"Yeah, it would. You want a turn? I can get out of your way."

"Will it help? You can do the redmage thing back at him -"

"Yeah, but you're closer to what upset him."

"Okay."

Ruviri shoos.

He cuddles Cir.

Cir clings. "He's so miserable."

"I don't think people are supposed to notice."

"They're not he's being miserable all alone it's horrible."

Hug. 

"I don't know how to fix it -"

"Me neither. Some things might not be fixable. I'm sorry."

"He thinks everyone around him hates him and wants to hurt him and is just pretending to be who they look like -"

"Yeah."

Crying.

Hugs. "I don't think he'd want you to be sad over it, for whatever that's worth."

"I'm trying but -"

"Yeah." Snuggles. "I'm sorry."

"Would a redmage help - not me, a girl one -"

"Uh, quite possibly? Wouldn't it really hurt the redmage?"

"...depends how much it helps."

"If it didn't help enough would separating them fix it or would the redmage be permanently upset about it..."

"Depends how dwindled they are... we take depressed clients a lot, I think we're usually okay even if we aren't miracle cures..."

Nod. "He'd want to read their mind and if he was making them miserable it'd make everything worse, so - probably not worth risking..."

"But it might help, is there anything else that even might -"
