She blinks a few times first to get rid of the worst of sleep, then smiles weakly.Oh, I- really didn't do a lot. Are you- are you feeling better now? >Xeno smiles and shakes his head.< Charith... you do more than you think. Even if it doesn't seem like much, helping a person in need is wonderful. It touches their hearts and shows them that helping is right. You did a lot. I thank you for it.>Xeno nods as Victus leaps onto the table and cat-naps.< Yes, much better.

Blushes very, very deeply.
You're welcome...
Smiles, still blushing.
Glad to hear that.

I just- I well- I don't know.
Smiles faintly at him.
Oh- I er- I'm sorry about saying about you and- well Victus told me what he was and I- didn't mean to hurt you. I hope I didn't. I- well- am very sorry.

You just made me realize something that I've always hid from myself. It's actually a good thing to know.
There is nothing that needs to be forgiven, but I know it sometimes helps to say this anyways: I forgive you.

She looks at her knees, still slightly embarrassed and unsure how to proceed.

She looks up, blushes and shrugs slightly reluctantly.
Oh- I don't know. I'm just- I don't know. I suppose it's hard to be confident- when you've been useless all your life. I mean-
She smiles weakly.
I know you don't agree- but they've always told me so- and I could never- I'm sort of clumsy- and well my pa-
Shuts up and frowns to herself.

I know it's hard, especially if more than one person says it, but spoken word isn't always the truth. If it was, I really would be a monster, some foul creature that butchers people.>Xeno looks concerned.< I'm sorry if I brought up any bad memories...

Smiles back uncertainly.
I- I know. But I grew with it. And- I really am clumsy, and unfit to be a- a housewife, I suppose.
Shrugs.
No- that's alright. I don't remember anyway. I was just a baby when they left me. I don't- even remember them anyway.

I was just a baby when they left me. I don't- even remember them anyway. Clumsy? That usually comes from being nervous. One is very likely part of the other. All you need to do is relax. Sometimes, that isn't always easy... but there is almost always a way to teach yourself to relax.
A housewife?>Xeno frowns.< Oh, I'm sorry...

Oh? I- wouldn't mind learning that- if you know how...
Nods.
That's what they tried to prepare me for- but I couldn't- just couldn't. I did try.
Runs a hand through her hair, leaving the locks in a complete mess.
That's alright. They- just didn't want me, I guess. Don't know. It's alright.

Really? Well, if you couldn't do it, that just means it wasn't right for you. There are other paths to take.>Xeno frowns.< It might not be that simple. They could have been trying to protect you. Almost every parent, whether they want the child or not at the begining, grows to love their child. I don't think it's that.
