That's another thing I'm worried about. I want them to take their time. To learn how to be safe, and how to protect themselves, and I don't want them to think they're in any way ready to be on their own just because they've got wands in hand, because they're not. Nowhere near.

I mean Finbar, mostly. And Tim and Tricia too. They can put on a mature face, but they're both still so very young. I'm worried they'll overestimate their chances on their own, or with a group like Sherwood. I don't think Richard would leave any time soon, he gets on so well with everyone, especially Danny, and doesn't seem like the type to want to go off and fight. But I worry. About them all, really.

As you no doubt can tell, seeing as how I'm blabbering on and on about it while we could just as easily talk in person once you get back safely.
