Dear Leia,

            It has been some time sense Coals last report and I must admit it is starting cause some concern. Then again it could just be me losing my patience. I do not like not knowing where he is. His disappearances never fail to play on my nerves, something that will no doubt drive Mrs.Bently mad at this rate.

           As side from siting around doing nothing I am blasted well, not that you ever ask. I have often wondered why I ever thought retiring would be a good idea, it is not like I am ever going to get any older with my cursed youth, but I am usually reminded by the appearance of an old friend. They always look their age, while my body is still frozen in time, but that is my own fault for choosing this path. However I still cannot help but pray that I will pass from this world before you do. Forgive me for wishing this, but I have lived through the ages tending to many dead companions and you are one of whom I do not wish to bury.

            He tried to have me immortalize you once. I was tempted to go through with it, but out living everything you know and love is a horrible life to live. No Doubt you would have gotten along alright after all you would be with him for an eternity and it is not as if you had much to hold on to, to begin with, but still, it is a life one must choose for themself. You know any children you would have had after being immortalized would not have inherited that trait, but it is something they could attain quite easily, what with their fathers blood line and all that.

             My dear you are in the rare position of truly getting a "happily forever after"

            All you have to do is go to him.


Sincerely your friend
Dr.P



P.S. The Gemini send their congratulation and a promise of secrecy. (No I did not tell them either, but you know how the Celestials tend to be such know-it-alls)

P.P.S. Also the other twelve doubtless already know for that matter.
