Oh. Who are you and why are you talking to me?
//lol chill max//
*realizes what he said* *attempts to cover it up* wait wait, forget I said anything. Please.
*blinks* What? Hey, now, it’s okay kiddo. I
get it. It’s okay… though… I gotta ask if you’ve said anything to the counselors
about it.
No! Don’t even think about mentioning it! I’ll kill you!
Whoa, whoa, kid, calm down. I was just asking.
It’s okay if you don’t feel comfortable talking to them – I promise.
*max seems to shrink in on himself* w-well, I’ve been meaning to talk to David…but…*he pauses, unsure*
*kneels down and places both hands on his
knee, watching the child* It’s okay. Are you afraid he won’t take it seriously
or won’t understand?
*he seems to shrink even further* I…I don’t know…he seems to happy and naive to understand…*his eyes fill with tears but he quickly wipes them away*
*nods* I see. Well, that’s okay. *reaches into
his pocket for a packet of handkerchiefs. Takes one out and offers it to Max*
Angie says lots of nice things about David. She says he cares a lot. So
he might understand. You never know until you try. But that’s up to you
completely.
*max pushes the handkerchief away* I…I want to talk to someone…but I don’t know how…
*nods again* That’s okay. I understand
sometimes you just don’t feel safe about it.
Hey… I’m working nearby. I’ve got a campsite
close to the Sleepy Peak Peak volcano to study it. I know I’m just a strange
adult, but I’ll be around working and coming in to check on Angie. I want to
offer that you can talk to me if you’d like. But it’s totally up to you of
course.
