[bitten_notshy]

Classes start in a week, so, Fandom, how was your summer? Did you get a tan? Fall in love? Are you still hoping to do one or both of those things before Labor Day?

Any lingering summer trauma, including the omg-island-of-vampires kind? Share. We love it when you share.

Meh. It doesn't suck?

Although I do like being around Ender, but even here, it's hard. It's good for him, but, at the same time, there's nothing for him here, and I'd rather see him becoming what I know he can be.

And don't tell him (or Ben, for that matter), but sometimes, I kind of miss the slumbitch Peter. He's a complete bastard, but he's my brother, and my entire pubescent life up to this point.

I'm surprised you aren't trying to use your powers of persuasion to shape Ender into what you know he can be.

I suppose I understand missing home, even if it isn't the ideal.

Oh, I will be. It's just that, right here, right now, I don't need to do anything. There isn't anything here. Ender is going to jump at the chance to do what I want him to do merely because it is something to do.

It's kind of beautiful in its neat perfection, really.

But it's not home I miss. At all. I could be perfectly happy never returning to my earth, nor do I plan to.

It's just Peter I miss.

You know me too well, Val.

Or maybe you don't. I suppose time will tell on that one.

I think I know you as well as the circumstances can allow. You're different than you were when you left, but you're still you. It's my job to make sure you remember that.
