Mmm?
You okay?
...Mhm.
You haven't moved.
Mhm.
You hungry?
..........Mhm.
Mmm... uh, by the way, we got mail? Here you go, be right back with food.
.........................mmm?

"Desmond, got this at a Christmas party, thought you might appreciate it. Sorry I couldn't meet you there, Douglas Shard" ... ?
A book on mental wellness and health ...?

Okay-doke, I'm back! Hopefully I've gotten a handle on cooking now... What'cha readin'?
A present...
Get better nerd.
ReplyDelete-Sigmund
Thanks, dork. -D. Shard
DeleteI can't believe some strawberry shortcake is calling me a dork when he needs to get better.
Delete-Sigmund
I mean, you know. Thought it'd be a good thing to use some humor...?
Delete...
Anyway, I appreciate your friendship. -D. Shard
It's okay Rider. It's more like how he was when we first met, so I'm used to it. -D. Shard
DeleteWhen you first. Uh...So this is closer to who he originally was? I see. I'm not sure what to think of that.
Delete-Achilles
I mean... it's not like this is 100% accurate to how he is now, er, rather, what we would be like now. People change, ya know?
Delete... Most of 'em. -D. Shard
I suppose...Well, in any case, it's odd to see someone who was so meek turn into something so...playful.
Delete-Achilles
I might be trying a little hard. -D. Shard
DeleteWhy?
Delete-Achilles
Mental health and wellness.
Delete... it's not like I was never "playful," though. I kinda forgot about that at some point. -D. Shard
That's...not good. Being able to enjoy life is what makes it so great.
Delete-Achilles
I understand that on a factual level. It's just
Delete... Aahh, you have bigger matters than listening to some nerd ramble about depression. -D. Shard
You should probably start by not insulting yourself.
DeleteI've seen a lot of familiar faces that I would rather not have. My matters have been depressing. So, talking with somebody has been rather stress relieving. Don't worry so much about being a nuisance.
-Achilles
Bah, if I don't do it someone else will. Probably my daughter, heheh.
Delete... Thank you for the kind words, though. I ... can't say I fully empathize with your situation, but I'm confident that I understand it. And I'm glad you've found a good way of relieving that kind of stress. -D. Shard
Better her than you. You shouldn't believe it just because someone says it.
DeleteThat's worrying if you can understand it at all.
-Achilles
Mmm, I hadn't considered that, honestly...
DeleteThings... happen, though. -D. Shard
Well, find someone to confide in someone about it or confront it in some way. That's not something you want to carry by yourself.
Delete-Achilles

DeleteThanks. -D. Shard
You can thank me by being mentally well.
Delete-Achilles
I hope I'll be able to repay you, then! (please don't be disappointed if I can't.) -D. Shard
DeleteI'm not holding my breath. But the only way you can disappoint me is by being Agamemnon.
Delete-Achilles
Well, that's good news for both of us. -D. Shard
DeleteGood, you're already doing well.
