"that isn't what i meant... you said i act like spending time with you is a chore, i was telling you i act the same way around all the adults. i am not stiff and boring, i just always seem to have a reason to be in a foul mood and spending time with adults always reminds me of why i am in a bad mood. if mom isn't in trouble and your not 'protecting' me from whatever is wrong with her she is doing the same because you are in trouble and on the rare occasion it isn't one of you its both of you and Amere is trying to 'protect' me from the truth about my parents. i am too mature to be treated like a child but i don't think i am ready for the full truth either and that puts all of us in an impossible situation and there is no solution. you want Kalian to stop being boring? get him talking about some 'fascinating' historical event, he gets quite excited. Amber loves listening to him ramble on for hours on end about things that happened five thousand years ago."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
