Re: Audrey/Hannah: Tea
Hannah tried to understand, she did, but she'd always been comfortable with her body. Even with the madness swirling and the dreaminess constantly keeping her high, high in the clouds, she had been comfortable with her body, and she wasn't really sure how to impart that to someone else. Focus and calm, and breathe, and don't think about red and blood and hospital rooms. "Maybe you should work on being comfortable with Audrey's body first? Look at yourself in the mirror, or with a little mirror, if that's easier. Sleep naked! Be naked. Dance naked! Be comfortable with Audrey, and maybe the rest will come easier?" It was a suggestion, but Hannah had no way of knowing if it was a good suggestion or a bad suggestion, but it was one that made sense, and so she offered it.
A smile followed, one blooming sad and quiet. "Just make sure that whoever makes your heart thud messily, if it's going to be more than one night or two, treats you right. It's really easy to get lost in someone else sometimes." And a shake of her head. "You don't wish I was your sister growing up. Ask any of my siblings, and they'll tell you. Even Si, though he'd never, ever say it. It's not easy to have a sister who's wrong," she explained, but she didn't have any self-loathing in her voice. It was just a known thing, an accepted thing, and she'd always been like Mom, and Mom had always been a little strange. Dad had loved that about her, but it wasn't so easy for everyone else.
