This is Flynn. Hi!

...okay.

[Your advice is so good Flynn, it's exactly what he needs to hear.

Weirdly enough, it doesn't feel like something that Blue would say. He rubs his face, and sighs painfully.]

Thanks, man. [It's a genuine, heartfelt sentiment.] You're really good at this.

[cahooted]

I, uh. Thanks. [He smiles faintly, a little surprised and embarrassed.] I don't usually-- I'm glad if it helps.

And I... I know how you feel.

[zunesareawesome]

It helps. [An empathetic nod.] It really does.

[But that gets a a confused look.]

You do?

[cahooted]

Good. Good, that's... good. [He feels so powerless in this place, being able to do something feels... it feels really good.

He hesitates.]

Yeah. I do. I have...

There are some things I wish I would have done differently.

[zunesareawesome]

[Whatever it was, Peter wonders how bad it must have been.]

You? Really?

...I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[cahooted]

Yeahhh, I... had a lot of things to learn. Being the Librarian was a very new world for me and sometimes I... [His voice grows a little quieter for a moment.] Sometimes I just screwed up.

Thanks.

[zunesareawesome]

[He suspects there's something more here than just Sometimes I just screwed up, that sentence made it seem like he lost a book, but if he's saying it right now, and the way he's saying it, is like there's something big behind it...yeah. Must have been bad.]

Does it ever go away? That feeling?

[cahooted]

No. Not really.

[Anything else would be a lie and it wouldn't be fair to Peter.]

But it does get better. It really does. And then it just becomes... a part of who you are.

[zunesareawesome]

...I was afraid of that.

[That was terrifying, to be honest, even if it did get better.]

[cahooted]

Don't be. It's... not easy but it doesn't have to define you.

You're more than just your failures, Peter.

[zunesareawesome]

...I know.

I mean, on paper, I know. But it doesn't feel like it.

[cahooted]

I know.

But I think you can do it. I believe in you.

[zunesareawesome]

[Well. If Flynn can believe in him, then there's gotta be something to be said for it.

What did he ever do to deserve such a good friend as you, bro?

Peter rubs his face with one hand, sniffling.]

...thanks, man.

I...uh.

[How to word?]

Just...thank you.

[cahooted]

Anytime. [Flynn smiles and gives him a short nod.]

And hey, if you want to talk or... or if you feel sad or need some distraction, just, you can just call, alright? Always.

[zunesareawesome]

...yeah. I mean...if you don't...mind.

[This is kinda weird because he's admitting that yeah, he feels really sad and he's going to be sad for awhile but...this helps. Talking to Flynn always helps.]

[cahooted]

I don't mind.

You can call me anytime, okay?
