We sink

A mistake he'd have to face on his own huh? She sighed. Even though he was growing up, she felt that he was still so naive. Especially in the girl department. So he'd seen her recently, at least that's what it sounded like. And Holly had rejected him, which was unusual for her. Holly was always so sweet and...there for everyone else. While Avalon didn't know every little detail, she didn't approve of Riv's approach on the matter. "Riv...you may be proud of her for...well, I guess rejecting the idea of blindly following and thinking for herself, she needs you more then you think."

She turned her gaze over the water, rolling her shoulders to stretch her muscle a bit. "Even though she didn't say it, I'm sure she wants nothing more then the comfort only her brother can provide. She's alone now, isn't she? We both know your sister isn't who she is right now. I don't think she knows how to cope with this on her own...and honestly, I think the longer she's by herself, the longer she feels like she has nobody to lean on no matter how much she pushes and pushes...she may end up growing to resent you, thinking you abandoned her too." It was a mouthful to say, but she had to say it. She wasn't telling him to do anything, just gave her view on the matter. "But then...maybe she won't...it's just a gamble at this point." Perhaps she would go and see Holly soon...it sounded like she needed to see a familiar face.
