pepper-down! | albus

Al,

in case you don't remember, it's tia from the apothecary. i have attached my rather hasty, and still unsuccessful, notes on my ill-fated Pepper-Up experiments. hope these find you in one piece, and may it be noted that when the papers arrive, the tears aren't due to adverse weather conditions, just my own teenage frustrations. 

p.s, after i left you at the apothecary, i realised it was quite a sudden and maybe rude(?) departure. if you noticed at all, then i apologise, i'm not usually a people person. if you didn't, forget i ever wrote this humiliating addition.

dear tia,

I remember you. Thanks for sending the note along. I don’t mind the tears; I know a thing or two about “teenage frustrations” as you put it. I have a rather explosive temper, so I guess I’m lucky that you just cry instead of setting things on fire.

Your departure was fine. I’m used to people being a little less than chuffed when they learn my identity, for one reason or another. Either that, or they’re entirely too chuffed, which is almost worse. It’s fine if you’re not a people person. I’m not much of one, either.

Al,

i'm glad my notes found you well. admittedly, i am not exactly a pinnacle of calm myself. though i've never found the joy in fire. i tend to fall in to introspective silences and war on the inside. i've found it causes much less superficial damage. 

i wouldn't say i wasn't chuffed, al. you should be proud of your family and their accomplishments. i just felt silly that i hadn't realised sooner. you must have thought me a dizzy fool. though i can't say i'm much of the latter, either, i'm sure you'll be delighted to know. how is your venture in energy drinks going? can i be of any assistance?
