It is a known fact that a mun who once rpsterbates will, in fact, give in to rpsterbating again, even if she had sworn never to, for the sake of her sanity.

This may be why Kitty is sitting with Sunny on her lap, an amused expression on her face.

The amused expression may be caused by the fact that Sunny is reading to her Alice in Wonderland, pausing now and again to babble about one part of the story or another.

Pretend there's an appropriate icon here for this scene.

Kitty takes the hand offered and holds it, something like gratefully.

"I'm sure you're right. It's just--I don't do well. With relationships. Boyfriend one died, boyfriend two died, girlfriend got possessed by a galactic force and went a few millenia into the future." Beat. "Course, boyfriend one came back to life in a scary way, boyfriend two faked his death and is living in London, which he thinks I don't know, the bastard, and girlfriend came back after that timeline was erased. And my lovelife hurts my head. But the point that I was going to make before I got seriously sidetracked was that--actually, I think it's just that I'm scared." Faint smile. "Silly me."

She's a little bit shell-shocked by this, but squeezes Kitty's hand tightly and focuses on that which she understands.

"There's naught to be shamed of in being scared, Kitty, say true. But thee needn't be scared like that, not of the Lion, I wot."

"M'sure you're right," after a moment. But I am. "It'd be better if I could just meet him and not imagine it worse than I'm sure it is, but...well. Yes."

Perhaps Kitty'll go walking in the woods.

Just in case she sees a Lion.

(Or maybe not, because avoidance is better, or at least easier, at times, than facing a fear.)

"Mayhap ye will," she says hopefully. "I'd not thought I'd ever-- but I did, and so."

"Mayhap," softly, and Kitty takes the formerly cobra, now sleeping girl Sunny out of Susan's arms with a smile, then picking up the book. "Say thankya, Sue, for holding her."

"I were glad to," she tells Kitty, smiling softly at them.

"Long days and pleasant nights to ye both."
