[That was a familiar family name. Big. Famous. More powerful than his own family, but his parents always made sure their children never paid much mind to politics of the wealthy]
I think I remember that. Beatrice would always run off with the older kids and I'd want to follow her.
You have a good memory.

Not anymore.
[ He waits, of course for the mention of his family. The apologies had been relentless, once. Then the curiosity. He hadn't gone to university because of it - the thought of stepping inside those buildings and meeting with people who just knew had left him shaking on the bathroom floor more than once.
'Mithrun' is kind, even if Emil knows better.]
IRL or here?

[why. how come. how did your family let you. He's naive, he knows, but not that clueless. Things must have happened to Morgan too. But more importantly:]
I can't really say that was a concern. I wasn't looking for things like that, especially not here.
[ He'd add an emoticon, but he's worried that would make it come off horribly. Or maybe it comes off horribly now?
He'll just keep making this message longer and try not to die out of embarrassment]
I'm working as a clerk for a small tech company. I might go into programming too through them, but I haven't decided yet.

Recommendations. Bragging rights. Whatever our families used to do at those parties when we were kids and we didn't know anything.
[ The inheritance feels tainted. But he can't tell people that. He knows some of his coworkers look down on him for it. playing at being poor, huh?
It's complicated.]
I don't have a degree. So it's the best I can do for now. I don't mind. Some of my co-workers are nice, like Rodya and Dante.

[ Unseen, that draws a tiny smile out of Sinclair. He can appreciate that]
Yeah. It's pretty stupid looking back.
[ The town he had grown up in had been a soft place that he used to think was full of warmth outside of school. But even then, not a single one of his father's friends had stepped up to help after the murders.
It said a lot.
Reading the next bit and flustering]
that's. Very kind of you

It's still a lot.
[ Now he's a little worried. Offering that much money online to someone who is still technically a stranger is asking to be taken advantage of! Even he knows that. ]
Thank you. But I'd like to try to do this on my own, and learn to stand with my own two feet. I don't want to keep relying on people and burdening them.
[ It's tempting though, isn't it? To reach out and be helped, without having to do a thing on his own. But it's the kind of selfishness that hurts people and he doesn't want to do that.]

[ It's gonna be the latter but, maybe with the correct events taking place, it'll be the former. This chick has yet to break out of his egg ok ]
Me too. If you just want to talk. Or something. It was good to meet someone who remembers Beatrice.
[ And not like, you know, a random stranger fawning over her murderer, but yes.
And +1 friend request. Does Mithrun accept? ]
