[video BACKDATED A LOT to like the end of Feb.]

[Perhaps she had waited too long to say anything… but probably it was only too late if nothing was said. It was important to say something, but she knew it was a foolish move to do it if she did not have a chance to do anything for herself. The incident with Mary had left her beaten, there was no denying it. After speaking with Ai, there was no doubt that she had a similar experience with the blonde, and that she had also been told to keep quiet.

As silent as she normally was, this was not something she would stay quiet over. She knew better than to do it recklessly, however. Measures were taken to make sure her sister was safe. This would be ok.]


[Hey look it's the tiny librarian that has made herself incredibly scarce recently. She doesn't look happy, but when has she ever looked happy? More so, she seemed a bit… sad. Those that knew her knew she was very quiet, but she was speaking up now.]

Hello. I will be brief, as I will not say anything good.

Some of you may know Mary. Some may not. She hurt my sister. She ripped off her petals. She assaulted me. She took some of mine. I do not know if you know what that means. I do not know if you know what it means to destroy a petal. It is not good. It hurts. Mary told me to be quiet, but I will not.

I know some of you have flowers of your own. Please take care of them. Please be wary.

Thank you.

You already worry about too much. I should not be one of them.

I am done, yes. [And that was where it was left.] It was during the blackout... She did not like the things I knew, but they are for her to say. She took all of Ai's petals, but I cannot say the reasons were the same.

Hey, don't worry about what I worry about. I worry cuz... Y'know. You're my buddy. I'd be a pretty crappy friend if I didn't worry when you got injured, right? Most useless friend ever.

Huh.... She didn't like the things you knew? [Considering what he'd spoken about with Mary last, he had an inkling as to what this might be pertaining to. And he did want to delve into it. However, she'd already been hurt once for revealing her knowledge, from the sounds of things. He didn't want her to be targeted again. He'd drop it.]

Right. Do you need any help with Mary? I can talk to her - tell her to leave you be, if you're worried she's gonna pick on you or Ai again.

[vianca]

It is all right. Ai will be fine.

[monotreme_101]

Ai will be fine. That's great.

[The unasked question is, of course, 'what about you, though?' however, considering she told him not to worry, he doesn't want to overstep his bounds.]

You know if you ever need anything, help or whatever, you can always ask me. Right? I know I'm not around the Library much and I live in town, but I'm on campus most days, so, y'know.. if you ever needed anything, I'd be more'n happy to help you out.

[vianca]

... Thank you. You have always done a great deal.

[monotreme_101]

Well, I try. Like I said, you're my buddy so it's only natural I help you out if I can. You'd totally do the same for me, I'm sure.

[vianca]

I would like to think I would.

[monotreme_101]

I'm pretty positive you would.

[vianca]

... But I did not do all I could for Rhys. I do not think you are correct.

[monotreme_101]

OK. But was that because you didn't know what to do? Or because you didn't know exactly what was happening at the time? I doubt it was because you didn't care to do anything to help.

[vianca]

I was worried but... I was also very selfish. It is not a good thing to be.

[monotreme_101]

Well... it's difficult. Sometimes, folks are selfish BECAUSE they're worried. And it's OK to be worried for your own welfare too, y'know.
