How Did We Get Into This Mess - KOTLC Oneshots

Two Terrible Choices With About The Same Result

Sophie had just poured her ever-loving heart out to Keefe, and there wasn't the slightest reaction. Not a word, a blink, or even a flicker of recognition! Nothing! Sophie had thought her deepest confessions would at least merit a change in expression. Or him taking her hand. He was already holding her hand, technically. Though, the Keefe in question was the Atlantis statue, so that was to be expected. Still.

Sophie hadn't been able to work up the courage to tell him of her findings in person. Especially when they pertained to emotions. She was trapped. Gah, Empaths. 

If Sophie didn't tell him, Keefe would figure it out from her emotions. If she did, Sophie would be very embarassed and akin to a tomato. That would happen either way. Telling him would also require courage. Which, as we shall reiterate, she does not have. Understand?

 Sophie was bound to fall into the fire if she didn't jump, but if she let go, she was down into the frying pan. There really wasnt an option here. Edaline would have to tell him.

Sophie rushed home to the kitchen, where Edaline was making custardbursts. After gulping down some filling, Sophie explained her dilemma.

"So, I'll transmit to you what to say, and I'll be inside your head the whole time, from the safety of my room." Edaline was very confused. Confuzzled, so to speak.

"Honey, this is all quite muddling my mind."

"That's why I'll be in it." Edaline shook her head, silently laughing

"I know, with a mother's intuition, you have to tell him yourself."

"But then I'll blush so hard my face will look like it's up in Everblaze!" Edaline didn't try to conceal her laughter, delicately holding her sides.

"That would happen either way, dear." Edaline wiped a tear from her eye, and returned to injecting delicious filling in the hollow squares of dough.

Oh no.

(CLIFFIE FOR MY READERS! So, I have this writer kwami, Trisuu, who is starving. She feeds off of votes, comments, and promotions. She has long, foxlike ears, an onyx circle on her forehead, and peacock feathers shaped into a fox tail, with a plume of white fur at the tip. SHE HAS SPARKLY PINK SKIN! Anyways. Yeah. Want a part 2? I was trying out a new writing style.)
