"I can see that." Silas said cheerfully, approaching the side of the harpy's bed. "Could you retrieve some standard clothing for Ophelia?" Silas asked to doctor pierce. The older man nodded and left the room, throwing the bloody IV needles into a hazard bin. When the two were alone in the room...

Silas walked down the hallway toward Ophelia's room. It had been a week and she was getting closer and closer to being fostered. She was coming along nicely though. Every day the two had better conversation and the fragile harpy opened up more. Today was the day though. Ophelia would be...
"If you think you're ready to hear it now then I'll tell you. I just thought that being on the roof and more comfortable might make it easier for you to listen." Silas said with a gentle tone.
"Dont get yourself worked up over it." Silas said scratching his head. "But look." The man said, pointing around the room. "Look at all of these colors." Silas said with a starry look, his neck craning around the sunny room with reflects purple and green everywhere. "It's quite stunning." Silas...
"Well you're healing fast, so as soon as those IV needles come out, we're going to get some fresh air. As your psycholigist I can't condone you sitting inside all day given that you're a cryptid meant to be outdoors." Silas said still rubbing his chin. Ohphelia stretched near the end of the...
In the back of the ancient Parenth museum, a building overshadowed by surrounding super structures, was a massive archive room that the citizens of the legendary city had alp but forgotten. Even the library staff itself had only a few old sage members who knew of the large room. One of these...
A cool strong wind from the north blew over the stinking and bustling mega-city of Parenth, momentarily alleviating its fifty million citizens of the stench of fried street food and rotting garbage. The world had changed. Five thousand years ago, humans still arrogantly believed that they roamed...
Silas nodded. He to had good times that he remembered. One of those, similarly to Ophelia's, was of when he and his family would sit out in the woods at night, listening to the sounds of the forrest. "Do you think it would make you feel more at ease to go sit on the roof?" Silas asked curiously.
Jace suffered through his long day of classes. It wasn't usually difficult, but Lily was constantly on his mind and the hardest part of class was focusing on the material that was so much less enjoyable to learn about than Lily. When the final bell tolled and Jace exited the history building...
"It's only going to work if you're invested in the story." Silas said with a knowing look. "I can see that you're a little reserved about this." Silas scratched his chin for a while as he said this. "What's something you used to do as a kid that made you happy. It could be a small habit, or a...
"I know I know." Silas said. "Just take a deep breath." He said crouching down next to the bed instead of standing, to reduce his intimidating size. "You didn't want to hear about it and I didn't want to tell you because of how close we still are to recent events, but I think It's time for me to...
Silas sighed. "You'll need to stop saying you're sorry as well. There's nothing to be sorry for." He said. "This sounds really corny, but nothing is impossible when you have friends to support you. I'm you're friend and we'll get through this." Silas got up again and brought a tissue box from...
Silas could see that Ophelia had trailed off and stood up. He walked slowly to the side of the bed and waved his hand in front of her face. It took a moment, but she eventually snapped back to him. "I know this feel like a lot. Thats because it it." Silas said with an empathetic smile. "The...
"Today is going to be about confidence. Confidence in yourself and confidence in people." Silas said with an apprehensive smile. "You may have difficulty trusting people. It's easy to trust hospital staff like Dr. Pierce and Amelia, but outside in the world, there are no assurances. So you're...
"Excellent." Jace said, standing from his chair. "The Quad would be a good place to meet, in front of the school fountain more specifically." He decided. "Well, it's about time to head to class. I'll see you later this evening. Goodluck in class today." Jace said eyeing a clock behind Lily on...
