How are you, my dear. You've been on my mind.

I'd like to pop by to see you if I have a morning here ever that doesn't flare up into drama for one or another of my charges.

Do tell me how you're faring?

Whale-like. I sorted out how to shift things around a little last time so my back doesn't really hurt, so there's that.

I'm mostly just restless.

More than a little.

It's been good spending all this catch-up time with Miss Bea, though. She's becoming a proper person and everything, and it's been fun talking with her, and playing 'guess who.' My Snape nose never fails to make her laugh, and she can do a decent Hermione herself. Mind, it's mostly just frizzing up her hair really big and shaking her finger, but it's still fairly funny.

I'm sure it's delightful! Mind you, Severus might think it less so.

And that makes me wonder what one might do to caricature me if one were a metamorphmagus. Ahem.

I'm glad that you are not aching too terribly. Your sense of balance has stabilised, too, I hope.

Are you finding sleep difficult? Beyond the frequent need for the toilet?

[alt_nymphadora]

It's not too bad. I do get dreadfully warm during the night sometimes, but that's easily enough fixed. And Bap has been enjoying his late night constitutionals, but I only really notice when I'm trying to fall back asleep again.

I will let you know if I'm able to make a quick visit one day soon. I hope so. It would be very good to see you and Miss Albia. Perhaps she'd show me some of her impressions! I could use the laughter, to be sure.

[alt_nymphadora]

Oh, please do! We'll make a show of it.

[alt_nymphadora]

Remus told me about Meg.

How she's afraid of magic and the like.

It sounds like there's no easy fixes with any of this, is there?

I'm hoping I can visit or something. When I can get out and about again.

[alt_poppy]

I'm afraid she has good reason to fear a wand after the ordeal she suffered while in custody. Her injuries were extensive, and she was left to heal without treatment of any kind. In that terrible place.

It's a miracle, really, that she's here at all. And a testament to her strength.

I hope you will visit her when you're able to travel again. A friendly face might do as much good as anything I can offer her now. I'm hopeful we'll find her a pleasant place to convalesce.

[alt_nymphadora]

I'm so glad she's got you, Poppy.

And yes. Of course. Anything is worth trying, isn't it?
