3 Monster Friends [Voice] - Content Warning

[ The thing about having stunted growth, being raised by monsters, and then subsequently raised by a boy around your age, is that sometimes you miss out on being informed about key parts of life.

Arietta sniffles a few times before she manages to address the journal. ]

Is there a doctor... um... Can a doctor come here? A lady would be better... I think.

[ She takes a few unsteady breaths. ]

I don't know what happened. It won't stop bleeding...

Arietta?

[Ion isn't quite making the connection yet. Nope, all he sees is a very sad loli asking for a doctor and talking about blood. Those are Not Good Things.]

What happened? Are you hurt?

I'm not sure. [ She sniffles again. Oh Ion she doesn't want to worry you! ] It doesn't hurt much, but I can't stop the bleeding. I tried...

Did it just start on its own? Where exactly are you bleeding? [...] If... you'd rather not say, that's all right.

[She asked for a lady doctor... hm...]

[ But this is Ion and we are okay with sharing uncomfortable amounts of information with Ion! Because he's Ion! ]

Between my legs. I don't think anything happened. It was bleeding when I woke up and hasn't stopped yet.

[Oh.]

[Oh.]

[.............]

[Was this how people felt when he asked about his wings?]

[Well. At least he knows what the problem is now.]

[...]

[But is it really appropriate for him, of all people, to be telling her about this?]

...I see. I think I know what the problem is, although... I'm not sure if I'm the best person to be explaining it.

Why not?

I guess you could say it's not the sort of thing a boy should be telling a girl.

[He's. Just going to start wandering around the house carrying his journal to see if someone else is home. He lives with a house full of women ~~and a Florian~~ so someone has to be able to talk to her! ...r-right?]

Has anyone else replied to your question?

(( 8| ))

No one said they're a doctor yet...

[And he's not really finding anyone here who could talk to her either. That is, someone she might actually trust. Not many from Auldrant would fall into that category, huh...]

If you're more comfortable speaking with a doctor, I'm sure there's someone at the clinic who could help you. Though I don't think it's the sort of thing you would need a doctor for... it's a normal process all girls go through as they get older.

[He's really not sure if this is more or less awkward to be talking about over the journals.]

I don't want to leave here.

[ ION DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SCARY THIS IS 8( ]

I don't want to go through it. I want it to stop.

[Yeah, he's definitely starting to hear just how scared she must be. On the one hand, it really shouldn't surprise him that she doesn't know anything about this, but on the other hand...]

[He stops walking and looks down at the journal with a small frown for another moment or two, before changing to a comforting smile instead.]

You're going to be all right, there's nothing to be afraid of. Would you like me to come over? I'm not sure how qualified someone like me is to explain this sort of thing, but if I can be of any help at all...

Come here. [ Even if the idea of this being a different Ion than the one she knows and loves so dearly is still one she is struggling with, it's so easy to take comfort in his presence as she would her own Ion's.

And comfort is something she'd really like right now. ]

You always know how to help.

All right. I'll be over as soon as I can. There's just... something I need to check on first. And then I'll be right there.

[That "something" being a certain thing he's read about in regards to this particular problem that he may just have to swing by the item shop for. ~~Just what he needs, more reasons for people to question his gender...~~]

Please come soon! And... And tell Anise to stop being mean to me!

[ ~~Ion, such great sacrifices you make...~~ ]

Tell-- what?

[He's actually been so focused on trying to figure out this situation that he didn't even stop to think to check who else might be replying here.]

[Maybe he should just take a quick look here--]

[...]

[The line on Ion's side goes quiet for a number of moments.]

...I'll be there soon. I promise.

Okay.

[ she will be here.

Are you going to get Anise in trouble? That would make her somewhat happier. ]

[It takes a little while for Ion to arrive, having been held up in the item shop looking for... things.]

[But soon enough, he's arriving at the house, and after knocking and getting no reply, he lets himself in.]

Arietta? Are you in here?

I'm in the bathroom.

[ There's a bit of desperation to her voice. Ion you are here! ]

[.......oh.]

[Uhm.]

[Well, he walks in the direction of her voice, but.... clearly he's not going to just push the door open. That'd be indecent!]

I'm... right here, Arietta. [.......] I brought something for you that should help... are you close enough to the door so I can just slide it over to you?

[Please for the love of Yulia say yes.]

I didn't lock it. But I think so. [ idk man how far is it gonna slide. She's kind of at a bit of an angle here ~~and then I was looking up floorplans to see the bathroom layout~~ ]

[Well! Then he's just going to crouch down and slip the small package through the door. They're pads, of course. And now a number of people in the item shop are probably wonder of they've been mistaken about Ion's gender this whole time.]

[As he straightens up, he takes a calming breath -- he can tell she's scared, and the last thing she needs is to hear him sounding all flustered and unsure right now too.]

It's something that should help take care of the bleeding until it stops. There should be instructions for how to put them on written on the box. That way you won't have to stay in there the whole time.
