and some sweetness

a few days ago, blithe was upset about something. apparently, she had broken something of bram's. she was crying about it, saying over and over again how sorry she was, and that it was all her fault.

now, i know bram, so i fully expected him to flip out, start bawling uncontrollably, never to be consoled again. apparently, i was wrong. very wrong.

"blithe," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder, "it's ok. it was an accident. don't cry; it was just an accident. accidents happen. just like if you drank the rest of my juice box, how do you think i would feel?"

"upset," she said.

"yes, i would. but accidents happen, so it's ok."
