[Compared to Jehan's last post a week or so ago, he looks much better. He's slept, he's eaten, and he's up for trying to interact with people again. He smiles a bit shyly when the feed clicks on, blushing as he usually is]

I wanted to apologize if my...behavior last month upset anyone. I was not feeling well and wasn't thinking clearly. I hope that anyone I upset or worried can forgive me. Ah...and I wanted to thank everyone who offered assistance. I am--it was greatly appreciated.

[Understatement of the centuries. This is followed by some private messages, all of which are absurdly easy to crack. The guy's from 1832. He's just happy he can make the private.]

[Original Amis sans Marius]

[The smile's gone, and Jehan is serious]

I wanted to...to remind everyone that should you feel as I did last month I am here to listen or talk or simply keep you company. I know what happens when you shut yourself away, now. I do not want that to happen to any of you.

[Dorian Gray]

[Shyly:]

Is it too late to accept your offer of that flute, Dorian?

That's deep, man. [sagenod]

...So could you write an ode to me and my awesomeness?

I don't work on requests, unfortunately. Then it isn't true expression.

Damn. It could have been your masterpiece, dude.

My masterpiece will come to me on it's own or it will not come at all. Depending on who you ask, of course, it as already come.

Huh? What do you mean? So you like, wrote a five hundred-page most epic of epics book of poetry or something already? [Leo Valdez: poetry dumb]

Ah, no. That is not quite how poetry works.

Then how does it work, and does that explanation need me to stay put and listen attentively for more than five minutes? Because I kind of have a problem with my attention span.

It is hard to explain, and is different for every person. Still, that is not quite how poetry works.

[oops moment of curiosity over GO ADHD] Yeah, whatever, I was never the son of the god of poetry anyway. Though you should totally hear Apollo's haiku's sometime; some guys back at the camp recited them to me once and they're a total riot.
