[ What does she even say to that? She has some lingering concerns. Big ones. Why does she know how a bear gives hugs? She’s friends with the Little Mermaid because of course she is. Why is the bear TAKING BATHS IN HER HOUSE what is even going on anymore, is this real life???? ]

I… feel like brushing Disney movies off as unrealistic so readily as a kid really did me a disservice all of a sudden.

[onebadapple]

A Disney movie? I didn't know Mickey and Minnie made movies at their castle! They never told me! [Because, wouldn't you know it, in Kingdom Hearts their castle is the Disney Castle and Snow knows all about that.]

But just look at it this way, Chloe, what might be unrealistic for you is common every day for someone else and vice versa! I can speak to animals quite well but when people talk about things like phones and computers, I'm completely lost!

... Guess they wanted to keep it hush hush. [ She doesn't even have it in her to tell her the truth about this. It's already been a Long Week. ]

I guess... that makes sense. I think I'd take talking to animals over that kind of stuff, though. I always wanted to know what Bongo was thinking.

[onebadapple]

Who might Bongo be? A friend of yours?

[tagartist]

He was my pet cat.

[onebadapple]

Oh, then he was a friend. Pets can be very difficult to lose. I'm so sorry he's not here, Chloe.

[tagartist]

He died when I was like fourteen so it’d be a little weird if he was.

[onebadapple]

Oh, I'm so sorry, have you thought of getting a new cat, Chloe?

[tagartist]

Nah. I’m not really responsible enough to take care of a pet on my own, I don’t think.

[onebadapple]

I would be happy to help, if you want?

[tagartist]

Maybe. I don't know that I'd want a pet here, though.

[onebadapple]

Well, you can always decide on who would take care of it should anything happen! I have Fluttershy and Evie to take care of all the animals should I leave.

[tagartist]

I —

Mm.

I know it might sound stupid, but the thought of loving something or someone that much and then just... abandoning them, whether it was my choice or not, isn't something I think I could do. Being left hurts too much. It's hard enough to get close to people here knowing it could happen.

[onebadapple]

It's not stupid, Chloe! You have every right to be concerned about such a thing, about feeling like you're abandoning someone or something you love and care for.

But... Chloe, it hurts so much more to shove people away and try to do everything on our own.
