Jade Fern Grove No, I’m not a go-getter

Fig listened to Sunflower's quiet confessions without judgment. He would've been a hypocrite to shame her for her feelings since he'd certainly felt the same way in his life about wanting those around him, especially his loved ones, to change. Fennec rose to the surface of his mind at that thought. She lingered there while he took a moment to contemplate how to respond.

"Lack of perfection is a common ailment amongst us all," Fig commented with a small smile, "I myself have been known to have the same desire from time to time, to wish someone else was different. It's hard not to in those emotional moments when you're up close and personal with their flaws. But, we're all flawed, and yet we all still receive love and acceptance from those who get up close and personal with ours, just as we give it to them once we've stepped back and taken a better look at them."

He watched her for a moment before asking, "If you don't mind me asking... What do you say to yourself in those moments? When you're feeling down about yourself or insecure?" It was a very personal question, and part of him suspected she wouldn't answer. That would be fine, though. He simply wanted her to consider it.
