Oh okay, yeah you’re right.

@Spiritblitz

It was sweet of you to help your cousin though!

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

My cousin had a lot of scary and dangerous experiences that we went through together. It was hard, but we did it! I don’t think Dad wanted me to know some of that stuff though…

@Spiritblitz

I just don't want you to get hurt. I think she still has to decide that she wants help.

Phee! You saw the note first?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I’ve been wanting to get to know her though, and if she is having trouble, I was thinking I could help her.

@Spiritblitz

*Purses my lips*
I don't know about that, friend. She's pretty scary, and even a little dangerous.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

You said she has a lot to work on in the inside, has anyone help her work in the inside? I did that with my cousin. It’s kinda why she and I are close. I didn’t mean to at first, but she said that it was helping her so we kept going.

@Spiritblitz

When someone closes you off, there's not much you can do for them. You have to wait until they want help.

*Phases into visibility with the first word I speak, relaxing on a patch of grass*
Sleep isn't the only thing going on here that's deep. Bad time?

@Stratocracy

Oh, hi there. I don't think it's a bad time at all; we're just enjoying the sunshine together.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

…Has anyone tried to help her from the inside?

@Spiritblitz

What do you mean?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Why do you say that?

@Spiritblitz

She has some hurt on the inside that she has to work through. She actually inherited her powers from my side of the family.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

What about Misty? Dad mentions her sometimes.

@Spiritblitz

*Winces*
She's one of the ones whose sadness is more scary than any monster.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

…could it mean that they are hiding things too?

@Spiritblitz

I think everyone hides something or another. It's just part of the life experience.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

What if it was a really big box?

@Spiritblitz

*Pushes a finger against my cheek*
Then the box would be so big and roomy that anyone could fit, and it wouldn’t tell us very much about the person inside.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*thinks for a moment, then nods*
Right.

@Spiritblitz

*Tosses my umbrella into the air, and it flies into the sky*
It’s a good thing though. We would all be very boring if everything we did could fit in a box.
