Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2933627" data-attributes="member: 29014">[SBLOCK=Bail]*Rayni nods and sits down.*"Thank you Bail.  I'm here to tell you a little story, of a frightened, lonely girl.  When she was very little, her wicked father told her that she was a monster, and he forced her to grow up to be someone else while constantly making her feel that to be herself was a terrible sin and a sign of a terrible aberration within her blood.  The little girl grew ashamed of herself.  She was scared and frightened.  But her father could see only greed, and he planned something terrible for her, to use her as a weapon for his own gain...But Bail, one day, that girl escaped her father.  Afraid and completely alone, she sought out the only thing she had to which to cling--the other girl that her father had forced her to become, who was a real person too.  But still, inside, she was frightened and lonely, and so ashamed of herself from all the built-up lectures of her wicked father that she believed that anyone in the world who found out her secret would hate her too, would recoil away from her and never want to be friends with her again.  And so she hid herself away, wrapped herself inside of a cocoon that resembled the girl she had been taught to replace, and in that way, she lived safely, but she was still lonely...and afraid to show herself to anyone.  Bail, the girl in my story, well, we know that girl.  Her name is Mel.  She was too afraid to tell you before, too afraid of her feelings for you and that you might hate her...but one day, she couldn't keep those feelings inside, Bail.  She knew that you were someone she could trust, and so she hoped you would understand...She wasn't trying to manipulate you Bail, she was just so very frightened...and afraid to lose you if you recoiled from her the way her father had planted in her mind that everyone would.  I hope you can understand, Bail...Mel is a wonderful person, but she needs our love and support to help her grow stronger and more confident in herself."(OOC: Remember, this is the night before--ah retcons <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> )[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
