Private Finished Mistakes Were Made, Regrets Are Had

Eein didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say, what to do. So the young dragon just leaned into the hug, despite her words he did feel shame, shame and a lot of confusion. He did feel calmer though, that was good at least.

"It's...it's done...," he'd say quietly and looking back down, "it is what it is.....and it's done." He didn't know what they could do to make any of this better, couldn't change what happened, he couldn't even properly remember it all.

He wasn't alone in this, that was good, but somehow he did feel alone, it was a confusing feeling. He didn't understand any of the emotions he was feeling, they were all still swirling inside him, but for the moment he felt a little calmer.

It wasn't much, but Huilu was glad her embrace seemed to offer Eein some consolation. It, or Huilu's words, would never be enough to fix what had been done but Huilu was happy if she was able to offer any kind of help in any form. And she was going to help Eein, no matter what.

"It is not done, Eein. It shows in how this is affecting you, why you feel this way. But do not worry, it will become better. Trust me."
Huilu tried to smile reassuringly, but it somehow felt wrong in this situation. Even if it might offer Eein some support.
"We will get through this. And the first step was to tell me. So, thank you. I am proud of you."
Huilu pulled Eein into one more, more brief but tighter hug.

And now began the more unpleasant part. Huilu looked at Eein with a serious expression, and kept a firm hand on his arm so he would pay attention to her.
"Eein, what happened, what was done to you, was not right."
That much was clear from how it was affecting him.
"And I believe you should be able to talk about it to someone, who can get you down the path of healing. A professional. I think you know what I am talking about."

He didn't feel proud of himself, he wasn't sure what he felt. Eein couldn't bring himself to say anything, he'd just nod a bit, agreeing with she was saying.

The younger dragon would lean into the hug, even returning it some. He wasn't overly affectionate but he appreciated the hugs.

Therapy, she meany therapy. He almost groaned at the thought of going to therapy. He disliked the idea of sitting and spilling his guts like that. "That's.....," he'd glance down, ".......why a therapist?"

Huilu could guess Eein didn't like the thought of going to therapy. It was a new concept for her as well, but she thought it was something anyone should be able to get without feeling ashamed.
"Because a therapist is what you need. Eein, it is like going to a medical doctor for your mind. Your mind needs healing just as much as your body does."
Huilu was going to be strict with this.
"Do it for me, Eein, and for your own well-being. And...I will go as well."
Huilu smiled a bit, and squeezed Eein's hand a bit. She needed therapy as well, she had been aware of it for as long as she had learned of such a practice. Art couldn't do everything for her, Huilu needed to treat her mind as well.
"You won't be alone in this, Eein. I and the rest of your family will be with you, no matter what."

The idea of sitting down with some stranger, telling them all this, it didn't sit well with the young dragon. Perhaps it was the guilt and shame, perhaps it was his natural pride and stubbornness, likely it was a mixture of them all.

Eein would give in, silently nodding in agreement. He'd go to a therapist, see what this person of mental healing has to offer. He didn't expect much would come of it, but he'd try.
