Hello, you've reached Wylan.

[A pause, and then a quiet,] What else do I say? Oh.

Please leave a message and, um, I will be with you as soon as I can. Thank you!

He found out I couldn’t read. I was ashamed and I avoided him. He kept telling me I shouldn’t be ashamed because of one reason or another and it finally boiled over on a job.

It resolved because we both realized that our shames should not define us.

So he pursued you and tried to comfort you.

Did you comfort him about his shame?

Re: action

[daturameloxia]

I did, yes. We comforted each other.

Okay. So that is how you deal when other things hurt you.

What about when you hurt each other?

That's when the fight broke out. I told him he shouldn't be ashamed. I did the exact thing that had been irritating me. He said that I had no idea what it had cost him.

And then he almost died.

Was the almost dying a key factor in communicating?

Re: action

[daturameloxia]

Yes. [Wylan leans against Argon.]

Please tell me you see that isn't reassuring.

Re: action

[daturameloxia]

I would rather we’d made up before then but time wasn’t on our side.

Re: action

[schrodingerscockroach]

And was it going...well before that?

We had just found a quiet place to talk when Kaz needed Jesper. I waited outside and watched the butterflies until I realized something was wrong.
