Right from the frying pan

Our lives are made in these small hours

Lucette’s excitement faded as Bae-Syl confessed the reason why. So he had family that needed to be treated for this sort of thing… was it that common, he wondered? She pressed against him again, speaking in a sure tone. “You don’t need to think about them. Whatever they are, they’re not going to happen. Not here.” The pixie was playing through what her father had said, the story he told about her mother. Was this sort of thing… pretty common? And their family… were they monsters? It was hard to believe that any Kedieo could be big… let alone big enough to bully her mother into doing what they wanted… well no, not really bully, Lucette realized with a sinking feeling in her gut.

They forced her.

That thought made Lucette feel both angry and sad for her mother at the same moment. She didn’t like being made to do anything… if she had to do bad things like her dad was saying… She wasn’t sure how she’d be able to live with herself. She liked healing hurts, not making them…

Lucy was glad Bae-Syl was willing to try, but she knew he was right. It wasn’t about what he would do at this point… it mattered if her mom could be around Bae without getting triggered again. They weren’t even sure what the exact trigger was… they were speculating based on what they did know, but only her mom could say anything for sure. Thankfully Bae-Syl tried to keep her from getting consumed by her own thoughts with a gentle shover of his shoulder. Her smile returned and she stuck her tongue out at him before glancing back at her parents.

“That might be a pending decision though… look.” Lucy motioned with her nose toward her mother. It seemed at last Bellamy had called, the sound of Gavroche’s voice and the herb, as well as the sudden burst of energy, lulling her into a state of exhaustion. At least now she looked normal again, body rising and falling with the gentle cadence of sleep.

"Talk", 'Think.'

These little wonders these twists and turns of fate
