Hey, there's a lot to be said for stubbornness and pride! It can really get you places sometimes.

[It can also make a complete mess of everything (thanks mom) but he chooses not to type that part.]

He's a pretty senstivie soul, but he's a good kid.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, it can! Though lately I've been coming to the realization that I may have been relying on them a little too much.

[It's ok Bruno he's already aware. What started as a way to prove he wasn't weak had become a way to keep people from getting close. It was only when a certain kid started metaphorically scratching at the door to be let in did he start to realize how bad it'd gotten. ]

[wedonttalkabout]

I don't know. My mom managed to use it to strongarm her way through pretty much her entire existence.

...But yeah, has its downsides. Didn't get her everywhere.

[Or rather, it did, but at the detriment of literally everyone around her.]

[fiddlestick]

[.....

Yeah. Being likened to both Belos and Alma in the same conversation is a bit too much for Elliot. He knows from what he's picked up from teaching the Madrigal kids that Alma is nowhere near as bad as Belos, but Jesus]

Right, well, I think I need to go smoke some weed and see if I can schedule another therapy appointment to help me re-evaluate all my life choices.

Is there anything else I can help you with Bruno?

[wedonttalkabout]

[Sorry, Elliot. It's a real bad time and when Bruno realises what he did he'll feel pretty bad about it.]

Oh! Good luck with that. I hear both those things help. A lot?

No. I'm good. Thanks for listening.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, they do! At least for me anyway.

[Should probably not recommend drugs to his students' relatives]

Anytime. And thank you for coming to me. It's nice knowing there's other people looking out for Hunter's wellbeing.

[wedonttalkabout]

[Bruno would genuinely not say no, anything to end the anxiety spirals, honestly. ]

No problem. I'll keep an eye on him and let you know if anything else crops up.

[fiddlestick]

Sounds good. Something tells me we could use all the help we can get.

[It takes a village, blah blah]
