Stella rests her weight against Reese, unable to support it on her own, wrapping her arms around her child in a heavy embrace.

Stella: reese, do not be scared.
Reese I-
Stella: if you do not want to become kennari's apprentice, i will not make you.
Reese: No, mom. Did you hear what CG said?
Stella: cg? oh, no. i heard you two talking though, you weren't very quiet.
Reese: Oh. Um, oops.
Stella: at any rate, what did he say?
Reese: That if I became a witch I could maybe find a way to actually cure you!
Stella: that doesn't seem right. are you sure?
Reese: I mean, I don't think he's lying. Also he said that the witches trying to cure the Starfall are the ones who figured out the spell Kennari is going to use!
Stella: well that, at least, makes sense. do you want to join them?

Reese nods her head as best she can against the weight of her mother's love.

Stella: you'll have to be kennari's apprentice, you know.
Reese: Yeah, but I mean... Oh.
Stella: i think it would be best for our family if you did this, but i don't want you to blindly choose. if it helps, kennari seems kind under her stern demeanor.
Reese: Mmmmmmm.
Stella: mmmmmmmmmm?
Reese: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Stella: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Reese: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-
