  1. (12:16:05 PM) threadTreader: What did you say, then?
  2. (12:16:15 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Before you Scratched, how long had you two known eachother?
  3. (12:16:36 PM) ventricularPipefitter: How long had you been together?
  4. (12:17:05 PM) threadTreader: Hmm. I had known her for some time. And we had been together for somewhere near two weeks when I left.
  5. (12:19:51 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Tell me, do trolls have a policy of expressing concern and reservation when people they care about shack up too quickly?
  6. (12:21:16 PM) threadTreader: Generally it is the role of a moirail to express concern. Seeing as you are as close to her as you are, it is a legitimate concern.
  7. (12:21:58 PM) threadTreader: However, most would see moirallegiance as a positive thing, especially when it comes to seeing a highblood being given much-needed support.
  8. (12:24:45 PM) ventricularPipefitter: So what's the difference between 'moirail support' and 'moral support,' here? You don't have to know her for very long at all to see how Skye reaches out to love the whole world.
  9. (12:27:26 PM) threadTreader: The difference is that I support her back.
  10. (12:27:46 PM) threadTreader: Too many people selfishly take her support without questioning her own emotional wellbeing. I saw her breaking from the strain of it all, and I helped her to cope with it.
  11. (12:32:20 PM) threadTreader: To be frank, her support network before I stepped in was not exactly as reliable as it could be.
  12. (12:32:27 PM) ventricularPipefitter: We're there for her. I and Vitt and Cogs and Violet, we're there for her. Mislul and the other replayers, they're there for her too.
  13. (12:32:39 PM) threadTreader: Then you were all letting her down.
  14. (12:37:14 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Who are you to say that.
  15. (12:38:08 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Who are you to say that we don't love her.
  16. (12:38:17 PM) threadTreader: I did not say that.
  17. (12:38:22 PM) threadTreader: I said you let her down.
  18. (12:38:33 PM) threadTreader: You were not supporting her as she needed to be supported.
  19. (12:38:48 PM) threadTreader: Even if you were there for her, you were blind to her suffering, to her /need/.
  20. (12:39:46 PM) threadTreader: I say this as her moirail. The one who talks to her and comforts her and listens to all her little fears, the one who made it so she could function when Logica was lost to the v d and Githra was corrupted. I give her hope, I help her take care of herself, I try to bring her happiness.
  21. (12:40:01 PM) threadTreader: I am completely, absolutely devoted to helping her.
  22. (12:40:12 PM) threadTreader: And I am /there/ for her.
  23. (12:40:37 PM) threadTreader: To support her, until such a point where she decides she no longer wishes for me to be around.
  24. (12:40:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Easy for you to say /now/. Five years in the middle of nowhere with nothing else to do.
  25. (12:41:12 PM) threadTreader: Your concern is valid.
  26. (12:41:18 PM) threadTreader: Let me prove myself, then.
  27. (12:41:59 PM) threadTreader: What will it take for you to accept that I am not simply engaging in a flight of fancy by taking an interest in her wellbeing?
  28. (12:44:14 PM) ventricularPipefitter: How many people do you think are on a personal-name basis with Skye?
  29. (12:48:17 PM) threadTreader: You. Cole. Vitt. Violet. Myra, wherever she is, and it is breaking Skye's heart that she doesn't know. And me. Nagdra and Maria know her as Spenih. And Dawn refers to her as Skye on occasion, even though she is not welcome to that name. And me.
  30. (12:50:13 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And you. And how long have the rest of us known her?
  31. (12:50:31 PM) threadTreader: Since her 12th session.
  32. (12:57:22 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Thirteen years, seven months, eleven days and forty-five minutes, and counting.
  33. (12:57:58 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And how long was it before "Spenih," became "Skye?"
  34. (12:58:38 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Sure wasn't a few months.
  35. (12:58:44 PM) threadTreader: Between the second and the third time I fell to corruption.
  36. (1:00:59 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You're not the first person she's pulled out of that hole. You won't be the last.
  37. (1:01:15 PM) ventricularPipefitter: It doesn't make you special.
  38. (1:01:24 PM) threadTreader: No, it does not.
  39. (1:01:45 PM) threadTreader: I never said it d d.
  40. (1:02:47 PM) threadTreader: I s mply know th t she n d my he p, and th t s e ish s to hel me. I care bout h r. /Lo e/ he .
  41. (1:03:44 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You're an interloper.
  42. (1:06:17 PM) ventricularPipefitter: What gives you the privilege to be so close to her? So quickly.
  43. (1:06:33 PM) threadTreader: S e do s.
  44. (1:07:30 PM) threadTreader: I am h r su port. You er not t ere for h r. Vi let ha t e ser ers to te d to Vi t is, w ll. Vitt. S e has told e the st ri s.

  46. (1:22:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: So that's how it'll be, then?
  47. (1:22:30 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Who needs a family, when you have a moirail instead?
  48. (1:23:35 PM) threadTreader: You ha e a v ry str nge wa of th nki g. H w di yo fi ure th t? I am n t ask ng h r to a ando a yone.
  49. (1:24:23 PM) threadTreader: I wo ld n ver ask for that. Her fam ly is de r to her, and I am on good t rms with a l of the ;save f r, appar ntly, yo .
  50. (1:25:16 PM) threadTreader: And s e is not th only p rson I rely on. I wou d be a b rden to her if I w s.
  51. (1:26:19 PM) threadTreader: I am not c uel, I am not d mine ri g, and I am not looking for any sort of e clu ivi y from her.
  52. (1:27:39 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Relationships /end,/ Mornei. One way or another, they can't last. Family doesn't ever go away.
  53. (1:27:51 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I think we're done here. For now.
  54. (1:28:01 PM) threadTreader: Ross.
  55. (1:28:06 PM) threadTreader: I do care d ply for her. I /love/ her. And you are not going to be able to st p that, or keep me from try n to s ppo t her to the best of my a i ities.
  56. (1:31:09 PM) threadTreader: And ho e th t yo w ll ke p fro hur ing h r be ause of yo r ins curitie .
  57. (1:31:40 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Don't think I don't! Don't you DARE doubt me.
  58. (1:31:44 PM) ventricularPipefitter: If she needs so much more than any of us can give her, who am I to stop you?
  59. (1:32:52 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter has ended the private conversation --
