Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

text - abigail.

Are you busy?

video.

I've been thinking a lot since we were able to talk to people from home.

I've never really been away from home before until now. Not for a really long time anyway. Not like this. I miss the people there, but...

[There's a small pause.]

I'm not sure if I want to go home. I don't mean staying on the Barge. I know that once I'm done here, I'm done. But just...staying in Mystic Falls? I don't know if I can go back to my life like that. I don't know if I can go back to the same people like that.

Does anyone else feel like that?

If I were to go back home, would the Admiral even be able to put me back in the right time?

[strangehistorian]

Oh, yes, I'm sure of that. I've seen him do it several times.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Every time?

[strangehistorian]

Yes, unless he's requested to return someone to a different world or time.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

That's reassuring.

[He hasn't exactly been inspiring as far as his ability to steer is concerned.]

[strangehistorian]

I have always been returned to the exact moment I departed, personally. I have had to visit home for errands a few times.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Now I don't know what's worse, the idea the Admiral can't really steer or that he's doing everything deliberately.

[strangehistorian]

I think he's very confused.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

That's the nice way of putting it.

[strangehistorian]

Well, he's not trying to be obstructive. I hope.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

It's probably 50/50.

[strangehistorian]

I think steering a ship like this is more difficult than we know.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Shouldn't he have figured that out before taking on passengers though?

[strangehistorian]

Yes.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

He doesn't seem to be getting better if he didn't beforehand...

[strangehistorian]

No. Not particularly. But why hire wardens if he doesn't want or need their safety?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I don't know. I only know it from the inmate side of things.

[strangehistorian]

It doesn't make any sense to me. All I can do is rationalize, I suppose.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Just don't drive yourself crazy trying to rationalize it.
