Blinking a few times, “Bed chamber toys?” was she talking about sex toys?
“Stress is normal, and if you ever feel too stressed, give me a call. We’ll go out and find something fun and relaxing to do!”
At the soft words and lack of signing, the Nix looks concerned. “If you ever want to share, know that I am here and I will help you in anyway I can. I will not push you to share anything, that is something you need to decide on your own, when you are ready. And you might never be ready and that is ok too.” Shifting a bit in her seat, “Well, if something does come back, you have friends here who will face it with you.” She assures her.
“I don’t understand what parents would hope to gain from shielding a child from those stories. One would think it best to share them as a parent then have them learn about it elsewhere. At least parents are supposed to be able to educate. But, then again, I don’t have kids and I’m not around them.” Shrugging. “Scanners are really cheap. Think you could get one at the store for under one hundred. And I actually have one in my office here if you wanted to use it.” She only used it to scan invoices.
“I think there are people who would like to ignore or close their eyes to the horrors that exist in the world. And it doesn’t do them, or anyone around them any favors. I’ve always thought knowing about those horrors and the truth better prepared me for life on my own. Knowing that things aren’t always as they appear and to always be cautious.” She was more cautious now of course.
“I love second hand bookstores. Have you found a nice one in the city yet? And I’d love to borrow them! Thank you!” this was going to be a summer of sun and books!
“Do you not think you’d be a good teacher? Because let me assure you, you’re very well spoken. And first aid is very important to know. I don’t think everyone even knows the basics.” Blinking a few times, “Me? I’m not all that special. The biggest thing I have to offer is my healing. And even then, I’m limited right now to how I can use it. But thank you.” Though she still didn’t see herself as being all that special.
Looking thoughtful, “I honestly don’t know. It’s not something you can control, so I’m not sure how you could do anything. The mind and the heart want what they want. I know for me, personally, it’s been a bit unsettling, but not unpleasant.” She wasn’t sure if that would help or not. “Well, if there is such a mirror, perhaps we can find it. Markets are always passing though the area, maybe we can find something. I’m always at Markets looking for things for my Hedgespinning, I can keep an eye open for you.” Offered the Nix, “Do you think it would put your mind at ease to have such an object? Sometimes the thing we want the most is not what we need.” Just how things go.
“I’ll look forward to it.” If it helped Yami feel more comfortable, she would do it. “Separation?” a nod, “I do, and I’m trained it myself. Not at high levels yet, but fairly close. If you’re able to steal like that, you must be trained in stealth. Which is something that is always important to know. I know we have a lot of intellectuals in the Freehold, maybe a book club of sorts? Finding books at Markets and the such, sharing them and discussing them.” That could be fun!
Laughing, “I remember nights like that, where I rarely had to open my wallet. Was done mostly to survive until I found a home, but, some good memories.”
