[He exhales.]

I can't say if it's better if you stay away or if you're nearby as a friend. That's something you have to decide for yourself. But I'll do everything I can for her. ...And for you, honestly. I feel like you'd be good for her.

[wontforgetyou]

Last time I tried to stay nearby it didn't work out so well. But...och, I don't know. I've not got much choice for awhile, either way. There's a bunch of us that are being sent out to deal with some rifts.

[justice_is_blond]

Please stay safe, Jamie. You're a friend, whether or not you wind up seeing my, I mean, Kallian.

[wontforgetyou]

You can call her your daughter around me, you know.

[Family doesn't necessarily have to be blood. He figured that one out long ago, and there's a flicker of amusement in his voice, at least for a second or two.]

And I reckon so long as I make it through the boat journey the rifts'll be no problem. Don't worry, though. I'll be fine.

[justice_is_blond]

[He half-chuckles.]

I'm never sure. It's... complicated, the daughter thing.

[He doesn't want to be an anchor around her ankle. He wants to see her fly.]

Keep in touch, and let me know if something goes awry. I'm not certain of what hep I can be, but if I can find a way, I will.

[wontforgetyou]

Aye, those sorts of things generally are.

[It doesn't really bother him, though, and that comes through in his voice.]

If you've something for seasickness, I could maybe use a bit of that. If not, though, no worries. I'll let you know if something goes wrong, though.

[Pity that last part isn't going to turn out to be true, but it won't be for lack of trying.]

[justice_is_blond]

[Anders is always grateful when someone understands.]

Of course.

[He names a couple of common, easy-to-find herbs.]

Take a leaf of each, chew them together when the seasickness starts, and it should settle your stomach.

[wontforgetyou]

Thanks.

[For his part, he's grateful for Anders being willing to listen to him - and for the herbs as well. That should hopefully keep things at bay if he does get seasick.]

I'll see what I can do. And I'll talk to you later on, then.

[justice_is_blond]

Of course. We'll be in touch.
