Alicia sounded like she was listing some excuses but she knew how hard it could be for some people to ask for help. Hydra were notorious for wanting that independence and despite how Kitsune thrived on creative energy and seemed to get along, perhaps even they suffered from the ailment of having a hard time asking for help. Cressida looked at Alicia and sighed, "Nobody really enjoys that feeling. Sometimes life is hard and we want others to do things for us but things like this? It'd be easier if it could just disappear. But it doesn't."
She gave Alicia a long look, "Weakness doesn't stay that way. It does if you ignore it. If you pretend it's not there. If you bury it underneath. These things have a way of finding their way back to the surface and sometimes with quite the force. Your magic reacting the way it is is an example of that."
