She calls out. "I want my psicrystal back, if you don't mind!"That should help.Not soon enough.Oh, deal with it... now where was I?You were contemplating Keith's motives for trying to come and save you.Oh, that's right.  I don't know why I'm thinking like that, though... Keith has always been protective.  Even in the library, when those things attacked... he was protective.  And we didn't even know each other very well.You still don't.Yes, we do!  We know each other quite a bit better than we did when we first met.And yet you still doubt him.That's not very nice!  After what I've been through... of course I'm going to be cautious.  This kind of... happened, and I didn't really have time to think about it.Yes you did.  How long did you and he talk?  About relationships, among other things?Damn it, I just don't know!  I know how I feel about him... but I just want to be more careful.  He left for a long time, and then he suddenly comes back, expecting me to be waiting for him... almost like... him...You worry far too much.  He is not like him, and you know it.I know... but part of me still wonders sometimes...You're second-guessing yourself again.I know, I know, I know!  Can't there be an equal ground here, between self-confidence on being with someone else?  Where I can be as confident in my own abilities as I was when we attacked those orcs and freed those villagers, and where I can still be in a relationship with Keith?...I doubt it.Thanks for the support.  But what am I going to do?  If I try to act on my own, and be more independent, Keith will think I'm angry with him.Are you?No!  I'm not angry with him... it's not his fault that I have these problems.  It's mine.  But, if I act too dependent on him... then he might get tired of it, and go away, and I won't feel right inside.You have to make a tough choice.  Life is tough - learn to deal with it.Why do I talk to you?Because there is no-one else for you to talk to....damn you.  I hate it when you're right...</blockquote>
