Wishing it would go away

She licked the top of Arian's head, the girl knowing what it felt like. She was often alone, and at times when her mind was too into thinking about her past, had spiraled into a fits of depression and panic herself. But she had been forced to dealing with it alone. But she wouldn't let Arian suffer it alone. "No need to be sorry. It is not your fault. Sometimes our hardest battles are the ones fought with ourselves." She stretched out a bit to accommodate Arian. "As for feeling greedy about wanting someone with you? I don't see it as being greedy. I'm sure your mate loves you to no end, and if he does, then I'm sure he'd want to be with you in your time of need." She nosed her cheek, "Just as I will try to be around when you need someone there for you. I know what it's like to be alone and fighting your demons on your own. And I wish I had someone to help me in my darkest times...but unfortunately, I have been left to fight my inner battles without support."

And they were battles often lost. She wondered what Arian felt when she had to face things alone. But she was sure that she had a pretty good idea. Hopelessness, depression, as if the world were forcing you to the ground and kicking you over, and over, and over when you were down. It was non too pleasant. She stared up at the stars, the wintry wind blowing around them, though where they lied provided them shelter. "If you'd like, I will go and get some more mint for you. I will keep some in my den with me in the event you can't access yours. It's the least I can do for what you've done for me."
