Does this world even have therapists.

Some of the Valar try? They could just erase all my memories of Angband, I might even ask them to if we were on good terms....

That's not really what I meant.

Um, as of recently I definitely as opposed to just maybe have less to deal with than you but my coping strategy is writing stuff down so I can look at it and it's outside my head and holds still.

Problem is that the Enemy can't read my mind but he can definitely observe anything I'm doing with it.

...oh. Well then that won't really work.

Or, I don't know, if I thought I was being spied on I could maybe draw stuff?

I could maybe do that. I sing stuff but I can't do that near you -

...if you want to borrow my weird sense you could still hear yourself sing and you could sense me through enough walls that it wouldn't hurt me?

That might be worth a try -

Okay. Now?

Not right now, I don't think. Not - collected enough.

Okay. Whenever you want.

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you too.

I would try to describe the thing that happens but I don't like picking apart my head for the Enemy -

It's okay, you don't have to, I don't even know if I could help.

Nothing can help but most people who care about me even just normal non-magical amounts can't handle that and like pretending that things can and that's probably going to be worse for you so I can - not let you believe it -

I don't know how to do this I know what this is like but I don't think I know you well enough -

I might be out of autobiography - what else do you need to know -?

I'm not sure. If you weren't magically in love with me you'd strongly prefer not to be lied to, right.

...yeah. I mean, I still do in the sense that if you're having problems the problem is that you are having them and not that I know about them, except if me knowing about them sends me into a spiral now I drag you along and that's worse, so if you have to kind of manage me so we don't wind up in a stupid feedback loop you can do that. If you can do that now that we've had this conversation.

Yeah. I think I might have to do that. 

I will try not to second-guess you too much?

I prefer to be taken at face value, it makes people more predictable and makes me feel better about still being capable of navigating things with people in them.

I'll try.
