[He was going to send this as anonymous, honest to gods, but then his omen walked over his Omni while he was getting a drink and sent this.]

So what is therapy exactly? Aside from 'talk to someone to make you feel better', I know that much.

What sort of books would one look for to find advice for doing therapy?

Is this even something I should be trying to do for someone?

[That last bit he'd been planning on taking out, but. Omens.]

It's okay. I don't blame you.

[He lifts a hand and strokes her hair gently, fondly.]

I don't really know how to use my blood magic either. So you're not alone.

[tealeafs]

Then let's both figure it out. Learn about it.

[ Slowly, if they have to.

Since Chizuru feels like it sure won't be going fast on her end - though she wouldn't necessarily assume the same about Nara'a. She thinks so much of him, and it's obvious in the way she smiles at him now, letting him pet her hair without resistance. ]

Just let me carry even the tiniest bit of your burden. I can handle it.

[aetherweaver]

I'll... do my best. I'm not... it's not that my friends at home don't care, it's just that they've got their own sort of problems.

So I'm not used to this sort of thing...

[tealeafs]

[ Chizuru does wonder for a tiny moment what that means. The unkind thing to assume here would be to think that they're all so self-absorbed that they don't even pay attention to an obviously suffering Nara'a..

.. but of course a girl as kind as Chizuru doesn't go with that. Instead she assumes Nara'a just doesn't talk about his problems with them since he's afraid of being a burden.

At least it makes him being so open with her feel like an honour, and she continues to smile at him. ]

Well, then you can rely on me from now on!

[ Look at that, some actual energy in Chizuru's voice. It can be rare, considering how shy and overly polite she can be.. But this is some genuine charm more befitting of a girl her age, the kind of attitude she only shows around her friends. ]

I'll let you know if I figure out some more about my powers, alright..? And until then-- let's spend time together anyway when there's nothing too bad going on. I feel like doing fun things with friends always helps me a lot with my mood. [ So it might do the same for him, even when she doesn't have other ways of helping him just yet. ]

[aetherweaver]

[He smiles a bit and pulls her into a loose hug.]

Thank you, Chizuru. You're a very good friend. ... And we should spend more time together. I just... never really want to intrude, and I don't know if you're busy...

... Usually I'm patrolling at night, but otherwise I'm not doing all that much.

[tealeafs]

It's alright! You'd never be intruding.

[ She shakes her head as she says it, still smiling. It does make her words sound very genuine - like she truly would never mind.

Mostly because she's just the kind of person to make time for other people when they need it. ]

Sometimes I'm at work-- um, I work at the Roost, so if you can't reach me but really need to see me or talk to me, you can find me there! [ She's pretty flexible otherwise.. ] Really.. I'd be happier if you came to see me when you need it even if I happen to be busy, rather than you not coming to see me at all, alright?

[aetherweaver]

Ah, that's Manabu's place, right? I can stop by... it'd be nice to have a place to go to after patrolling.

[And with Chizuru he won't be anxious about open drinks. He's had too much trauma with that.]

I'll... do my best. It doesn't come naturally to me, but a lot of things didn't until I practiced them I suppose...
