There's something to be said for places like this and how they can bring people together in the most unexpected of ways. People of the kind you might never have expected to meet, yet they bring immeasurable value to your life once they're a part of it.

I'm about to utterly embarrass someone who has been one of those people to me, but I'm sure they'll forgive me.

Bailey Morello walked into my life almost exactly two years ago, in another world, entirely unaware of the kind of person they were about to get themselves involved with. That we're still together now, here, is something I can say I feel entirely blessed by. I know I wouldn't be the same here without them, and I wouldn't have survived intact where we met without their influence. I love them more than I have words to describe.

If anyone is holding back from taking a step, fearing building something up that they might lose, just take the step. Loss hurts, but loss isn't a thing restricted to the whims of magic in a foreign land. Do what makes your heart glad in the moment.

[There's a minute's break, then an additional note.]

I'm looking to have some baklava made. Does anyone happen to know how?

Does anyone have advice for how to get children to enjoy school a little more? I don't think bribery is a long term solution but I will admit, this is not something I know much about.

[He had been the sort of child who enjoyed learning and practising...but he knew it was because it was always a better alternative than staying home.]

If it helps, the child in question seems to dislike tests and it seems like she'd rather spend the day in a different class with a friend.

[Or run away from school, apparently?]
