"W-well, then, I am h-happy I c-can o-o-o-oblige in t-that t-then" Nessie said, glancing up at him. She didn't shake his hand off, but she let her hair fall across her face slightly, "B-but I t-think the s-s-s-s-stuttering is a part of m-me as m-much as E-e-e-elpis and V-v-v-v-v-viper" She shrugged
Caits said
Haha. its hidden even from Nessie herself.

Caits said
mmm. Well, there is another reason why she stutters, but that will spoil it too much...and now I feel like evil laughing.

I wouldn't normally be pointing out flaws by the way, but since you felt the need to play up something like that and got my expectations high, I feel the need to put holes in it.

Nessie blinked and swallowed. Wonderful conversation? With her? How could that be? Were people just trying to be nice? She didn't know, couldn't tell. She hesitated before speaking, "S-s-s-sometimes it g-g-gets s-so bad I j-just c-c-can't continue s-s-speaking and then I t-think that people t-think I am s-s-stupid" She looked up, and shrugged. "M-my f-father s-said I d-didn't s-s-stutter when I was a t-toddler, and j-just learning to talk. He s-s-says it h=happened after my m-mother d-died and I didn't t-talk for w-weeks. he s-said that it was s-s-strange b-because I was a v-very talkative c-child. H-he would j-joke that he and my m-mother said they r-regretted teaching me to t-talk, b-because I n-never s-shut up" Nessie said softly, as she talked her stutter seemed to lesson, as she told this story, and she smiled, then sighed, "W-when I started talking again, the s-s-stutter was t-there my dad s-s-said, and has been every s-since"
