff - To Pay The Hospital Wing A Visit Should They Still Be Suffering Any Ill Effects After The Events Of Last Week.
I Understand That This Has Been A Highly Distressing Time For Some Of You.
I Cannot Heal That Kind Of Pain As Much As I Would Like To But It Is Often Said That A Friendly Ear For Your Troubles May Work Wonders.
Please Do Not Hesitate To See Me If You Should Have Need Of Someone To Speak To Confidentially.

Well, Now.
That Was Exciting Wasnt It?
I Trust You Have Returned To Your Usual Self Now.

I used to think all mothers were the same, back when I was a kid. Even away from home, she'd still find some way to nag at me. Thank God she never found out about Howlers. Not that I was ever in trouble in school, but she would have used them to remind me to eat my greens instead.

[Yet another fond chuckle at old memories.]

[wavesofjade]

Aha, that is very lucky.

[She smiles, then looks away from him with a sigh. Her expression flickers, falls, and she brushes her hair from her forehead as a distraction]

[That was a 180 in the mood. The smile fades from his face, slight worry colouring his expression.]

Is something wrong, Dolores? I hope I'm not taking too much of your time.

[wavesofjade]

Mm..? Ah, no..

[She shakes her head and folds her arms, fingers lightly clasping over her elbows]

Not at all. I always have time for you. I was just.. reminded of something.

[thegluethatbinds]

Is it something troubling? Can I help you with anything?

[wavesofjade]

[She shakes her head]

No. This past week has simply been very.. taxing.

[An understatement. Certainly one of her worst. What he said had only served to remind her of the things she had never been able to do with her own child. It's still raw, as much as she's trying to hide it]

[thegluethatbinds]

It definitely hasn't been an easy week.

[He can't imagine what she had felt when her son had appeared at her office, but it would be far from pleasant.]

You look like you need some rest. I'll come by the Healing Ward tomorrow instead, if that's fine with you?

[wavesofjade]

[She only nods. It hasn't been easy, though in a different way to what she might have anticipated.]

I would like that very much. I'll see you then.
