Did you really make Anemone help clean up my office after the shooting?

I didn't force her, if that's what you're thinking. I merely asked. There wasn't anyone else nearby that could help me.

[asitcouldbe]

What in the world made you think that was appropriate? She's just a kid!

[cozmic_travel]

She is only as much of a child as she allows herself to be.

[asitcouldbe]

She has too much on her plate already and you didn't need to add to that.

I know how to handle young people, thank you kindly, and I could stand not to be lectured by someone with barely a few decades to her name.

She's fine. Kindly step away from your high horse, doctor.

[asitcouldbe]

You obviously don't know how to handle young people if you think it's acceptable to ask a teenage girl to clean up the dead body of one of her friends.

She is not fine. She's depressed, and she doesn't take care of herself, and sometimes I even worry that she's suicidal!

[cozmic_travel]

Oh don't be so melodramatic. She won't benefit any from your coddling.

[asitcouldbe]

Concern isn't melodrama, and looking after an unstable girl isn't coddling. Do you honestly think she's mentally healthy, after all she's been through? She needs support, not more trauma.

... If you want an apology, then very well.

I'd rather not have this argument at all. It serves nothing.

[asitcouldbe]

I'm not the one who deserves an apology.

[cozmic_travel]

...

I'm going to be very busy here very soon.

[asitcouldbe]

Anemone's going to be here for a while, too.

[cozmic_travel]

We'll see.
