Mm. Though I'm inclined to believe Owner is more resilient than most of us.

...Not that I'd wish any of this on him. And not that he deserves it any more than we do.

[ but he is markedly different, and his years and experiences outnumber theirs by far.

[ they can get better at it together. ]

[ravenry]

[ how does she say she doesn't think she should? persist or get better at it?

she doesn't. ]

It's a little tiring.

[pyromance]
