Subject: Cheating Death
Captain,
When I told you about my dead Master Lorenn, I didn’t mean you should emulate him. I’d like to keep a mentor figure around. You know, like an umbrella or a low-calorie snack – in case of emergency. You always knew just what to say, and you’re not here saying it now, and I resent that.
If my abilities had any point at all, I’d fear the Dark Side. But let’s face it, I’ll never have any power. All there is is the fact that weird things happen to me and the worst one happened to you. It wasn’t me being close that did it, was it?
You could always talk me down when I got twisted up like this. Maybe I never thanked you for that. I can thank you now, but I’ve seen you cheat death before. I think I’ll wait for a face to face.
You might not know this about me, but I can wait.
Your friend, across any distance,
Guss
