Ah, hello. You've reached Sophie, but I must be in the midst of something. If you have a question about self-defense or Teachers' Council, leave a message letting me know what precisely you're interested in and I'll get back to you.

...everyone else, do as you do, I suppose.

You are there. He's just afraid. He's a prat too, but half the time he's just plain afraid. I'm broken already, I'm not a hero. So then he's only afraid of himself, not that I'll go away.

He finally rode out some of it. Maybe that will stick.

Why do you people always insist that you're broken? That's - stupid, that's the stupidest thing I've heard -

[ She growls in frustration before she can help herself. ]

It's not- it's not jealousy, it's just- if you can help him, if he can open up to you, I don't know why he bothers with me. He needs me because I'm there, not because - I don't know what to do anymore!

[hollowchild]

Because you're his light, Jade. You're the part of the world that's beautiful and even when you're driving each other mad he's so in love with you it's ridiculous. Everything always comes back to you. Always.

And what happens if I leave? -- if - the gods lose hold of me, I mean, and I go home.

[hollowchild]

Then I'll do my best. But I think if he learns that there's a life for him, he'll make it.

[nukeoleptic]

Okay. I- just don't do that again, okay? Call me, if you think he's going to do that. Or have him call me. But none of that is alright. He's hurt.

[hollowchild]

I know he's hurt. He's bruised, but he's probably mostly limping because he's stiff. He'll be more comfortable if you can get him to stretch.

And I know it's not okay. I'll contact you next time.

[nukeoleptic]

... thanks. That's all I really want.

[hollowchild]

As you say. You shall have it, at least.
