Well, next full moon we'll be prepared, so that it won't happen again. And I can try to help with Sollux and Isabella to help them to understand.

[Bryn sounds so earnest as she puts her free hand on Alex's, gives it a squeeze.]

You see, there's something I've...I've wanted to tell you. I don't know if it will help you any but I'd like to try.

[Okay. She could do this. She could tell him her secret and...and it would be okay. Alex was her friend and he was like her. Sort of. Enough that it would be okay. Bryn looked around the otherwise empty kitchen once before leaning in ever so slightly.]

But you...you have to keep it quiet. Just...for now. I want to tell people myself, not have it spread around. Do you understand?
