Assassins and Vampires, oh my.

What a _strange_ week it's been.

If anyone needs me - too bad. You won't find me, because I won't be here and I _really_ don't want to be found. Not right now, not with everything going on.

I find myself disinclined to spend any more time under the same roof as the womanthing who broke me and my father's killer. I ... I just can't.

Charles - I am of my majority now, even here in America. I believe it is time to discuss my departure from all of this. Assassins, vampires, broken hearts that will never mind, all the best of me given and spurned, links, life, death, sex, empathy - it's all just _too much_. I'll take my chances in Spain, or find alternative arrangements here.
