Nyx ( Νύξ ) The night holds your fears (_nyx_) wrote in changedrpg,
She listened to her quietly, one long leg tucking under her. She listened with the keen ear of a friend, nibbling lightly on a cookie. Nyx was a special case, she could adapt anywhere, but she missed home a lot, too. Brazil was... Brazil. There was something special about it that made her miss it. But her parents were here. She sighed softly.
"It's alright, love. You didn't do it on purpose, ya know?" She nodded softly. "You can get through this, my friend. Sometimes you have to internalize things before you can verbalize them to others." she pushed hair out of her eyes. She frowned softly. She shifted in her seat lightly, and leaned forward, giving her friend her full attention.
"It's not fair, Fleur, never fair. But you shouldn't deal with this alone, either. Yes yes I know Bill is there for you but sometimes you need other friends. I'm here because I care about you." she said lightly, sliding off her seat to crouch before her friend lightly.
"I lend you my strength - Lean on me all you wish. You can at least face the nightmare with someone. It'll help." she rocked back onto her heels, not too close to her friend but close enough. "I've seen faces like yours, Fleur. Every child back home has seen some kind of atrocity." she held up her hand. "I'm not lessening your trauma, never would I dare, but there are people who know what it's like." she said softly.
"Family is there for you - the only way we can be is if we know. Sharing the trauma, the face, the memory spreads out the pain, so you don't have to deal in silence alone. You share the pain and we in turn share our strength."
