Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sasha let out a little puff of laughter as she leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't cry. There's.. there's nothing to cry about. It's just.. everyone here has come from a different background, you know? What was normal to me - what I accepted as normal in my life might not have been acceptable to someone else."

She frowned.

"It's.. anyway. I said what I wanted to say. I just hope you can forgive me for the way I treated you. We're friends. And. It might take me some time to figure everything out, but... someday I will."

Sasha shook her head and shrugged.

"Thanks for listening to me, Rin. I'm.. I am sorry."

A harsh exhalation, "If I'm ready. I don't know ... some things are better kept... private." Sasha's smile had melted from her face, her eyes locked on her hands which were folded in her lap. She didn't lift her gaze when Rin reached forth to grasp her shoulder - which she allowed without dissent.

"But thanks, Rin. For being there. I'm.. I don't know. It can be difficult for me, sometimes. When I'm put in uncomfortable situations, I tend to lash out because I don't know how to cope with unfamiliar things." Sasha shook her head, finally lifting her pale eyes to meet Rin's, jaw tightening.

"Things have a way of getting far too complicated far too quickly."
