If i am correct would the trauma come from your past, how your brother would bully you? Miklan, wasn’t it? He hates you because he had a crest right?

...Oh, right. That trauma. I’ve just kind of been... Ignoring it. Worked so far, right? Ha... Heh. Eh. 

Bullying’s a word for it, I guess. Miklan had every right to hate me, though. I robbed him of everything. If I’d never have a Crest... But anyway, that’s in the past. There’s no need to worry everyone by dredging it up now, when we’ve got a war to end.

Admitting you have a problem is indeed a good and crucial first step.. now onto the next step. What exactly is the problem? And how has it been affecting you?

Oh, you know... Trauma? Forbidden magic too. I just want to help, and I’m not really sure that I can. But not trying, that’s even worse. 

Look, you... You really don’t have to worry about this. I appreciate it, but I know it’s a lot.

When a nail drives into a fissure, it gets twice as wide. I wonder if there's a crack in your mind that I could hammer a nail in?

Sorry to disappoint, but I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about. Since you mentioned something about minds, I’m guessing this is a subject for the scholastic types to go over. Maybe try asking Hubert? I’m sure he could help you figure out a solution to your little riddle.

How many kids do you want in your future? It’s gonna be adopting tho right? Because you and Felix... yeah.

Kids? Uh, oh boy... Kind of a sensitive subject, ya know?

Obviously, we’d have to adopt. If we have kids. Which I’m not sure about, and I don’t know what Felix thinks either. It’s not something we have to decide right now, and so... We won’t.

There’s nothing worse than feeling unloved and alone...

...Yeah, it’s not a great feeling... Not that I know. Not really. Anyway, uh, if you want someone to keep you company and hear you out, I’m glad to do it.

Yes, you’re right. I shouldn’t push myself. I don’t want to make you and the others worry. (she takes a seat) This feeling of shock will wear off eventually. For now I need to keep myself grounded in things that are real and solid. Do you think Mercedes has finished up any of her famous sweets? Sugar cures everything, especially sadness. // Tumblr I freaking hate you for eating this! But we can just say this happened last week right after The Reveal. //

There you go, you’re looking better already! Mercedes basically always has some kind of sweet stuff laying around, and it really is the best medicine for when you’re feeling down. It’s because she makes it all with love. That, and an unreasonable amount of sugar.

If you’re looking for real and grounded, I could tell you a story or two. Probably about Felix, though. Lovebirds, right? You know how they are.

[Sounds like a plan, since Tumblr is going to be sinister and devour things.]

You know who’s beautiful? Read the first word again

That’s right, you are beautiful! I really appreciate your confidence.

When are you and Felix getting married? //can’t avoid this one hehe//

Uh, time out! We just started dating? I have no idea about marriage with him yet. Not saying that I wouldn’t marry him, just that there aren’t plans for it. Yet. Which isn’t a sign that I think it’s a given either. I know I have to earn an honor like that, and... I gotta go.
