Me too.

What has you tired?

[motivation]

besides fighting a dragon? nothing much

[toten_sie]

Have you gotten to sleep since then?

[motivation]

working on it

[toten_sie]

Are you having trouble sleeping?

Is there anything I can do to help?

[motivation]

no

( it's an answer to the first question. she'll sleep fine once she lets herself. once she's checked in on everyone. )

[toten_sie]

Okay.

Thank you for fighting the dragon.

[motivation]

i'd say any time
but i'm kinda hoping no more dragons will show up for a while

[toten_sie]

I never liked the dragons. It's one reason I stayed in Olympia for the most part.

[motivation]

i think they're badass
except this one, this one's just foul

[toten_sie]

They scare me. And I'm sure they're nice. But I wouldn't want to scare them and then scare me and then someone would get hurt.

[motivation]

the little ones don't scare me

( if anything, they remind her of... her )

the big one's a different story

[toten_sie]

I like animals. But they make me nervous and I'd never want to hurt them so I stay away.

[motivation]

sounds sensible

[toten_sie]

I don't know if it is.

Sometimes I'm not sensible.

[motivation]

more than me

[toten_sie]

Being scared isn't always sensible. It can just sound it.

[motivation]

sometimes, being scared keeps people safe

( other people. never dutch. when she's scared, she fights. )

[toten_sie]

And sometimes it just keeps them in place while they die.

[motivation]

sure, or that
the trick's figuring out which one is which

[toten_sie]

The problem is, one is a default. And sometimes you get stuck.

[motivation]

so you get yourself unstuck

[toten_sie]

Easier said than done. And sometimes, by the time you do, it's too late.

Then you have to figure out what to do then.

[motivation]

never said it was easy

[toten_sie]

Most things aren't easy. Or they aren't easy for everyone.

The problem is how much damage can happen before you fix it.
