she just she's 13 and she was talking to me about how she's scared she'll never see her family again and you and alex are like the only two who are close to her age and not burning trash fires can you talk to her, maybe? i'm worried she got the idea of having to deal with everything herself because there's very few kid imports and she's surrounded by adults
[oh. Magnus squints. in a way, this is more important than Horse People, which was horrifying, but dumb powers bullshit]
13 isn't really a kid anymore. did you just call the imPort teens largely bonfire dumpsters?
i don't mind talking to her. but i'm not sure what you're thinking i'll say. you do realise that alex and i were both dealing with everything by ourselves by 13, right?
okay fair may was ten when she kicked my ass to the moon ...actually i don't really know any others than you guys? i'm not cool with the teens? thank god.
i don't know. i'm sorry if this is weird but you guys seem to know your shit better than most adults i know. i still havent got that import support group thing up so the best i can do right now is ask someone who is closer to 13 than i am to 50
it's not weird. it's a good impulse. alex and i feel pretty strongly about helping homeless kids if we can, shock. i just mean, as long as you're not thinking i'm gonna turn her magically into an innocent and trusting kid.
it doesn't sound like she had it rough back home, but she did get kidnapped to an alternate dimension. she's going to change, because of that.
i don't expect you guys to turn her into anything i just think you two would be really good influences for her
she's said that, yeah. from what i gather she had a really loving family. she's well rounded emotionally but like you said kidnapped to another dimension. i don't think anyone could be prepared for that.
yikes. maybe you do need to meet some other teens.
no one's prepared for the fucked up shit that happens to them. but she seems like she's doing good so far. especially with how she handled that grumpy dickhead. how long's she been here?
i'll let it happen naturally? feelin like it's a bit weird if i go out my way to befriend all teens
about six months i think. she arrived a couple months after me. she did have some serious emotional trouble a month or so ago. like lashing out in class and stuff, but you can't really blame her honestly i'm just really worried for when she inevitably gets hurt. she's such a good kid. she doesn't deserve to be here, away from her family, under constant threat
you already know kids don't get a pass on trauma because they're too short to ride, archie. there's no deserving, there's just what happens and what happens next.
i'll talk to her. anything in particular you're worried about?
she mentioned to me with the porter being broken she's starting to believe she truly will never see her family again and that might be the case but it's the holiday times right? i'm willing to give her 5% extra coddle if it's her first christmas in a different plane of reality from everyone she knows and loves
i know i trust you to say the right stuff or i wouldn't have asked sorry. all my thoughts are colliding into one giant trainwreck ahhh, the 4am dumpster fire i did not miss you
okay that is just something i tell people when we get friendly because i feel like that's the sort of thing they should know? also did* start an apocalypse
it's the thing that fucked you up most. and you start with it. i dunno, i think that's kind of brave, even though i know that's not what it is for you.
i just think it's honest would you have been mad if i didn't tell you eventually and you found out from someone else? if i was you i probably would've been tilted
well no but the only reason i didnt continue doing what i was doing when i first arrived was becuase i figured 1. it was stupid as fuck and 2. i owe it to people to do the right thing when i have the clarity to know it actually IS the right thing and not just what i THINK is the right thing
