I Was Just Trying to Help

Dear Daisy,

You’re very welcome. Take heart and have courage dear. We’ll find your brother yet. 

Scarlett looked at the letter in surprise. This girl didn’t know when to quit? Was this a family trait? She rolled her eyes. So what if he was dead or missing….it didn’t matter. He left. He didn’t even try to talk to her, to anyone and now people were worried and Scarlett couldn’t help but feel used. She quickly wrote back:

Look, Daisy, I’m not mad at him. He chose to leave, so he’s gone. He is about as safe out there as he is here. What am I supposed to do? Write to him? What is that gonna actually do? He’ll just reassure me he’s fine or whatever and piss off again. I don’t do whatever this is, so you should ask someone else.

Dear Daisy,

I assure you I will do everything in my power to see to it that doesn’t happen to Flik. I am 98% positive the explosion had nothing to do with him but we can explain that to him when we find him. I’m currently working on a device right now designed to detect concealment magic which Flik may or may not be using but it’s a start. With any luck I’ll get it working in no time and then I can begin searching for him. In the meantime please keep me informed on any new information you receive about him and I’ll do my best to help in any other way I can. 

“Hey, hanging out with your sister must have been fun. Daisy is great! And not everybody has to take a big celebration trip. What’s important is that you graduated and you got to spend time with people you love.”

“Yeah. Yeah of course. It was pretty cool, even if she’s still hiding me away from all her school friends. But I guess I can’t blame her.”

Jock looked at the letter and his heart broke. Flik was an incredible lad and Jock loved having him as a TA. When he had left it was a blow he wasn’t expecting. He was going to let Flik come back on his own but if Daisy was concerned for him than Jock had no choice but to help. He quickly penned a response and sent it to her.

Dear Daisy,

I too am concerned for Flik and I’m extremely glad to know that he is at least safe enough to reply to your letters. Of course I’ll help you find him but are you sure that’s what he wants? After all only Flik can decide if he wants to return or not. As painful as it may be for those of us living our lives without him it is ultimately his decision to make. But I will do everything I can to aide you in your search regardless. Let me know what you need and I’ll see what I can do.

Sincerely,

“I don’t know.” He replied absently. Already, she was less real to him as the swirling thoughts took over. If he really was the source of whatever was going wrong, not just his own stupidity but something he himself was doing, he would need to figure out exactly why that was the case. He wasn’t sure how he would test for that, but that was the obvious next solution, wasn’t it? Absently, he levitated the box with his invention in it and began to walk towards his room, muttering to himself and not even realizing how rude his behavior was. 

Her eyes narrowed as he walked off, murmuring to himself. Yeah, this was definitely the kind of person you wanted teaching students. “Fucking weirdo,” she muttered to herself, clicking her heels to transfigure her skates again. Gogo didn’t really have the energy to keep going with this, especially if his disorder nonsense decided to explode again. Maybe she’d just run a quick complaint by her Head of House to let the school know one of their own is exploding stuff in random corners of the castle. Not that that guaranteed anything but at least then she wouldn’t feel guilty if something went totally beserk. With another huff and a roll of her eyes, she turned and skated off to find the next random happenstance of the castle.
