[un: sprite bulb] text;

If you need help, please ask for it. The people that care about you won't think less of you for it. They'll be relieved and honored that you trust them.

And if you think no one cares about you, you're wrong. I care about you. I'll look after you, if no one else will. I won't tell anyone.

Everyone can benefit from a little kindness sometimes. It's nothing shameful. There's too little of it here.

[While Xingchen agrees with this message, it feels very abrupt and pointed. Naturally, he worries.]

Has something happened, Eleven?

[You know, besides the world being on fire and all that.]

Yes. Is...something, in particular, bothering you?

[There's a little bit of guilt biting at him. Xingchen is here trying to act as a comfort when he knows he wouldn't take up Eleven's offer.]

[A little quieter, a little softer.]

Your burdens deserve to be lifted, as well.

[Should you so wish.]

I do not believe so.

[He takes a breath, collecting his thoughts for a second.]

In the time I have known you, your nature has been one of caring. You have compassion for those around you, even empathy, I think. It is only natural that helping others makes you feel better because you also want them to feel better. A selfish man seeking his own satisfaction may not see a beggar as worthy of love or happiness, even while tossing him a coin or a scrap of food.

Of course. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too.

[Mmmmm just going to move swiftly along from thinking too much about that.]

I'll do my best.
