Oh gosh-

You, Trinket, do not need to work to be worthy of forgiveness or love or any of those things. The fact that you feel the need to be better and are so scared about not being worthy in the first place is enough to be worthy of it. You're doing your best and that's more than enough. Go treat yourself to something you like, you deserve it after all this. And yes, I am sure of that. And no, it isn't undeserved or wrong. You're amazing because you're you, and still surviving.

Also maybe drink water,

Thank you, but why should I be the one being comforted…? Shouldn’t we be helping Pips? HE was the one MURDERED, not me..

You always will be. *leaves* -z

"Perhaps that's how it should be..."

[whatoddities]

Don't I? It doesn't matter whether they meet or not. The longer this goes on, the less they'll care about you, and the more they'll just want to keep the other from having you. They'll grow angrier and angrier, until they both would rather see you broken than with the other. So yes, I'd rather see them abandon you. At least then they'd leave you whole. -z

"Then I'll just have to make sure they don't break me, won't I?" she muttered weakly. The thought of being fought over and tormented by men she cared for drained her of any previous contentment she had felt. Now her stomach was heavy with an overall feeling of illness and she had to bite the inside of her cheeks to keep from crying.

"Leave me be, grey mage. I want to be alone."

[whatoddities]

Maybe not, but those two don't know that. Silas found you amusing, something different, so he smiled and decided to play along, until he gets bored, at least. And Will, though he clearly doesn't want you, can't stand the thought of someone else touching what he thinks is his. So they'll fight over you. Not as a woman, but as a thing, a possession. And you know what happens toys when kids fight over them. -z

"You don't know what you're talking about," she replied, but her voice was weak. A part of her believed the figure. Because why else would someone like Silas have decided to spend time with her? She told herself it was because he liked her, because he had feelings for her. He had told her that, hadn't he? Confessed that he thought of her often, and missed her when he was gone. Surely that meant the mage's words were empty?

But why else would Will have suddenly returned to her life? Because he honestly cared for her, or because he just didn't want Silas to have her? 

[whatoddities]

Oh, if only it were that simple. You don't just have to worry about keeping Silas from getting angry. You have to worry about keeping him from getting /bored/. What's the fun of a toy if it isn't entertaining anymore? -z

"I am no toy, grey mage."

[whatoddities]

And yet Will isn't interested in you. And Silas scares you. As long as you do everything right, it's fine, but the moment you slip up, make him angry... what will happen then? He'll burn you. -z

"If Will isn't interested in me, then there's nothing I can do. So... why continue to dwell on what won't happen?" she asked with a frown, her brows slightly curved in anger.

"I don't -- I don't think Silas would hurt me like that. I... trust him enough not to burn me when he becomes angered. Nor do I intend to ever make him so angry that would be a possibility."

[whatoddities]

Well, no, I don't think it would make you happy, but the consequences would be far less severe. Hm... how to put it... Silas seems rather attached to you, no? And Will seems concerned for you because he thinks you aren't happy, right? -z

"Less severe?" she repeated and then sighed. "Uh, aye, I guess you could say Silas is... attached to me, and Will does seem rather concerned..."
