Her Mum dying had done her in. Literally, she had gone off the brink, she had died for a few days. She was feeling better now. 'Wait, what do you mean, secrets?' Violet asked, before stopping. No, she meant it in another way. 'What I meant to say was, you know you can talk to me if you want to, if it all gets too much, right?' Yup, that's what she had meant...
Ashley was about to ask what had come true, but after a second or so, he got it. Or at least, he figured he did. So he just finished the cookie, nodding and being unsure about what to say next.
"You know," he started, realizing that the apparently point of the questioning was somewhat amusing. "That's a weird place to start, if you want to get to know someone, isn't it? Usually it's... hobbies. Favorite colours? I guess..." Not that he had a lot of experience in getting to know people. Still, it was strange, and it made him laugh. On the inside. "Oh, but. Secrets?" Somehow he hadn't expected her to ask about them. He'd expected that she would be fine with the answer he'd given, although now he realized that was pretty silly. You tell someone you have secrets, and of course they're going to ask about them. Even he would, and he usually wasn't one to pry or anything.
"You know. Usual things. Being afraid of the dark and stuff like that." Stuff like that. Oh, and that whole thing about how he was actually only about 80% sure of what he looked like right now. At least he didn't have webbed fingers anymore. That was an
awful way to wake up. But he most certainly wasn't going to tell Violet about that, so he shrugged.
"But I'm glad I can talk to you about things, thanks. You know you can talk to me too, right?" he asked, being completely sincere about this. Even if it made him a little uncomfortable at first, he'd found that he felt better when he was able to help his friends, than if he'd just let them be upset about things.
