[nodoka is sitting alone in a corner, surrounded by things that would hide her from the outside world. curled up, she has her chin pressed into her knees and her arms wrapped around her legs, trying to pretend as though she doesn't exist.

[Ed is still wandering about with his two blankets held by his one hand around him. He sees Nodoka, frowns at how she's sitting and sits by her, arm on her side, and throws half of the blanket around her and his arm. He stays quiet, not wanting to ask just yet, wondering if this was what 'good parents' would do.]

[i_m_not_short]

No problem, Nodoka. [Keeps quiet for her, letting her get the chance to relax and calm down.]

[moedoka]

[after a few moments, she relaxes a little - she can see why ed is mommy]

[i_m_not_short]

Feeling a little better?

[moedoka]

[nods slowly] Mhm.

[i_m_not_short]

Good.

[moedoka]

I-I guess I-I seem silly...

[i_m_not_short]

.... You're not, stop putting yourself down, it's annoying, Nodoka.

[moedoka]

S-S-Sorry!

[i_m_not_short]

Calm down. Just, be more confident.

[moedoka]

I-I'm not.. Used to being confident...

[i_m_not_short]

Yeah, but you need to learn to be, so you'll feel better about yourself.

[moedoka]

... I-I suppose...? How?

[i_m_not_short]

Start remembering you're a good person and stop looking down all the time.

[moedoka]

R-Right!

Tell yourself stuff like 'I can do this' and when people compliment it, don't say things like 'No, that's not true' or 'Thank you but that's not me'. If they compliment you, you did something good and deserve it. Don't dismiss it. Say 'thank you' or something like 'I appreciate that', because you're polite all the time. You'll feel better.
