You're fine.

Still shitty of me to push like that.

Anyway! I won't push this either.

Appreciate it. Sorry I was short with you. [...] I would rather not talk about it though, yeah.

Nah it's fine. Sometimes I realize we don't even know one another that well? And I'm not your actual doctor. If it's something I can help with you'll tell me.

Yeah. Like I said, it's all kind of a touchy subject for me. I am trying to be better about it, though.

I believe you. I [...] just kind of got worked up worrying.

I don't need someone fretting over me.

I know, I get it, I really do. I'd stop altogether if it were voluntary. Let's just get back to where we can just complain about our shit and not make it more than that.

I trust you, Raine. Like, for real I do. And when I do an exam for science reasons I won't comment on anything irrelevant.

Fair enough. I might spare you the stories about my brother's antics if they really stress you out that much. I've had years to get used to it at this point. I'm desensitized.

God, no, Raine I'm really fucking invested in your brother's situation. It's so deeply fucked up and I want to see what, if anything, I can do to help fix it. I love to fix things like this. We can solve it.

What I got shitty about was (and ok I'll only say this once and then you can just kind of pretend I never said it) you plucking off your scales.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but outside of giving him a pep talk I don't think there's a lot else we can do for him at this point. Which you're welcome to do. He just won't hear you.

We don't have to talk about it, Jamie.

The more eyes on it the more chances there are we can find a solution. I know I'm not the right kind of scientist but something's already better than nothing.

If you don't want me involved just say so, but I'm talking about it and bugging you about it because I want to. And I know more than the average person about how liminality fucks with a creature's creaturehood.

This might be rude of me but I honestly hope we don't find some magic solution for him. I'd like him to learn a lesson in the end.

I do want your help, but I'd appreciate it if you could drop this one specific thing.

Hah! I promise none of my powers will magically absolve him.

[...] Alright, tell me the one thing and I'll let it go.

Picking at my scales. It's genuinely not a big deal. I've been doing it for ten years and I've never had an issue with it.

Alright. Done and dusted.
