"You're every single word I said. I wouldn't lie to you like that."

Now given the okay to hug Aisha, Sprinkles gently wrapped his arms around her. "How about we go to your room and talk this out? I'll make you something quick to eat, get you some water, and bring you a box of tissues. Got any food suggestions?" He worried her panicking and crying would dehydrate her. If not that, if she ever wore herself out, her bed was the better place to do that. Sprinkles didn't feel right having to leave her on the floor or the couch if that's where she fell asleep.

Aisha sniffled and nodded. "Good idea...I want something sweet. Or maybe just a bunch of meat..." The cheerleader was conflicted between drowning her sorrows with ice cream or drowning them with a lot of sausages. Several moments into the hug, she let go so she could get up and start walking towards her room. She could at least hold her own but was a bit unsteady. The trek would take them upstairs.

Her super girly, pink and purple bedroom contradicted the gloomy situation. Its bright pastels and posters of sexy celebrity men seemed appropriate for the princess. She fell face-first onto her canopy bed and cried. Makeup be damned.

Sprinkles watched Aisha leave to calm down in her room and went to prepare her some food. He decided to be safe and do a little of both. Giving her too much food sounded like a bad idea at the moment. If she got to the point of throwing up, seeing all his effort go down the drain wasn't something he wanted to add to an already bad night.

Sometime later, he returned to Aisha's room, holding a tray with a couple of sausages, a small bowl of ice cream, and a glass of water. "Heey, feeling a bit better now? I didn't make you a lot, in case you felt sick."

Aisha reached over to take a sausage and dipped it in the ice cream. She began chomping down on it. She didn't care how weird it was or how she looked anymore. Her head nodded. "Yeah....it's like a weight totally rolled off my shoulders." She followed up with gentle sips of her water. As of right now, her midnight snack was satisfying her without making her vomit.

"I hate keeping this act up, you know? I'm just scared of people seeing me like...totally vulnerable. I'm not supposed to be emotional....emotions are bad..." She shivered violently as her mind flashed back to an unpleasant memory. The girl shifting about on her bed.

Sprinkles thought better of Aisha. Out of all the things she did today, dipping a sausage into ice cream was one of the most terrifying, disgusting, and disappointing. Sprinkles' nose immediately wrinkled at the sight, then he quickly turned his head to pretend it didn't bother him. Perhaps he was exaggerating his emotions, but that was so weird.

Mostly over the disturbing sight, he laid himself across Aisha's bed as if he owned it. At the very least, he made sure not to get in Aisha's way. "You need to remember that you aren't home anymore. This is Manta Carlos. Showing emotion is normal. You don't need to be blatant about it, but you don't need to constantly lie by acting strong and powerful. It's not healthy to hide your emotions either. It's why the red-headed girl earlier suggested you talk to a professional."

Aisha took a moment to process the remarks, continuing to eat the weird combination. She idly commented "This should taste awful...." as she did so. However, her taste buds couldn't really read the two foods together. She finished off the sausages then focused on the ice cream.

"I, like, Googled what therapy was because like I totally didn't know. Wasn't there like a counseling place or something at school?"

Sprinkles somberly nodded when she admitted the combination of sausage and ice cream should take awful. He couldn't say he knew what ice cream tasted like, but it didn't seem like something that could easily be combined with meat.

Kicking his legs lazily, he gave another nod to Aisha. "There is. I go to therapy at the school. My therapist is nice. He gives me advice but doesn't insult me or yell at me. Sometimes we'll debate if we disagree over something, but they're short and friendly. Basically, it's a lot of talking about my life and ways to handle my problems."

"What's his name? I think I should, like, schedule one...." She reached over to drink more water. "Can't be all that bad, right?" Talking with someone about this kind of stuff was surreal to her. Heck, the very idea of there being something called mental health was odd to her. However, her mind couldn't handle the newfound pressures and stresses, and she needed to do something before she snapped. She was honestly relieved to have such a good friend. To think this was her housekeeper....he was more than that now. Far more.

The girl put the glass down. "What problems do you have?" This was in a genuine, even concerned tone.

"Valli Bryndísarson," Sprinkles said, flawlessly saying his name. "It's not bad. It can be sad sometimes, then later you feel like a heavy weight was lifted off of your back. It's nice."

He smiled, happy to see Aisha considering such an important idea. If he could just get her to go through with it, she would improve so much.

That smile tensed and fell down when asked what problems he had. Lying would have betrayed all that trust she sunk into him. Avoiding the question would make him a hypocrite by telling her to be open with his emotions and closing himself off. Saying the truth would be painful and potentially shake this friendship.

"A-Ah... Mostly from my first home. Stuff with my dad. Most recently, I talked to him about how weak I felt here. I'm working on regeneration and shape-shifting to compensate, but... well... I'm not sure. I'd like to match up with more people on the island."

Aisha tilted her head in confusion. "But why? I mean, I understand. Look at my home. But here there's so, like, much less competition because no one really is concerned. It's not a fish-eat-fish world." Her eyes scanned the boy. "Plus you have such a unique look. No one can forget you!" The mermaid's usual perkiness leaked into her tone. She rubbed her eyes, no longer crying. She felt mildly fatigued but still wanted to chat it up with her best friend.

She took note of the name. While she was sure she'd butcher the last name at the moment, she knew she at least wouldn't forget it. Valli could expect another patient at his door soon. She just hoped it wouldn't be a trainwreck or trap. Well, the former was more likely than the latter. Why would her best friend trap her? It was clearly helping him...so maybe it would help her.
