stupid games win stupid prizes

Saren could understand wanting to get better at things. That’s why he spent so much time by himself, he wanted to get better. If socializing wasn’t his strong suit at least he could learn things, like healing and crafting. He couldn’t wait to start learning healing with Rain, then he could at least prove his usefulness. He didn’t want to disappoint his family, but sometimes it felt like there was no other choice. He couldn’t bring himself to fight or be bold like Thalia was, in fact he envied that. She could do things that he couldn’t, like properly introduce herself. He still hadn’t gotten ahold of that quite yet.

Saren’s movements slowed as he processed the words Thalia had said “I want to be better too. But I want to be better at the things I’m good at and the things I like.” Saren chuckled a bit to himself, look at him he was having a conversation where he said more than a couple words at a time. Sure it was to his sister, but at least it was a step. “If I forced myself to do the things I didn’t like I don’t think I would be as happy.” Saren had been continuing to catch fireflies with his paws this time, the fireflies had tasted rather disgusting.
