Elyse’s anxiety went away at her words. There was a thought in the back of her head that Mae was going to storm out. Elyse knew it was an incorrect assumption. It was just the way things had been recently. Her brain had been lying to her.
”That makes me glad,” Elyse said, with a smile. ”I hope someday I find what I’m looking for, but I think I have a lot of self searching to do first.”
The last words surprised Elyse. It suddenly made sense why she had been struggling. It had been right there - she had to figure herself out and that wasn’t a bad thing. She’d get it eventually.
”The past several days have been really rough. Rougher than before. I want to say it’s not your fault - it’s just everything has been hard. It got really dark and I thought really dark things. I asked for help and I’m working on it. Had Adrian take my weapons away. He reported it to Nox and Bruno, and Nox sent a friend to help. It’s getting better, but part of what I’m doing is going to be turning Nox’s building into a home for myself and those kids.” she smiled at Mae. ”If you have any ideas that would help. I want to make it something Nox will like too obviously. If you don’t want to help though, I’d understand.”
