Goodness me...
Um... I know I'm new to this city and haven't made very many friends yet...
But I think something's happening to me...Where I used to live, everyone... kind of looked alike and never changed. I know I've been alive over a hundred years, but like the other Kokiri, I didn't change

Over a hundred years, and yet you've not aged? Are you... like me? [DELETED]
Ah, child, I am a woman, and also a nurse. I would be glad to talk to you about this matter. Is there anything in specific that frightens you about the experience so far, young one? Are you experiencing changes apart from physical growth?

Um... well, that's what it is, really. Only it's not just me getting bigger, it's... well, my hips are getting wider, but my waist is staying thin.
My legs are getting longer, and I didn't know growing up ... hurt so much. Is this natural? To grow... so fast? It hurts. My legs hurt, and the area around my hips hurt, and I'm ...
...The skin on my chest seems to be growing oddly. My shirt isn't fitting as well anymore. That part hurts, too.
What's happening to me? Is this what humans go through? Does it really happen this quickly? It's rather painful...

But my dear... do not fret, for everything else is quite normal. Your hips and chest growing and hurting are average for any growing girl. Your chest is a particularly sensitive area, for it seems your breasts are developing. Their main purpose on a woman is to grow and hold milk to feed their young.
[pauses, wondering if she should go into this territory, but a nurse is a nurse and must ensure her patient's well-being] By any chance, have you experienced any bleeding?

Ow... oh gosh, feed our young? I thought the trees did that! I don't even... oh gosh...
Bleeding, why bleeding? Am I going to bleed? Is something going to hurt me? Ungh, this is putting me into such a tizzy...!

[oh gosh this is a bitty bit awkward] Ah, teenage girls and adults go through the menstrual cycle, or in simpler terms, the 'period'. Every month, a young woman will bleed from her [ahhh awkward but it's a nurse's job 8|] vaginal area for up to a week. Then the next month, it shall happen again. It is a normal process for any woman, and it may hurt, but pain medication and rest will aid you during that time if you are to go through the same thing soon.

Oh... my gosh!! What... how do you make it stop? Why does it keep happening? How embarrassing, how embarrassing...
If... when mine... starts... can I talk to you about it?

Yes you may, my dear. ♥ I know it must be... strange. I will help you through it, though.
Ah yes, have I introduced myself? My name is Cecilia, young one.
