I am incredibly touched that you came to the signing. And got up before
dawn to come. As another nocturnal creature, I know what how painful that
must have been. I blink in sympathy. For that, I hope Loki (your Loki)
springs from the page for you, and teases and infuriates and intrigues and
dazzles and eludes.

But most of all, I hope your friend comes home again, safe and sane and soon.
