I do not need to be thanked. And not with this . . . contact.
[ it's not charles. for rafal, contact used to be something to fear. a sibling puts their arms around you to slip a dagger in your back. a father places a hand upon your shoulder and his magic rots your head. a myriad of death sentences from family.
except nel, of course. but even nel wasn't particularly demonstrative. for the same reasons as rafal. ]
