[It seems eons have passed since he last showed his face on the network. It is a thinner face, one that has sobered considerably, one that is weary of life's trials.]

I wish to apologize to all those I worried. I...[he pauses as memories of his truly humiliating state flash through his mind. Swallowing quietly he continues] I seem to be myself again. I know not how I lost track of my bracelet this time, but I will keep a watchful eye to make certain to the best of my ability that it will not happen again.

[A soft smile spreads itself on his lips, despite it all]

To all my friends – I will be glad to hear from you. And my students - I would like you to contact me so that we may arrange a time for lessons to make up for my absence if you wish to have them.

To those unaware and the newcomers to Asgard - I welcome you. My name is Sir Lancelot, please feel at ease to ask any question you may have, and if you wish to learn self defense you are more than welcome to contact me for that as well, I will be glad to refer you to the right teacher if you wish to master a weapon I do not offer instructions on.

It seems so.

[ this. the every day things everyone takes for granted. that can be gone tomorrow. and the knowledge that someone has to do it, for the sake of the rest of them. sacrifice yourself for the greater good. ]

Just let me know when you're free.

It appears I have been missed so I am engaged in the nearby evenings, I must offer make up lessons to my students if they wish for them as well. Perhaps next week?

[Sacrificing himself is something he can handle. Standing back and watching everyone he loves fall apart, not as much.]

Sounds like a plan. I'm in the middle of a project anyway so that works just fine.

[ there's only so much you can do for everyone else, when you yourself lose all control of the situation. ]

A project? May I ask what it is?

[Doesn't help the way he feels.]

[ oh god, have a sheepish smile because Kate kind of feels like a nerd when she thinks about this 'project' ]

I just got bored, thought it'd be helpful to start...making a list of people in the city. Names, where they live. For the natives who have enough color in them to have that much information, at least.

[ No, but it's something at least. ]

Thought it'd make my job easier, next time something happens you know?

That sounds like a good idea, to me. If you need any help I will be glad to assist you, when my duties are done.

I'll let you know.

[ which means she won't, probably. micromanager what? ]

But take care of what you have to, first, and I'll catch up with you next week.

I look forward to it.
