I'm back in England, and have filed for divorce.

How are you, my angel?

[overbarreled]

First off, welcome home. Everyone missed you terribly.

Second, is "congratulations" right?

Third, well enough. We'll be ashore again soon, and then probably quite well.

[disbanderofarmies]

It must have been truly miserable because Horatio even admitted to it.

Congratulations works.

Does quite well mean you've made plans with Cor?

[overbarreled]

To be fair, he's had a lot on his shoulders lately.

Very very congratulations, then.

It means we'll be coming to see you.

[disbanderofarmies]

Anything I should know about?

Thank you, sweetheart.

You really don't have to come if you had other plans, though I will of course be very excited to see you both again.

[overbarreled]

He's been helping me get sorted out. It's fine. I think it's just a lot without Richard's favourite babysitter.

Where are you staying, then?

We'll both be antsy if we don't come see you first. I solemnly swear we'll go have a good time after.

[disbanderofarmies]

Well, now I'm back so all the other sitters can get back to hating me.

Will is letting me have the house for now, so if you boys need somewhere to stay after you've thad fun there is room.

[overbarreled]

Richard's going to go absolutely mental.

I'd hate for us to impose.

[disbanderofarmies]

Nothing compared to what my reaction will be.

You don't impose. I've been young and in love too.

[overbarreled]

I'd be offended but honestly he's my favourite too. ♥

I'll ask Cor, then.

[disbanderofarmies]

I don't play favourites with my children, shame on you.

[overbarreled]

Richard is well more charming than the rest of us.

[disbanderofarmies]

I like Horatio, remember? Charm isn't really my main measuring scale.

Not that I think of him as a child but you know what I mean.

Besides, Richard can't help me figure out how to support myself from now on which I will absolutely make you and Cor brainstorm with me.

[overbarreled]

Ridiculousness, then?

I'll start thinking about it.

[disbanderofarmies]

That just might be it.

Thank you. Between you and me I am feeling a little discouraged.

[overbarreled]

It's a family trait.

We'll figure something out. I wouldn't bet against us.

[disbanderofarmies]

Neither would I.

So things are alright for you again now with everything that happened?

[overbarreled]

We'll get you started before we leave.

Nearly done taking my lumps. Still looking to transfer to the Hotspur.

[disbanderofarmies]

Cor as well or is it just you?

[overbarreled]

I want to see if it's remotely possible before I ask him.

[disbanderofarmies]

Good thinking. I'd be a lot happier if he were on any other ship, really.

[overbarreled]

You think he'll be okay on his own? If it comes to that?

[disbanderofarmies]

Of course. He's tough as nails.

[overbarreled]

I know he is.

I guess more what I meant is whether you think he'd be happy.

[disbanderofarmies]

About as happy as you'll be living on separate ships, I imagine. He will be more cheerful about it though.

Are things still going well with the two of you?
