Ky grimaced. And then she’d promptly been an asshole.

He was going gloves-off at her conscience. She glanced away.

“…I’m tired of pretending to be something I’m not.” Which is exactly what this would be: an act. If she agreed with him. If she tried his strategy.

He nodded in understanding. "I almost forgot Kyber...maybe that isn't the best idea..."

He frowned, considering it. "I mean...I need to think on this some more. But none of us want you to stop living, Ky. I want you to be happy."

Ky was silent for a moment then nodded. “I know… and I appreciate that. More than my actions suggest.”
(Bruh I had to crawl around in poison ivy at work earlier and I am severely allergic and am absolute toast cause this happened 7 hours ago now so it’s too late to wash it off without a reaction but imma do my best to counteract it and stopped on my way home from work to get products to make an attempt and I’m aboutta take a literal shower in melaleuca and let me tell you I don’t wanna lol)

(Omg that's awful! Couldn't you tell your boss you're allergic?)
"I'll work on helping," he promised. "Just....can I ask that you be open with me about things like this? I can't help if I don't know what's going on with you."

(Bold of you to assume my ego would allow that) (Also I survived but it was as awful as expected lolol)
“I don’t think you can help at all,” she murmured, looking down. “It’s just my own brain being a jerk. And… this only makes you worry. For no reason.”

(I hope you at least wore long sleeves and pants??)
"Hey, brains are jerks sometimes." He gave her a lighthearted nudge. "That's what family is for, right? Distractions and helping out. I'll do what I can for you. Plus--it's a father's job to worry about his kids, right?"

(😬) (long pants lol say a prayer for my arms and face)(field work is so unpredictable — this is the first time since my job started two months ago that we were somewhere that had poison ivy… so I didn’t know to bring long sleeves… I tried to rinse off as best as I could in the river and used hand sanitizer immediately after so I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst given my track record with poison ivy lol)
Ky smiled a little at that and finally sat down next to him. This felt like she was pushing it. But. Well. She leaned against him anyway.
