*Her face flushed bright red. “H-Heh, t-t-thanks..?”

C: Awww. You're blushing.

“Look at me, Amelia.” *She held Amelia’s hands tightly in her own, a gentle smile crossing her face. “It’s true, I promise. You just have to see it for yourself. One day. One day you’ll see it, and you’ll know it’s true.”

A: ... Hopefully...

“A-Amelia!” *She cupped Amelia’s cheeks with her hands, her paw pads gentle against her face. “Y-You... You may have changed, but you’re still you! Everyone changes! I’ve changed, you’ve changed, we’ve all changed, and sometimes change is for the better. You’ll learn, you will, you j-just have to believe in yourself, know you can make it, know that you can control it eventually. Look forward to it. Be you again...”

A: I'm... I'm still me. I tried to control it for the past three hundred years. It isn't mine. It isn't.

“I meant to accept yourself.”

A: I have accepted myself a long time ago but this... This isn't me.

“You know... I used to think the same way you do.”

A: Oh my. Oh my.

“Well, you will learn eventually, I promise you that. It does take time, no matter how old you get. You’re unique, Amelia, and no matter what, you have this family that is going to support you. It’s okay to be afraid, but I promise, you’re going to get through this.”

A: Sure...

[opuntie-the-flowery-cactus]

“Amelia, you’re still a kid. You still have to learn to control it. It takes time. I didn’t learn how to use fire magic in a day. I spent my life learning to control it. It will take time, and that’s okay.”

A: I believe in a lot older then you actually. ... It's not a matter of time...

*Miranda quickly got to her feet. “Amelia, listen to me. You’re not a monster. You’re not a disease. You’re you, and that’s all that matters.” *She takes Amelia’s hands in her own, giving her a small smile. “So what if you’re different? This has happened before, yes? They know how to handle it. Therefore, there’s no danger. You’re no more dangerous than any of us! They know what they’re doing.”

A: I'm not afraid of being a monster! Monster have control of their magic! I don't. I'm just... I'm afraid of what I'm. I'm afraid of what I could do. I-... I'm...
