You've done a lot. Always have, always will.

From:

pawper

Really?....

[...squeezes hand gently]

Then I'm glad. That's all I really want.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Duh.

You're....really important.

From:

pawper

I'm glad for that, too. It.....means a lot to be really important to someone that's really important to me.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...yeah.

It really is.

From:

pawper

[keeps holding hand!!!]

It's nice being able to share that, right?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

It is. The best feeling in the world!

From:

pawper

And I don't ever want it to change.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Me neither! [Hugging.]

From:

pawper

[HSKDFSDKFJ YOU'RE NAKED THO]

Ah.....

[h-hugs back, trying not to think about it]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Sorry hon, GREW UP WITH DUDES WHO DIDN'T WEAR PANTS.]

[Yay hugs!]

From:

pawper

[naked hugs in the water, yeah!!]

....hey, Roxy?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Yeah?

From:

pawper

I'm really glad to have met you.

[repeats every doki sentiment forever]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Cutie. '^']

I'm glad I met you too.

From:

pawper

[smiles and lets go, to better tread water]

Geez, I've got a lot of stuff to tell you when you're awake....

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Like what?

From:

pawper

[PAUSES.....]

Like.....my real name.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[=O]

Oooooh.

From:

pawper

I've known it for awhile, but haven't told anyone. Not....because I don't trust anyone with it, just.....it's attached to a part of my life I'm not proud of. I was trying to deny that part ever happened.

But Roxy, the rest of Roxy, made me realize I couldn't keep doing that.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

....

I'm glad. [Smiles.]

It's...it hurts, when things aren't working right.

I'm glad you won't have to deal with that hurt anymore.

From:

pawper

[smiling, a bit weakly]

Thanks. And....yeah, you've got it right. Denying that part of myself was keeping me, the me I am now, from healing. And I definitely couldn't have realized that by myself.

[going to get out of the pool and sit on the edge, dripping]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Will climb out beside her.]

...it's...good you were helped too. Even if you had to go through a bunch of difficult things for it.

From:

pawper

[She studies her wet godtier outfit thoughtfully, wondering if she still has her wolf-y powers.]

Sometimes going through the difficult stuff is what a person needs, in order to understand. I think it was worth it.
