<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

All of those things are good. But the part where she hops into other peoples’ heads—does anything good come from that?

@Legend Begins

It can, I’m sure.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

What are you hoping that Eclipse gets out of this?

@Legend Begins

*Rallies things off while counting with my fingers*
Self control, discipline with her powers, knowledge, an understanding of others, someone who can look after her when she screws up, a friend, a mentor… Need any more?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

You're right. I can't say that you're not.

@Legend Begins

Maybe you’ve made mistakes. I’m not sure about your reasons for not being confident in doing something like this, but I can tell you that you’ve got more experience and wisdom in the field that she can learn from than any of us will ever have in our lives.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Just remember that anything we do now, we can't take back later.

@Legend Begins

The same for anything we don’t.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

At this age, though?

@Legend Begins

I meant it when I said she’s going to figure it out either way. And we have no reasonable way to watch her grow on our own.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

But is dreamhopping really something she should be mentored in? Being around her sends a message that it's something to aspire to be.

@Legend Begins

She’s going to figure out what she can do eventually. And without you she has no guidance at all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

She shouldn't want to live like me or do the things that I do. But by being around her, I'm encouraging that behavior.

@Legend Begins

What is it that you do? I don’t see anyone else who’s got the experience to mentor her in this field.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I'll try to, especially in the near term. Long term... well, I'm starting to think I might be a bad influence on her. I should probably phase myself out of her life and let her grow up.

@Legend Begins

What makes you say that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Now I'm curious where she learned that. Maybe I'll ask once this newness wears off for her.

@Legend Begins

You plan to keep an eye on her to when you can, yeah?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I mean more how Eclipse summoned you into the dreamscape.

@Legend Begins

She left a note for Jellal to join if he saw. I just did what she told him to do.
