Blackfoot Forest ≡Shadow Dancing

There were a number of situations that Collision likely could have avoided in life had he minded his business or had he simply spoken properly and asked the right questions.

Ears fell flat against his head as the boy roared to life. Collision remained seated. Truthfully, he wasn't worried about any harm. While he was far from at his strongest the lad wasn't in the condition to duel and, truth be told, this was presenting as nothing more than a teen having a tantrum.

"No one has pity--least of all me," Collision shrugged his shoulders and spoke what it had taken him all too long to realize, "Something bad happened, and that's unfortunate, but you're responsible for the clean-up. You're also responsible for asking for help when you need it," Maybe the emotionally daunting task of being responsible for your trauma wasn't a lesson the boy was prepared for, but it remained a testament that should be adhered to.
