Tonight is the Night -- Raid Patrol, open

[Hope Arcanium]

"If you want to prove yourself so badly, then I'll treat you like a full adult. Is that understood?" Tough love was the only thing that would work here, as clearly Laeglin would not leave them to do this on their own. And if being treated like an adult was what he wanted, then he would be treated as such, She'd give him a chance. She knew what this was like for not only herself but many other younger creatures she'd met over the years.

"But there's one thing you should understand, Lae..." Her tone softened at this moment as she lowered her body to be at eye level with him, "You don't need to prove yourself to anyone. You just need to prove yourself... to yourself. And that's something you'll have to handle on your own. There can be help, but you'll be the one who does it in the end. If worst comes to worst, I'm flying you back to the camp."
