(no subject)
I think we made a breakthrough last night. After finding out she had made herself quite noticed at the Drunken Kodo last week, I pulled her aside and gave her a stern talking to. No more of this childish business. If she's going to be around me, certain ground rules need to be set. No calling me her mother, for instance. Or telling anyone anything of the kind. It's a small step, but it's a start. Hopefully the start of her figuring out how to depend on herself.
I don't think I've ever been so stern and unmoving before. It... took effort. My actions and attitude toward her may be somewhat motherly... but that doesn't make her my daughter. She is, from now on, only to be labelled as "under my care".
She refuses to call me anything that other people are already calling me. Gave her my old middle name.
BA hardly said anything to me last night. I suppose I was off to the side lecturing Arenna, but still. I could've done well with some stable company. I was hoping Soleina would show.
