[He's still sort of wrapping his head around it, but he focuses on the matter at hand for now.]

sorry, no. not in the last few days, anyway; last time i actually talked to him was nearly a month ago.

<tyrone>

Oh.

[He wants to know what Ginko would ever talk to Stan about -- they seem like very different people -- but obviously there are more pressing concerns.]

I thought he came back from Rota with Mike, but Mabel says he wasn't in their car. He wouldn't just leave us in the house by ourselves this long, though.

[The brief urge to make a snide remark about how shocking it would be that Stan could do something so irresponsible is there, but he doesn't consider acting on it for even a second.]

hm. yeah, that sounds like a problem, alright.

have you asked mike if he has any idea?

<tyrone>

[pinetree]

For some reason, he wouldn't talk to me the day we left. I got the impression that Grunkle Stan was riding with him, but that's about it.

<ginko>

[onegreeneye]

that's odd. i'll see if i can talk to him later and see what that was about.

i'll keep an eye out for stan, too. and if you guys are by yourselves, just let me know if you need help with anything, okay?

<tyrone>

[pinetree]

Thanks, Ginko. I think we're okay right now, but I'll let you know if something comes up.

[There's a pause between replies before he sends]

It's kind of hard to talk to her.

<ginko>

[onegreeneye]

[...yeah. That's no surprise.]

give it time. she knows it was an accident, and i doubt she blames you.

but since you probably already know that, all i can really tell you is

[There's another brief pause as he tries to work out how to phrase this.]

feeling that you wronged someone can make it kind of difficult to face them, even if you know they don't blame you. it may be difficult for a while, but it seems like you two are capable of getting past this.
