1, 2, and 7 for vey?

"Let's see... My greatest strength... Well, I suppose that would be compassion! I do try to be kind to everyone. And... That will usually result in people being kind in turn!"

> She's spot on with this one, though she may have forgotten to mention her determination. Nothing can keep Veylin Kenshe down for long.

"My greatest weakness... Um. Perhaps... I am a bit too forgiving? It's hard to say. If I knew what my weakness was, I would try to fix it."

> Close, but not quite. Veylin's greatest weakness is her refusal to acknowledge her own problems. Before Harlan, her life was ruled by her powers. Now she has an incredible handle on them, but she's abusing them to avoid confronting the trauma she's gone through. She won't let herself look at the past, and thus cannot learn from it.

"There are lots of things that make me happy. Games, books, stargazing... But above all else? My boys."

> No objections here.

(Ask Meme)

*hands veylin a cup of dandelion root tea* It'll be okay. You'll figure it out

"Thank you... I am not too worried. Things are going well. I have been doing important work with Styx, and spending my free time with Benjin and Zurven. Planhz, Thanat, and Mr. Ghosts are all wonderful. I do not feel alone.

I am happy, so please... Try not to worry about me."

Don’t listen to them vey girl get yourself one of those prescription scar creams

"I am fine. Thank you."

Vey, as someone who’s got my own scars, I’ve been told that once it’s healed over, you can gently massage it for a couple of minutes a day to slowly break up the scar tissue, and there are medical processes that can be taken to remove a lot of the scarring as well, although they take time. I don’t think that anon had the best intentions but there are things that can be done :)

"I-I..."

> Veylin takes a shaky breath, lip quivering.

"I am... Content to ignore it."

Lemon juice reduces scars. Just saying

"Are you... Trying to make me hurt myself?"

"It's too late for that, in any case... It has already scarred."

so then why dont you want to do something to change it?

"I am doing something to change it. I do not let those feelings linger."

but doesnt it bother you?

"Yes."

you're not going to address it at all?

"No, I... I think I would prefer not to."

veylin have you thought about branding or tattooing other lines over the symbol to make it into something else? could probably turn it into a penguin or something

"I haven't thought much about it at all, really. Benjin has brought up the idea of getting my symbol tattooed on his shoulder as a way of helping me reclaim it, but... Um. I would prefer to simply ignore it, I think."

Veylin, have you guys heard anything about Harlan lately? Do you think he's planning anything?

"Let's talk about something else."

Oh speaking of Vey! Have you guys gone on any official dates yet?

Have the other two had any interesting date ideas?

"Zurven has expressed an interest in showing us how to make pottery, and Benjin is quite keen on walks in the woods! It is difficult to parse what's a date when most of what we want to do is simply another form of existing in each other's company, as we do every night.

It is quite comfortable."

Vey! Is there something you’ve been meaning to try or do— now that you’re out and about— but haven’t gotten to yet?

“I would like to try visiting an orchard! The sort that let you pick fruit to bring home with you. We could make it a date!”

vey! quick, tell me ur favorite piece of clothing to steal from each of ur boyfriends, 123 go!

“This hoodie for both of them. Zurven and I are at war.”

BEN AND VEY MEET REID?

"Heh. Yeah. He's uh... He's a cool guy. It was kind of jarring? The whole... Alien thing. But you get used to it surprisingly quickly. He was nice!"

"I very much enjoyed listening to him..."

grubhood for vey?

"When I was very young, my abilities hadn't fully developed, which made it possible to exist around other trolls. Before I began to seclude myself, I would often go for walks in public. I was not aware that the power to sense emotions was unique, and I recall telling an older woman that I liked how happy she felt.

She looked at the store she was standing outside of, gave me a pastry, and told me to run home."

Veylin, if you feel compelled to do anything, remember this is just a reconnaissance mission technically. You're just there to scope! Don't do anything hasty.

"Technically, um... It won't be a mission at all. But again, you don't need to worry! Even if I do go, it won't be for some time."

vey, please be careful... :( don't you think it's best to have someone as backup, for something like this?

"As far as logistics are concerned, what I want to do will be nothing more than a brief visit to see the town. That's all. If I do eventually go through with it, I'll just spend a night or two walking around there, perhaps meeting the residents. That's all."

where are you going? and who are the two you're talking about?

"Nowhere yet. I'm just... Planning. It will be brief."

you wouldnt happen to be researching a town run by two ancient dudes, would you?

"I won't do anything silly. They're open to visitors, and I know better than to cause trouble. I've barely even begun working with Styx. I know... If there is something wrong, I'm not ready to handle that. Not yet.

But I need to know... Need to see for myself if... If people are trapped, or hurting... I'll feel them.

Ofelia... She wanted me to hide. She gave me a list of people to hide from. But if... If no one had been brave enough to face off against Harlan, then..."

"I just want to check. I... I won't be picking fights."

what have you been up to lately, vey?

"I am... Arranging to take a trip somewhere. There is something in Ofelia's journals that doesn't add up, and it worries me."

> Veylin fidgets with her hands, thinking out loud.

"The other names are not difficult to understand. There are records... Reasons for her to be wary of them. So why is it that these two..."
