Originally Posted by Chelliephone He was a very wise 11 year old wasn’t he? Or.. maybe 12 now, considering she didn’t know what the young snake’s birthday was. “That’s excellent advice. Both things are important!” You could be happy and not be you, but you could also be not you and not be happy. Authenticity was far easier to achieve euphoria. Or even if you were authentic and not happy… you weren’t the problem. “I like that with plants you have to be active and put in a lot of physical labor for them.” At his question, she tried to cycle through the different creatures in there before eventually giving a shrug. “Not that I’ve noticed. But to be frank, I usually go in there to mainly spend time with my boa or my sister’s corn snake.” She loved all the reptiles, but Sass and Sherbet were her favorites.
She considered his response, before giving a small shrug. “It’s not that I don’t think they’d understand me. I just think that my inability to just… easily accept change could hurt them. I know they’d give me time to adjust to things before more changes come but.. Isn’t that selfish? On my part? If moving forward makes them happy, my feelings shouldn’t have to be something that could delay that. I know they care about me, but I also care about them.” And her silence was just how she tried to care. It wasn’t that she didn’t think if she sat down and laid out everything she was feeling to Papa he wouldn’t have taken it into consideration. But she didn’t think he should have had to. He was a person too, not just a father. “That’s awesome at least you’re able to be kept involved via the calls! But I can understand how that still wouldn’t be the SAME.” Change was difficult, but she was sure both of them would be fine in the long run. And it was okay to not be right now. He was eleven years old currently. Was he wise? Maybe, but it all came from just observing human nature and from learning about who he was and who he wanted to be as he grew older. “Both are. I think you should do you most of the times. As long as you’re doing good stuff, not bad stuff that’ll cause great harm, you know?” Like… Vera should be her as long as she didn’t go to the dark side by becoming a Dark Witch. “Being around plants is a good way to relax for that exact reason. You get to distract yourself by caring for them.’’ Ary tapped his chin thoughtfully. “We can say that goes for taking care of creatures too.” They both were therapeutic activities. “Why am I not surprised you have a snake?” he asked rhetorically with a laugh. “I think a snake suits you. I just can’t find the words to describe why. Does your entire family have snakes as pets then?”
As Vera explained her predicament, the clearer Ary saw it. “No.” It was his true opinion. “You’re not selfish. You;ve been accustomed to things being one way for so long. Having something suddenly changing the way things were is enough to mess with your feelings.” It was enough to drive anyone crazy. The Slytherin couldn’t help but wonder who Vera was referring to and what the situation was but he didn’t push for answers. He knew that people liked their privacy, anyway. “If it’s delayed, they only want you to be happy with the changes and to adjust to them as smoothly as possible, I reckon. I do think it’s something you and these people will need to talk about though. Not talking about stuff just makes people fill your silences with their own opinion of what you may be feeling and those opinions can be so wrong.” Listen, Ary didn’t know where this burst of philosophical words were coming from but he had been trying very hard to put himself in Vera’s shoes to understand what was bothering her. “It’s definitely not the same but it’s better than nothing, right?” Ary reached out to pat Vera’s nearest arm twice. “You and I will be okay.” |
