Who cares if it's hard? It didn't stop any of us before!

@Meta

*Pauses*
That's a great attitude to have, but not what I meant. I meant that not being seen is a good way to accomplish more, not that we're overwhelmed by being seen.

I don't wanem to like us! Our family is the greatest there ever was and they all should know it!

@Meta

Well, you're right that we are, but why do they need to know that? It's harder to do things when people are watching your every move.

Cuz they always did! Everyone was scared of mom, and you owned the whole world! They should spect us!

@Meta

Respect from fear isn't worth having, Stella. And what happened in the past is irrelevant. What matters is the future. Not what your mom and I have done, but what you and your siblings are going to do. What we'll all do together. You earn respect by following conventions people make. Is that what we should do? Follow along like everyone else just so they'll like us? Or should we do our own thing and not care what they think?

They should show us our spect! I know the stories!

@Meta

*Smiles* Why's that?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Our family is fierce! They should be afraid of us, not laughing!!

@Meta

Why do you want them to be afraid of us? Besides, there were probably more of them afraid for your sister's health than there were who were laughing at her pain.

But she 'barassed our family.

@Meta

*Sighs and crouches down to you*
Embarrassment is a fool's emotion. There's no point in holding yourself in such high esteem that you put what other people think above your own safety, happiness, or health. True self-esteem comes not from the approval of others, but from your approval of yourself. Embarrassment comes from wanting the approval of others, and feeling that you fail to have it. It's not something to ever worry about, okay?

Why'd she fall over and ruin our trip?

@Meta

I promise she didn't do it on purpose. At worst, she's very ill. At best, she's going through a change right now. Sort of like... like a butterfly. She'll come out more beautiful, in a sense. So don't worry too much, and don't feel bad about the trip. We can do it over later, okay? When she's feeling better.

What's going on?

@Meta

We're just gonna make sure Dawn is okay. But I'll stick with you, okay? I trust Sloth and your mother. We'll stay here unless Dawn wants to see us, okay?

Myriad Reality

*Looks at Storm and Stella*
It'll be okay. And we'll get you your magnifying glass another time, okay?

*Flashes a hint of a sad smile before turning my attention back to Dawn*
Okay, I’m going to paralyze and relax some of her muscles. I don’t think that can do any serious damage. You get Sloth.
