I understood her reticence as the season was playing out, given the way events unfolded, but she hasn't got an excuse anymore. I don't think she knew when she took me on how much I'd come to hate sitting still.
Nowhere yet. The term is starting at her school in a few weeks, so until that's underway, it's most likely going to be active pestering and little else.
Trust me. As much as I like doin' things, the things my mun's got planned, I wouldn't mind another break. Between witches and Russell and knowin' 'bout my Maker now...
I'll admit, despite preferring to have something to occupy my time, I do see your side of it.
[Oh, and just because it really does need to be said. This is a rare moment of actual humility, basically unprecedented for her regarding almost-strangers and just the slightest bit awkward and formal. But it's right to do.]
And for the part I played, inadvertently and not, in your Maker's -- in his actions, I am truly sorry.
Oh, it's gonna get worse. The game I'm in, with the canon update and Eric and Godric... It just ain't gonna go well.
[She tilts her head.]
Pam explained it to me. Nesting, or whatever. [She clears her throat.] I just can't loose'im, you know. I know he ain't always the best, but the past year? He's all I really got now.
[She's a smart woman; she knows that's an excuse anyone could rest on as well as she knows that she herself can't, not fully.]
Nesting. Yes. I'd imagine it's a touch more complicated than the explanation you were given, but the details perhaps don't matter. [Then, a nod.] He's your Maker. Despite everything, that doesn't change.
