hah, i wish

i'm mostly just tired
coming back from the dead is hard, y'know?

[And emotionally exhausted, but he's trying really hard to not dump that on anyone else.]

[creidim]

I understand that quite a bit. I don't think I've quite forgotten what it's like.

[ She 'gets it', Fern. ]

Do you need anything? I can bring you something, if you'd like. Or even if you'd just like some company. It's good to talk if you need to.

[laminae]

[It's selfish, but he's glad she gets it. He doesn't have to pretend it isn't as bad as it actually is.]

right, yeah
i'm mostly trying not to think about it
what happened was kind of complicated and i just want to get past it

i'm ok
good thing about being a plant is i only need water, dirt and sunlight

[creidim]

I'm sorry it was complicated. But don't forget, as important it is to move past it and not dwell on it, it's equally just as important to address it too. You know?

That's true. I hope you're taking care to get plenty of those things.

What if I brought Helga round for a visit?

[laminae]

if i really can't handle it i'll stick it all in my mental vault, it's fine

yeah
the treehouse is way better than my house ever was for that

uh ok
maybe when i'm feeling a little better?

[creidim]

A mental vault? Is that figurative or literal?

[ She's curious. Not to mention having a literal vault to store memories and things in would be quite fascinating. ]

Of course, just tell me when you're feeling well enough to be ready for visitors and I'll bring her over with me. Maybe we can go for a short walk if you feel up to it.

[laminae]

uhhh the first one i think
it's like a mental space i can lock up stuff i can't handle so it isn't a problem anymore

[... The literal kind would be infinitely healthier.]

yeah ok
we can see if i am

[He doubts he will be.]

[creidim]

That sounds quite useful. Although it's probably not a good idea to use it all the time, you know? Sometimes we have to deal with the hard things.

Don't worry about it if you can't. Just whenever you're ready. :)

[ There's plenty of time for walks. ]

[laminae]

it's never steered me wrong yet

[Sorry Luna, he's always been adamantly against opening the vault.]

thanks
