A Seed of Hope [Kaede, Violet]

Too gentle? Kaede raised an eyebrow, more in response to the tone she had than anything else. She didn't seem certain of it, but, maybe it was because she didn't know if it was right to feel that way. Then she got the reasoning, and Kaede had a feeling she knew where this was going, especially when Violet said that it was similar to what the guy had planned for her. At that, Kaede found her nails digging even harder into her arm.

It wasn't too hard to see why this Vanyel guy was "too gentle" with her. Especially with how Violet referred to herself -- even if it was too overt, Kaede wasn't a complete idiot. She found herself looking at Violet for a minute, before her eyes went back to the ground, thinking of what to say next.

"Well, I can't really blame him," She started, voice low, and her own tone carrying nervousness. "But, does he...know that? If he's really that nice, he probably just wants to make sure he's not doin' somethin' to trigger you. If you don't want him to do that...why not just tell him?"

Kaede offered a light shrug, lifting her head to look at Violet. "Guys can't read minds, y'know. Be...transparent, 'n tell him what you want. Let him know what's okay, 'n let him know what isn't."

If the guy was really as nice and considerate as she was saying he was, being honest would only help the two of them out.
