[ Annie thinks everyone should love their close friends. What is wrong with people for not accepting that there are as many flavors of love as there is ice cream at fucking Baskin-Robbins.

Nerds. Not being in touch with their feelings. ]

He did lose his shit a few times. Hopefully he doesn't flood us all. That's actually on the list.

[ A few weeks after this Annie will kick herself for not thinking of very Egyptian punishments. She is thinking of Noah's ark right now. ]

Holy shit. He was a child. No wonder he is having issues now. That's some trauma right there.

[ He lost his father at eleven. Annie can't imagine growing up without her parents.

Atem... is no longer an irresponsible jerk in Annie's mind. He is a traumatized dumbass who needs friends. She can do that! Maybe. ]

Mahaad. We're friends. This is part of what friends do.

I apologize, it is not an unfamiliar concept to me, but it is hard not to compartmentilize relationships. It is a struggle when you are raised to trust only a few people.

[ Mahaad bowed his head the same. ]

I will talk to Atem when I am ready. It should only serve to help him realize the consequences of his decisions.

I had Katie to fix that problem.

[ She smiles fondly at the memory of her first friend. ]

It takes time to learn new things. I just.... I think sometimes I care so easily because being allowed to have the friends I did changed me.

Also? If you need to talk it out more, I'll be here for you.

Ah, I believe I have been able to work through why I am so angry, thanks to your experience.

[ Mahaad gives her a rare smile. He really did enjoy the other's company and perspective. ]

Your friendship truly is appreciated.
