Mia nodded.
"I, yeah, I feel good. What- what happened?" Mia sat up, pulling her some out of Simon's lap to sit next to him.

“Um, well…well what do you remember last?” He didn’t want to lie to her but he also didn’t want to accidentally do something to send her spiraling again.

"I… something had happened, and I was upset… I remember breaking a plate. Other than that… nothing." Mia looked up, eyebrows drawing together.
"Did something else happen?"

“I…” Simon sighed. He didn’t really want to tell her but he knew how upset he would be if this sort of thing happened to him and Mia lied about it. “Y-yeah..something else happened.” He looked over at her. “Are you sure you want to know?”

Mia's concern grew some at those words.
"I do," she said softly. She shifted around, offering her arms to Simon when she heard the stutter.

Simon accepted, hugging her gently. “I um…you were going to, or at least you were gonna try, to um..kill yourself….” he mumbled the last two words but it was still audible. “I stopped you, Astral did too.”

Mia was quiet, holding Simon close.
"I…" The woman ran her fingers through Simon's hair lightly. She was disturbed, by this news, but… it didn't seem to trigger anything in her.
"I'm so sorry I scared you like that," the woman said after a moment.

“I’m just glad you’re okay…” he said, glad that the news hadn’t seemed to trigger her. “Are you..okay?”

"I am, for now," Mia promised. "Whatever… whatever he did to help, it worked well."

“I hope he didn’t mess with you too much…I told him not to.” He said, his brow furrowing.

"I… I don't think he did," Mia said softly. She rested her head on Simon's, holding him close.

“Good….he said he was gonna try to be better. I don’t know if I believe him but…” he shrugged, hugging her tightly.

"I don't either," Mia said, voice soft. "We… have to be careful."

“I know. We will be. I won’t let him hurt us.” He said, seeming actually pretty sure of himself.

"Okay, then." Mia wasn't nearly as sure, but she wasn't about to bring Simon done with that.

I mean, if he really thought it necessary, Simon could always threaten the health of the child. “Are you sure you’re okay?” He asked softly, pulling away to look at her.

"I'm sure." Mia offered a small smile, cupping one of Simon's cheeks. "Are you doing okay? I- Astral didn't hurt you, right? He didn't try anything."

“I’m just fine, I promise. And no, no he didn’t. I told you didn’t I? He said he’d try to do better. But make sure I don’t trust him until he actually proves it, please?”

"Okay, then. I'll be able to do that, for sure. I don't trust him, not one bit." Mia moved to lightly hug Simon, letting out a breath. She just hoped the god wasn't trying to trick them.

He sighed a bit in relief. “Okay, thank you.” Simon had a bad habit of forgiving people and believing in them even when they’d done nothing to deserve it.

"You're welcome." Mia rested her head on Simon a moment, letting out a soft sigh.
"Hopefully we'll get through this…"

“Yeah….I really hope he meant it. For all our sakes.” He said, hugging her tightly. He didn’t know what he’d do if Astral had been lying about getting better.

"Me too. It would be… nice." Mia closed her eyes a moment, hugging Simon close.

“Yeah…it really would be. He does seem sincere about it but still, we shouldn’t get our hopes up.”

"Right. We can't trust him, not at all. Or trust our chances." They could change so easily.

He nodded in agreement. “But for now at least…I think everything’s okay.” He said, sighing a bit in relief.

"Yeah…" Mia offered a small smile, hugging Simon close.

Simon rubbed Mia’s back gently, so grateful that she was okay and still here with him. He wouldn’t take it for granted.

"I'm okay," Mia said softly, after a bit. "I'm… I'm not going to let myself get that far again, okay?"

He nodded. “Do you promise?” He asked quietly, looking up at her. He knew it was childish but it would make him feel better.
