Re: DISCUSSION

[ofstormandsea]

I don't-- how could I...? We do not want to see you hurt, anymore.

I exist to take that pain for you! For Ivy! That's.....That's the only role I understand, it's all I want....!

relaxes, hunching over her to press her face to her hair. ]

We-- we are not... helpless... we don't want you hurt any more than you want us. Please understand. We want to share this, not... not make you bear it all by yourself. Because we... care, about you. About your safety.

[it's painfully clear she doesn't understand things like her personal well-being as something to value instead of to discard or exploit]
