Regan,

Jack is safe, as are the rest of my siblings and their loved ones. Scratches, bruises, and burns, but they will live.

Penny was killed.

Jack's mother was one of the ones lost to us.

Thank you for owling. I would have done so sooner, had I thought of it.

Fondly,

Percy

Percy,

I know too well that nothing helps until time has worn away the edges, but I am sorry. If there's anything I can do, you've only ever to mention it (Jack as well).

You've had more than enough to shoulder... I wrote because I was worried.

Yours,

Regan

Regan,

Thank you for the offer.

There is something you can do for us; I hope you won't find the task too onerous.

I find myself in the possession of a great deal of paperwork and just things that must be seen to, but I do not want to leave Jack to himself.

Would you come for dinner Saturday, and keep Jack entertained afterward so that I might make a dent? I would enjoy the company for dinner regardless.

~Percy

Percy,

Of course... I'd like to see you both, and spending time with Jack couldn't possibly be a chore.

Saturday is agreeable, if you wouldn't mind one more guest. I seem to have acquired a very small shadow, and though she is warming to Gwen, I'd prefer not to leave her behind.

Regan

Regan,

I look forward to meeting this shadow. Please bring her along.

Thank you, again.

~Percy
