I’ve seen it before in recovering animals. But I will be patient, for she is my friend and now a deeper part of me. When she woke, she started ranting and raving like a madhound, asking me what I did to her yesterday and how I managed to do it. She yelled and yelled, hurling accusations at me of how I forced her to watch and what was I doing with the bunnies how there’s no way that I was ‘myself.’ Oh, of course I’m not myself! I have felt more ‘me’ than I have ever before! I am double myself. Both in joy and contentment. But I don’t see what any of that has got to do with the rest of her crazed gibblings. Poor girl. She needs a bit of rest. As for how I removed her from the ritual circle to her bedroom, it was more than simple. I’ve always been particularly good at persuasion, after all! You know, when I put my mind to it! I will consider her request to untie her, but considering how strong she is and how capable she is of violence, I decided not to at the time. The silly dear told me she wasn’t hungry when I brought her her stew, and refused to eat it! She kept yelling and yelling, asking me to let her go so that she could find help and find someone whose name escapes me at the moment. She spilled a heaping spoonful of stew all over my precious quilted sheets when I fed her! Spat it right out! I know she’s sick. But for her own good, I told her sternly that she shall eat the stew, and after a while, she finally gave in and saw reason! I’m so glad for her. And you know what? After a while, she realised how delicious it was, too, for she finished the whole bowl! Note: I realise now that I had been using animals as a way to compensate for that which I longed for. But since I have it now, I no longer will be taking Tally. Henceforth, I will keep them all around for Rainbow’s sake.
