Patience is one of the hardest things to learn, you know.

[He says it with a lopsided smile, as if to say 'I was like you, once.']

However, taking a long time doesn't mean it's worthless. Trees grow over decades, even centuries, and they're incredibly valuable.

...And you have the time to slow down, to focus on what needs to be focused on. To learn these steps, and heal from old wounds that you've never allowed to fully close.

Rushing has it's place, but for this? For you? It's perfectly fine to learn how to wait, as long as you allow yourself to.

[And he reaches over and flicks her on the forehead.]

So believe in yourself, even if it's just in the tiniest of ways. One day, you might just realize why we believe in you.

[Patience isn't something she tended to want to use or learn, unfortunately.]

Do I really have the time to do that? With the whole pushing the Nightfall thing and the training bit, do I have time to take for myself? [That's... actually not a terrible question, even if she hasn't been allowed anywhere near the Herald shit since she first got here. The first time due to her instability and aggressive issues and this one more due to a lack of tact...

She is squeaking as she's flicked, brow furrowing as she focuses on him once again.]

Believing in myself is hard as fuck to do, but I guess I won't know if I can if I don't try, huh?

Of course you do - just because Nightfall may happen doesn't mean you shouldn't take time to focus on yourself. In fact, by not taking that time...it can end up injuring you in the long run.

[He nods at her question, smiling.]

Exactly. And the more you try at it, the easier it will become.
