I don't care what you think you deserve. If you think this guy's going to come after you over your powers or anything, you tell me.

_{[End of story.]}

So what, you're going to go live on a roof because you're afraid you're going to hurt someone in your sleep? Not much of a plan.

[shoplifter]

He won't.
He did not seem to care like I was worried he would.


I'm not sure what my plan is. I have not had to have many, in my life.

[nakedsingularity]

_{[One piece of good news.]}

Not hurting yourself is a start. Like on the roof. Tell me you won't do that.

And maybe don't stick your claws in open flames, either.

_{[Cauterizing stab wounds. Jesus.]}

cw talk of self-harm jic

[shoplifter]

I don't like promising things if I do not know I can keep them.




But I can promise that I will try to be better.
I am trying to be.


I mostly hurt myself when I am angry.





I've been trying to be less angry.

child, pls

[nakedsingularity]

You're allowed to be pissed off, but there are walls for that. And dishes. And furniture. Not you. We all got the memo you heal fast, okay, kid?

_[But--]

I know you're trying. I probably don't say this enough, but you're doing good. Better than you were.

Tonight doesn't change that.

[shoplifter]

I break things other than myself, too.

... But I know what you are saying.

I would like
to continue to try and do better.

[nakedsingularity]

_{[She's glad one of them does when she's more or less swinging in the dark, with only the examples set by better people to go off of.]}

Yeah, except you also seem to treat yourself like a wall at times.

You can. It just takes time, I guess. _{[Time she'd be a hypocrite not to give Laura right now.]} Should I bother waiting up for you?

[shoplifter]

You do not need to wait up.

I will appear again. When it's... easier to handle, in my head. I promise.

[nakedsingularity]

All right, Batman.

_{[Wrong superhero franchise, but the brooding temperament? Got that down pat. Not that she's one to deny someone their personal space.]}

While you're busy trying, try not to fall asleep in a tree or whatever. I don't need anyone thinking I kicked you on the streets.

_{[That is to say, there's still a Laura-sized bed with her name on it when she's ready.]}
