[Ford's validation is appreciated probably more than he realizes in light of how things have gone at home with everything happening, but she's going to set that aside for a minute. The reminder that suppressing Ozpin's vampiric traits won't change who he is, though, is heartbreaking, even with what little she knows of the situation.

She knows he likely doesn't want sympathy, especially from a much younger friend, but it's impossible to not apologize for making him dredge up the past.]

I know. I'm sorry, Ford. This is all probably bringing up a lot of old memories. I appreciate your help, though, for what it's worth. Really. Thank you.
