  • When someone is hurt it's so easy to rush in... or, if they go quiet, not ask. It's impossible to always have the perfect response, which is why asking can be so handy ^_^. Thing 1: I have a hurt Thing 2: Do you want discussion, action or comfort? Thing 1: I'm not sure. I'd like to feel heard, then cake? Then discussion, then a funny anecdote? Then a reminder that the sun shines, then a few questions? and then shenanigans... and a bandaid, and then a nap? Thing 1 falls asleep with it's head back. Thing 2: Or maybe a nap first. It's been a long day.
