[Regis had meant it as a joke, but in hindsight he realizes he probably should have refrained from making it not just because he is still learning of all the changes she's been through, but also because he knows he would not have found the 'joke' all that funny himself considering his own distaste for celebrating his birthday.]
That is the last thing I would want at something meant to celebrate you. Are you having a lot of flashbacks these days?
[Her list causes Regis to wince. There are so many common day things listed. There are so many parts of her listed.]
I am glad to hear he can no longer hurt anyone, but that doesn't help the fear he causes in you. Fear doesn't listen to logic no matter how much we wish it to.
Is there anything I can do to help?
[He doubts there is. Such things usually need time to heal over as much as they can. Still, he has to ask.]
Help by keeping others away while I kill him. I will need to practice binding spells. If he can fight back he will enjoy it. He will have no fight. No hunt. Just death.
If I've my mask on a hug will be fine. If I don't, ask first. Some days I am fine with touch, others I cannot stand it.

Rectangular tables with dinner settings.
My hands being covered
The sound of my voice
the sight of my face
so many little things I cannot name them all
I killed the man responsible. He can't hurt anyone anymore.

If he comes back I will be sure to rip his flesh from his bones and burn it all to ash until naught is left.
Just pretend everything is normal. That will help the most.

Bad memories can fade with time and I hope they do so for you. In the meantime, I will do as you ask and act as if nothing has changed.
That does mean I will wish to hug you once I get to see you again. I hope that will be okay.
