no subject
But if I say it like that they'll just get more angry with me
no subject
This is, by the way, not be saying they were not, I'm simply helping you practice making your case in a way that won't upset them.

[STILL, SOMEHOW, ABSOLUTE TRUST.]
The reasons why I took the risk at all aside, since I think we can all agree that Leo needed an arm and that this was the most secure and safest way to ensure he got that arm with minimal chance of infection or complication-
I didn't tell my family about the possibility of my potential incapacitation because they would have questioned me. Out of worry, I know, but the fact remains that I was tired. Very tired. I needed complete and utter concentration in order for it to work, and taking the time to explain to my family all the ins and outs I had planned would take far, far more energy than I had to spare.
Putting off the surgery to explore other options was also not a possibility; it had already been months, and the longer we waited to outfit Leo with an arm, the more difficulty he would have adjusting to it without pain.
I DID tell Draxum that he would have to take over for the surgery in the event I was incapacitated, so he knew. And I asked Raph to watch Draxum in case he decided to be evil or something for a moment, so that was covered.
The only thing I hadn't anticipated was being down so long. Honestly, I am a bit flabbergasted; I thought that at most, I would sleep for two days, not an entire month. I'll have to rework my calculations to anticipate a longer downtime the next time something like this is necessary.

It doesn't mean the others are wrong in how they feel, of course, everything is just a matter of perspective. Rue just happens to understand this one.]
I believe I understand where you're coming from, my love. Your reasoning is sound to me, though I do have one small question.
Knowing what you know now, that it took a month to wake, not two days, have you explained that piece to any of them? To let them know that it was never your intention to hibernate for that long without telling them? I feel that part of the reason they are so offended is how long you were sleeping and how worried it made them.
no subject
Which is why I'm glad it didn't become an issue this time. Now I can better plan for the future

Honestly Rue, I've given up. They'll be angry if they want to be angry, and there's no predicting it
I'll just have to be more thorough in my tests next time
no subject
We will figure it out, my heart. And they will cool down after too long, we know this.
no subject
Leo will hold this grudge until the end of time so there's no point
The one I'm most concerned about is Raph
no subject
Does he normally hold grudges for long? That doesn't seem much like him.
no subject
Raph doesn't usually stay angry for a long time
But he gets
Disappointed
[Which is ONE BILLION times worse, only just barely edged out by Dad being disappointed]
no subject
How can I help, dear? Shall I speak with him? Try and suss out his feelings?
no subject
no subject
Have you tried to cast your own, ah, emotion magic, darling? It would be as simple as having a conversation with him. I know Raph would listen to whatever you'd have to say, you'd just have to offer him the same courtesy.
