Part 468: Cordelia A

Cordelia!

...Blast! He found me. Er, hello, Libra!

Are you allright? I heard from Lissa that you had a fainting fit.

Just a little one. And I didn't say anything because I didn't want you to worry.

This is not the time to be fretting about MY feelings. How are you feeling now?

Oh, I'm fine. I even saw a physician, if that makes you feel better. She said I just need to get more rest and drink lots of tea.

Well, that's good to hear.

...And I AM very sorry.

What about?

For not listening to you. For not taking it easy like you told me to.

It is not me who you should be apologizing to.

Who, then?

Why, to yourself, of course! You're the one who has to suffer all the exhaustion and pain!

Uh, sorry, self!

You want to help people and be there for them when they need you, right? But you can't do that if you're working yourself into the ground.

I just can't help it! I see a job, and then another, and then another...Libra, would you maybe stay with me and scold me if I try to do too much?

I'm afraid scolding isn't in my nature. I'm more of the forgiveness type. What I can do, however, is offer my support and words of wisdom. Some gentle reminders to let you know you're trying to do the impossible.

I'd be grateful if you would!
