Making hard things sound easy is kind of my gift.
But this thing you're doing where you're putting all the blame on the stone is not okay. People have problems no matter what. Stone. Flesh. Steel. Feathers. No matter what we are on the outside we're all a mess on the inside. [THIS IS YOUR PEP TALK!] I don't know your servant well, but I'm still betting this thing is her issue and not yours. Stop being so self involved.
