Well, it’s done…I hope. I went out to see Dusty tonight, spent some time talking to her and Leo. I presented her with the idea of her taking over leading the Council and she agreed in typical, quiet Dusty fashion. I know T isn’t one much for talking about private things to others, but Dusty ad Leo are closer to me than most of my own family here in town and she has always given great counsel. I told her that, right now, T needs me. And while I am glad to still sit on it, taking the main chair will mean too little freedom to do as I need to while T is dealing with the emotional wounds left by Jago. She understood, of course. I think that she might be a better choice anyway, given all her contacts in the area.
Leo tonight was another matter. he was distant and not overly friendly as he usually is. T says she suspects that they may have finally taken the last step of the bond and if so that would explain it. The first days after doing so can be rough as the blood makes you suspect everyone that says hello to your mate and give a roaring jealousy its freedom. In time, he will get used to it as it settles in. I feel for the guy though, I’ve been there. I still am but it has mellowed at least. In my case I was even so insanely jealous of a memory , of Terrence, that I could not even say his name but I have finally exorcised that one demon at least.
On a side note, Djivan is in town and while I had some business the other night, he waited for T at the shop to drive her to the Blue Note where we were all to meet. She commented that he had an odd sense of humour. Yes, I will agree with that wholeheartedly. Come to think of it, she said little else, though they seemed to get along well enough. Djivan usually appears larger-than-life and people either immediately love him or run from him, so her casual response is curious. I think, perhaps, this is something I should ask about.
