She stops staring at the wall and stares at him.

"Okay."

"How're you doing?"

"A little better."

"Oh good. Have you thought of anything you want?"

"It was hurting, so I stopped trying."

"Huh. Okay. I thought of some?"

Permalink

"Okay."

"Would you like to go on another trip out of the palace? Probably not now but once the baby's born."

Permalink

"I don't know."

"Would you want to have people come here who can teach you more about your magic and maybe help you get better at it?"

"I don't know."

Permalink

Permalink

"I don't know how to talk about it without knowing what you want to accomplish."

Permalink

"I want you to be able to start to recover and feel happier and safer."

Permalink

 

"I don't know how to do that."

Permalink

"Yeah. It's okay. There's lots of other people who can help."

Permalink

 

"I don't know if I want to try to feel happier or safer. But I will obviously attempt to do whatever you ask."
