'I am the bud, I am the flower, be the flower, feel the sun on your petals, feel yourself opening up to the Source...' she thinks as she sits crosslegged on her bed. At the moment though, she feels more like a weed than a rose

After talking with her grampa and eating something, Angela decides that she and her Mom have to talk, and Angela has an apology to make.

She loves her mother and doesn't want her to be hurting.

She hesitates only a little before she knocks. "Mom?"

Kim opens her eyes, this time she didn't even see herself as a petal of this mythical flower.

But, she'll keep trying. She realizes her concentration was interrupted not by her own thoughts, but by a knock at the door.

She walks over and opens it, feeling both awkward and guilty.

Angie looks terrible.

"Hi."

[angela_edmunds]

Angie leans forward without hesitation and hugs her mother tightly.

"I'm sorry."

[agirllost]

She closes her eyes, fighting back tears as she hugs her in return. She'd been so afraid that she'd pushed her away, that she'd...hurt her in some way she could never repair.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry, Angie..."

A knock at the door. The kind of firm, insistent knock a professional makes.

After talking to Angie, Kim's given up practice for the night. Her mind just won't stay focused.

She hears the knock and goes to answer it, looking up at her teacher.

Hands folded in front of her, elegant black gown, composed look, Mesaana is more composed than the previous day. Her crystalline voice calm, and professional.

"Greetings, Lady Kim."

[agirllost]

She nods, "Good evening, Lady Selae." It only feels right to call her that.

That's about how Chase has been feeling for days, the constant loop of I've hurt her, I've scared her, she'll never speak to me again.

But he has to talk to her and he isn't backing down now.

He knocks on the door.

Kim is still practicing, she's almost felt Saidar, when a knock at the door interrupts her concentration - again.

She opens the door, her slight smile fading as she takes in his appearance.

"Chase."

[_righthandman_]

He knows he isn't welcome. But though he can no longer sense a Channeler by being one himself, just looking at her, he knows everything he's worried about is true.

"Kim--I'm so sorry--"

[agirllost]

"Sorry?" She's confused and steps out into the hall, closing the door to make sure they don't wake up Angela.

"What are you sorry for?"
