With apologies for spamming, but this is terrible.

I just realized.

I borrowed books from someone who has since left the community and I have no way to reach them.

Signed first edition books.

What do I do?

[Yes, this is important.]

I am certain they are aware. They would not have happened to grant you them if they had thought you incapable of doing such a thing or thinking such a thing.

It's true that they wouldn't have entrusted delicate things to me if I weren't responsible...

Mm.

[ a beat: ] Did you come to investigate other avenues? Another may be able to return them, if you are unable. If not, it is likely easiest to keep them in, ah, "safe storage".

Well, I can't contact him - he's a worldhopper himself, so normally I wouldn't need a third party to reach his world. Do you suppose someone else could get to his world?

[ex_apocryphas39]

It is possible, I suppose. Worlds do not tend to close if another comes from it, I happen to mean.

I see. |

[ a smaller beat. most wouldn't tend to think of returning them due to logistical problems, but matching timelines tend to be easy to identify if you know what you are looking for. not that he would know or anything: ]

I suppose you are left to protect them, then.

I'll make sure they're in good condition for if he returns.

[ex_apocryphas39]

I tend to think he will be glad for it.

He should. He didn't strike me as ungrateful.
