3 Monster Friends [Voice] - Content Warning

[wildlittlegirl]

[ 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...

[Oh, man.

Oh boy. Oh. Well.]

Hey. Arietta?

[voice]

[wildlittlegirl]

What is it?

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Just, uh, to make sure - you weren't in a fight or something, right?

[voice]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ She shakes her head, which is of course totally audible over the journals. ]

It's been a while since I fought anyone.

[corrinesbell]

[Okay then this is not the thing to discuss where other people can hear it. You know what's really awkward? Having had this conversation with your grandfather's straight-sandaled stand-in chief guy.]

Then I don't think you're hurt and I really don't think a healer's gonna fix it.

[wildlittlegirl]

Then what's happening?! It doesn't make sense...

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

It's, uh. It's supposed to? This is really weird to talk about this way.

[voice | filtered]

[wildlittlegirl]

But people are only supposed to bleed when they get hurt.

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, this is just, it's different. It's a thing that happens to girls. You're not dying though or anything. [Ten points to guess what Sheena thought when it happened to her.]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ Solidarity high five. ]

... Are you sure?

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

Absolutely sure. It's weird and you're totally justified in freaking out a little bit but I promise you're not dying.

[voice | filtered]

[wildlittlegirl]

Then what's going on? I want it to stop.

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

It's just...a thing. [It shouldn't be this hard to explain.] Look, did anybody say they're coming to help you, maybe?

[voice | filtered]

[wildlittlegirl]

Yes, someone did.

(( Sure let's go with that ))

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

Then if they aren't doing it already, tell them to come over and help you. I think pretty much any other woman is gonna know what's up and all of them can explain it better than me.

[voice | filtered]

[wildlittlegirl]

Oh. Are you sure? Really sure?

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

Yep, I'm really sure. You'll be okay. It's just really annoying.

[voice | filtered]

[wildlittlegirl]

Okay. I'll wait then.

...

Why won't you explain it?

[voice | filtered]

[corrinesbell]

Mostly because I think I'd just end up confusing you even more. Someone else'll be better at it.

[voice | filtered]

[wildlittlegirl]

Oh, alright. If you say so.
