Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[Stormy]

"Okay. But have you actually done something to fix that? Because I have tried myself to patch anything with Jade but she literally refuses because you keep putting things in her head."

[TheLastLion]

"Yes, I did. I'm still trying too by growing closer and opening up yo my friends and family." Said Destiny. "It's required me to be honest about how broken I am as a person, but I'm trying to put the pieces back."

[Stormy]

“Well, maybe Jade should be more open to that as well. Because as I said, she refuses.”

[TheLastLion]

"You never gave her the chance to have a life outside of her royal duties."

[Stormy]

“I didn’t trap her.” Kord says. “You still have to have standards.”

[TheLastLion]

"Standards that basically rob her of any kind of agency." Sadie replied.

[Stormy]

“You don’t understand those standards because you’re not a princess.” Kord says. “The same way she doesn’t understand if she is with you she can’t be a Queen. You have to be able to have an heir.”

[TheLastLion]

"I get that she's your sister and that you would do ANYTHING to protect her," Destiny responded. "But even you have to realize that you can't protect her from everything."

[Stormy]

“Yes, and I never said I could. But you should probably tell her to take what I just told you into account if she’s staying with you.”

[TheLastLion]

"I recognize that as well," Destiny conceded. "That's why I let her explore the wild for a week on her own. Eventually you're going to have to let her make her own choices."
