Greetings from Candle Cove~

Dearest mun, 

I am uncertain as to w-whether or not I should thank you for bringing me o-over here or not. On one hand, my curiosity to meet others from Candle Cove is wild, b-but on the other...I'm nervous about socializing. I-I know you mean well and you're curious too, but goodness gracious, womanchild... Do you have any idea what the word 'patience' means...? And I swear...If I see the Skin Taker...[She clenches her teeth] It shan't be a pretty sight, I'm sure. [Janice sighs] Please do forgive my rudeness. I'm just not in the most pleasant of moods right now...I believe Papa's calling me down for tea now. Perhaps that'll raise my spirits a bit.

Tout mon amour (et la colère), 

Janice

You're right about things more than enough. D-don't be too harsh on yourself...[The little lass placed a comforting hand over his shoulder]

Heh -- do excuse me. Force of habit from the bad old days. [He pats her on her shoulder in return.]

[She smiled at him with reassurance] Ah, it's q-quite all right...Don't worry about it. Papa can be the very same way at times...I d-don't think he has a reason though and n-neither do you... I know it's a bit difficult to break a habit, b-but you can do it...

I've been working on it. It helps that as my backstory gets clearer, it becomes obvious that I've gained a lot more experience than one might think in standing up for myself.

[Telling off Pris Witless, punching out Jack Splatter, getting Alice's rabbit away from Radcliffe, giving Dr. Bumby what-for -- oh yeah. Some days, he feels good about himself.]
