Collins was quiet for a few moments. ‘I don’t know. It depends what kind of hurt, I guess,’ she said. ‘I mainly just… shut down. But everyone responds differently to hurt.’
-
"I wish hurt would just go somewhere else." Florence said, picking up one of the silver tinted glass shards.
-
Collins gave a weak smile. ‘Me too. But it happens to everyone, I guess. Some more than others.’
-
"I think the hardest part is getting out of the some category and into the others." Florence said. He mimicked the low, chattery call of a bird outside
-
‘Yeah. But it’ll get better soon,’ Collins said. She wasn’t sure who she was trying to convince.
-
"life has to get better somehow." Florence said. He then started a symphony of mimicked birdcalls. It started with a morning dove, then he added a cardinal, and a chickadee.
-
‘Hopefully,’ Collins said, nodding. She kicked away some of the glass.
-
Florence stopped his birdcalls and listened. There was a faint commotion upstairs. He decided to keep an ear out in case it got any closer
-
Collins frowned slightly. She hadn’t heard it until Florence stopped his bird singing. ‘What’s that?’
-
"some sort of fight upstairs. We're probably safe." Florence said, stretching his wings a bit
-
‘Oh, right. Does that happen frequently?’ Collins asked, frowning slightly.
-
"we're always fighting over something. Most of us are angry." Florence said.
-
'Okay. Will we be safe if we go up to your room? Or do you want to go somewhere else?' Collins asked.
-
"we're safe as long as we don't go two floors up." Florence said. Intervention was the easiest way to get lodged in a fight
-
‘Sounds good to me,’ Collins said.
