You've always been so constant for us. It means so much to me. It always has.

[protective_logic]

I'm only as constant as Omega has been.

[ambitious_muse]

I mean. You both have always been here. But you've always been so confident in what you're doing, while Omega kept losing his job and changing plans. It's not his fault, of course. It's just...hard to grow up with.

[protective_logic]

He gave everything for us, Sigma. It wasn't his fault he couldn't hold on to the jobs. The littles would get sick or he'd get hurt or there would be a truly terrible customer that saw him as a doormat and he is proud.

[ambitious_muse]

And I understand that. Believe me, I do. I know how hard Omega has worked.

But I--

D, I have attachment-based anxiety issues. My ability to trust someone to always be there for me determines that attachment.

It's not Omega's fault. It's mine. I don't mean to hold it against him, but--it's so complicated.

[protective_logic]

Oh Dean... If you ever need anything, you know he'd drop the world for your sake, unless one of the littles needed it more. And then he'd probably put them in my hands to be there for you.

I know it's hard, but he loves us, very much. In his own way.

[ambitious_muse]

I know he would. And it's frustrating because I know that he deserves better from me.

I'm trying. I promise.

[protective_logic]

It's... okay to have a hard time sometimes.

[ambitious_muse]

Yeah. As long as you work through it instead of letting it drag you down.

[protective_logic]

Y-yeah...

[ambitious_muse]

Easier said than done, huh.

[protective_logic]

Yeah. All things given, it is.

[ambitious_muse]

It helps having someone I can go to. You, Beta, even Omega--you've been wonderful. And York and Louisiana.

But having someone paid to listen to what's wrong and not only try to understand, but give advice?

It helps. It's hard, and sometimes it hurts, but it's a good hurt.

[protective_logic]

I'll try.

[ambitious_muse]

If you need help, I'm here. Really.

[protective_logic]

It's not that simple.

[ambitious_muse]

It never is. Especially with the family.

But that doesn't mean I'm not here.

[protective_logic]

I'm not putting my problems on your shoulders.

[ambitious_muse]

You should see how strong my shoulders are. Swimming with Louisiana helps.

Joking aside, you've done it for me. Why can't I help you now?

[protective_logic]

That's not how it works.

[Look at the lesson he's learned from Omega.]

[ambitious_muse]

Since when? Isn't that what family is for? Helping with all the crazy non-family things?

[protective_logic]

Ah, there is the rub.

[ambitious_muse]

Tell me about work. How is Smithson doing? Are there any new helmet models you want to work with?

[protective_logic]

Smithson is good. He's a bit sad because his graduated apprentice is looking at an offer from one of the local Charon repair shops. It's going to make my training a little less fun because he's going to be busier.

[ambitious_muse]

Charon really does seem determined to snatch up everyone they can. It's like they think they own this planet.

Are you ready to take on some of the work for him, then? Or will you be spending more time with the accounts instead?
