FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org Thank you! I feel like people expect me to be optimistic, so I can't let them down. Not that I'm not optimistic all the time anyhow, but you know what I mean.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org As far as I know, yes! I think I was in stasis shortly before, but from what I know, yes it's gone. One less thing for everyone to worry about! I wish it could have gone another way, though. Taming it, maybe.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org I know, but wouldn't it have been fun?
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org Outdoor Winnie! Do I have doppelgangers now? But no, I suppose you're right. Secret is out, even I can't be happy and optimistic all the time
[Then again, Simon knows that already too.]
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org I don't like being sad. I can't think of anyone who does, so sometimes it's good to fake it until even you start to believe it.
FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org Maybe. And fun, yes, but maybe a little dishonest. And unfair.
FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org What happened to Princess Whatchamacallit while you were in stasis, anyway? I didn't see her around after the first few days.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org Princess FLuffybottom! :( I don't know what happened to him. We were taking care of him up until I went into stasis. I like to think he escaped before everything happened and is somewhere safe and happy.
FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org It's a little late to pick up another madu, but I hope I can find another pet on the next planet. Paon seemed to like him a lot!

Grumpy and serious, really? That's what you associate with me? I need to work on my image.
Actually, that makes me realise how long it's been since we talked.
no subject
Well you are on the serious side. Comparatively speaking.
I suppose it has been a while. How have you been? I hope you're doing well!
no subject
"Doing well". Let's say that I am. I was in stasis for a while. I think it helped.
I wanted to make sure _you_ were doing well. You seemed so worried before you went in.

It would have been pointless. You know that.
Are you sure you're optimistic all the time? That sounds like outdoor Winnie talking.
[Way to babble nonsense, Simon. Or maybe she'll get it.]

How is your bahari anyway?

FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org
She's well! I'm a bit worried about feeding her now, but other than that.
Your madu was a boy? Really? _Really_?
[Omg, Simon.]
