[WIPES HER TEARS TOO since she's still sitting. Take that, giant Lace]

Do you know how many people would be too scared to leave at all? Who wouldn't risk everything for their sister's sake? I know I never would have made it as far as you did. [....]

I know it hurts to lose her... but there's only one thing to blame, and it's that gross brown plague! [GREY DEATH, WHATEVER]

...It wasn't because I was brave. I didn't think for a second I would find it when I left. I thought I would be killed within hours, but that was easier to accept than having to live my entire life knowing I hadn't done anything. I left because I was afraid of having to go on without her, not because I was fearless.

So, what? Being brave isn't about being fearless! It's about being scared! Didn't you fight off dragons and ogres? Didn't you even get the cure? Aren't you here now, even though you lost her?

It's terrifying to lose your sister! I know that! You know that! Everyone with a sister knows that! You've been here this whole time without her. Maybe you started off because you were scared of just losing her, but that's not how it is anymore, is it?

[she takes a breath as she listens, trying to stop herself from crying]

You aren't wrong, but...

[acemedium]

But....?

[Hugging in 3, 2....]

Re: day 127 sometime

[bloodbiter]

...How am I supposed to lead an entire country of people when I couldn't save the one person closest to me?

[1, HUGS]

[But haha she knows this feeling very well thanks to recent memories, but on a much smaller scale]

You're Lace, duh! Things got messed up at the last minute... but that doesn't change your Laceness! You're strong, and smart, and kind, and way tougher than any queen I've ever heard of! I mean, I bet if you took over here, you'd have this system bent right back into shape in a few days.

[returns the hug silently, taking a deep breath

after a few moments:]

Thank you.

Re: day 127 sometime

[feytality]

[Strokes her hair like Lace does for her sometimes]

You don't have to thank me. I'm just being honest.

Re: day 127 sometime

[bloodbiter]

[well

that reminds her of meryl so your shoulder is probably getting wet, sorry star]

Re: day 127 sometime

[feytality]

[MAN UP, LACE]

[no, she's gonna keep stroking the hair. Go ahead and cry on your midget sis]

[She's even quiet for now]

Re: day 127 sometime

[bloodbiter]

[IT'S... probably going to continue for a while]

Re: day 127 sometime

[feytality]

[THE HAIRSTROKING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL LACE IMPROVES]

Don't forget about your Laceness, okay?
