Well, it depends...flowers work, or making them their favorite food.

That's not a bad answer, I suppose.

Hugs are also a good idea I've found.

What if those aren't good enough?

Sometimes it's all you can do. Hugging also means that you're there for them physically and emotionally and that lasts beyond the hug.

["All you can do," huh...?]

...Maybe you're right. It's not what I was looking for, but the right answer isn't always so straightforward.

Yeah. I think I know how you feel. You want to make it all better for them, to take away what ever is causing them pain and make it ok again, but sometimes you just can't do that.

That's...almost right. I know it's impossible to take away what's causing this person pain.

[She'd have to kill a lot of humans for that to happen.]

But...I just want this person to realize that what's causing them pain is...it's only as bad as they make of it.

...I don't have any idea what to do. This is something that I ultimately need to do alone, but I thought maybe I could get at least something to go on.

Thank you for trying.

You're welcome. Don't worry so much about what you should do, worry about what needs to be done.

You'll figure it out.

I certainly hope so. For their sake as well as mine...

Well, if all else fails...try cookies. Blood sugar cures almost as many ills as hugs do.

[And there goes all semblance of him sounding smart.]

Cookies?

[She's never made those before...]

...I don't know about blood sugar curing ills, but that's...something I hadn't thought of, at least.

Well, people feel better usually after they've eaten. It's mainly to do with that.

...I suppose that's true...

You've given me a lot to think about.
