[ It's a few days after the battle and someone's on a mission to check in with the people she's most concerned with. Klaus hadn't seemed like a fighter, though for all she knows that isn't true, and Neria gives him a buzz anyway.
The message comes one night, a few hours before midnight. ]
Klaus? It's Neria.
[ Since the name won't be obvious. ]
I didn't see you out there but I wanted to make certain you're still with us.
[ V is a tad backwards in his concerns. Those closest to him he feels no particular need to check in on. He'll see them, they'll be there; maybe that's naive. It's the people around the periphery who he wouldn't have expected to see that he finds himself curiously circling around in his thoughts. ]
[ It has been a week. V has had time to... cool down. To apologize to Constantin for all the strange things he said and did while infatuated with him, to upgrade his opinion of fair folk magic to 'annoying' with Clary, to hear about the normal lives of 26 year-olds from Lottie. He feels a little lucky that he has people around willing to talk about navigating life with him. He needs it.
He still spends a long time deciding what to say though. Nothing sounds quite right. So eventually he just sighs and says what he thinks of. He avoids the letter format that he might have otherwise used, formality isn't what he intends. ]
You looked so concerned, but I know things were out of your control.
All of our lives are complicated, but my complications have prevented me from building relationships with anyone. That changed when I came here. Everything about it is still very new to me, certainly anything physical.
I'm barely even a passable friend much of the time. I'm inattentive and selfish and dreary and my sense of humor is cruel. And Griffon will never stop heckling you.

I understand if that's off-putting.
