I had forgotten what it was like to fall asleep easily and not wake up until the next morning. This is the first time in a long time that I haven't felt exhausted. Lisa's also glad for it; I wonder if that satchel's working on her, too

I'm glad you're sleeping well.

And I think everyone must. If we all stayed the same, there'd be no point to it all.

[phoenix_temple]

I'm not trying to start a fight. You were insinuating that my point was invalid based on the reality of phoenixes, when it was nothing more than a simile.

[peoplesprincess]

A useless one for my situation if they don't exist here.

[phoenix_temple]

... Do you understand the concept of a phoenix, Fire Lord?

[peoplesprincess]

Yes.

Good situations aren't going to rise from the bad ones I'm involved in. End of story.

[phoenix_temple]

Why must you be so adamant that everything is negative?! Have you ever thought that your negativity might be what's making your life so difficult?

[peoplesprincess]

I didn't make Cain do what he did, or make Father do what he did, or make this community do what it does.

You're so naive.

[locked. locked so much.]

[phoenix_temple]

You are not the only one in the multiverse who knows pain.

[locked. locked so much.]

[peoplesprincess]

I didn't say I was. That doesn't make it my fault.

[locked. locked so much.]

[phoenix_temple]

You can't control what other people do. You can only control how you react to it. You are obviously representative of your element--but if you continue to lash out at everyone trying to help you, you'll only be devoured by your own anger.

[peoplesprincess]

I'm not lashing out at everyone trying to help me.

[locked. locked so much.]

[phoenix_temple]

Fire Lord, I know that you are a good person, and I have defended this before. I have offered everything I can to help you.

You have returned the favor by starting arguments, ignoring every word I say and assuming that, just because I am optimistic, I am not realistic. Do you have any idea how badly your negativity against me could harm you, were I someone else? It is no wonder others try to harm you when you act this way!

[locked. locked so much.]

[peoplesprincess]

I'm not the one starting arguments. I don't even want to argue with you people.

Don't think that just because I don't want to tell you things doesn't mean that I don't tell other people. You don't like me and I barely even know you; why on Earth would I let you help?!

[locked. locked so much.]

[phoenix_temple]

I never said I don't like you. I think you're very admirable, actually.

[locked. locked so much.]

[peoplesprincess]

[... that actually surprises her, but:]

Whatever. That's not the point.

[locked. locked so much.]

I am a healer. Helping people is what I do. It is all I can do... And it is the only way I can forgive myself for the past.

I offer you my help in the event that you might ever need it.
