So I keep hearing.
Everyone on Earth is so afraid of this mountain, it's a wonder anyone has climbed it at all.

[rehandle]

When you've nearly been an Everest corpse, you develop a healthy respect.

[forcevisions]

Is that why you're not coming?

[rehandle]

Partly because I'm not in condition, yes. Partly because somebody has to keep the bar running. Clarke's on the Oslo trip, that leaves me.

[forcevisions]

Are you on your own?

[ the snippiness makes sense now. ]

[rehandle]

I am.

[ It's going to be a long... as yet undetermined... period of time. ]

[forcevisions]

I'll text someone else about the kidnappings.

[rehandle]

It's alright. If it's not you it'll be somebody else.

I'll be as available as I can be.

[forcevisions]

Take care of yourself. Please.

[rehandle]

I will if you will.

[forcevisions]

Why does everyone act like I don't know how to look after myself? I've only done it every day of my life.

You told me to take care of myself when I'm safe at my place of work in New Amsterdam. You're on your way up a perilous mountain, possibly in the company of people willing and able to sedate, abduct, and transport you half way across the world to embark on another expedition at gunpoint. I don't think it's necessarily a reflection on your competency of self-preservation to ask you to take care too.

[forcevisions]

[ Well, when you put it that way, Dad. ]

Alright.
I will.

[ Happy???? ]

[rehandle]

[ Very. ]

Thank you.

Keep me informed.
