"I can't help it." Says Amber quietly.
"Just..." Mom says something under her breath, "Just don't worry about me. I am fine."
Ross shuffles uncomfortably, but doesn't say anything so I speak up, "Mom, please."
She grumbles something in response.
"I..." Amber stands, "I'll be back in a moment." She trots out of the room without waiting for an answer.
"That girl frets too much." Says mom after a moment, sighing tiredly. "I thought I had raised her to be stronger than that."

>>29624954
She's trying. I don't think any raising makes you worry less about someone important to you.

>>29624954
She is probably just scared about the possibility of becoming alone.

"If you could raise a child that way," Ross' voice is oddly firm, and his sides become more rigid, "Then I wouldn't work here."
"She can't just stop caring." I add
"I don't want her to stop caring about me." She says defensively, "I want her to not fret and..."
Her voice fades. and the minutes before Amber returns are spent in tense silence.
Head low, she leaves a tray with some cups of jelly on the bed and yelps in surprise with Mom grabs her hoof between hers.
"Amber." It's all she says for a moment. "Amber, tell me what you are of me." The earth pony seems too surprised to answer, so mom does for her. "You are my daughter."
"But I--" Starts Amber.
"I raised you, and I understand you are worried and care about you like you do for me, but I can't relax like Kublai told me to if you are tense all the time. Do you understand?" Amber nods weakly, "Have some faith in me. I'll get well." Mom pulls Amber to hug her with a single arm- the most touchy she is in anything but a few select occasions. "And if I am wrong you can be as mad as you want to."
"Mh..." Ross, still rigid, stands, "The buffer should be copied by now. You coming with me, Far?"

Bed requires my immediate attention.

I nod and follow him, trying to catch up to his rapid walking.
"Sometimes I think she's more of a machine than I am." Says Ross after a moment of walking.
"Mom?" I ask. His face is locked into a rigid grimace. "She..." I stop talking, realizing she never actually apologized.
"Far, if she had said that to you I would've hit her." He says mater-of-factly. "She doesn't get to hurt one of mine."

>>29634583
Please don't hurt my friends and family ross.

>>29634583
I know Ross. I don't want to make excuses for her, but she's frustrated right now. Maybe even a little scared. I think what worries her more than anything is the idea of us seeing it.
