[[a deep sigh before Bakura puts a hand on Anthony's shoulder]] The more you try and duck away and hide and protest that everyone else's comfort is more important than anything else, the more worried I get, got it?

[[It's still a bit of a reprimand, but it's softer.]]

People who care worry. Some more than others. Shit, I worry probably more than anyone I know. [[There's a bit of sheepishness to that]] So when one moment you're full on tripping out and then you try and tell me you're fine half hour later, I'm gonna worry. Because you don't go back to "fine" after a fit like that. You go back to not having a fit and feeling horrible that you've had a fit.

[[voice of expenerance. Voice of recent experience at that...]]

And it's okay to admit things like that. It's okay not to be fine.


[[Despite Bakura's protest that therapy was useless and a waste of his time, it would appear that some of what he's been told over the years did sink in....]]
