While Ashleigh considered Paulina's concern gratefully, she gave a soft sigh, and hugged Paulina [color=f6989d]"no, I can't spend my life isolated. I'm Going to have to learn control sooner or later. I'll be okay. I promise"[/color] there wasn't much more that she could say to her friend, so she nodded, looking to Vedika. 

She hesitated, before sitting beside Vedika. She tried to copy what bed friend was doing, but she was sure she was failing. She was just also so uncomfortable, that she didn't think she would ever be able to get comfortable again. [i]if I had know this would happen today, I'd have taken one of the pills[/i]. She knew that if Paulina knew those thoughts, she'd never hear the end of if. She grimaced, and shifted, rolling her shoulders. 

She once more tried to copy what Vedika was doing, trying to merely focus on vedika's emotions then anyone else's. For one brief moment, it seemed that she merely let the emotions pass through her, taken then In, and then merely letting them go through, without seeming to affect her. She frowned, wondering how she had done that. Or was it merely what she hadn't done? Frowning over that, she chased that thought round and round her head. 

Finally, she said [color=f6989d]"I don't think I am doing this right, Vivi"[/color]
