Indigo nodded, words stuck in his throat for a moment as he looked at Rhys. Then he looked away, unwilling to make the guy uncomfortable staring at him. I have this mental issue where I hear voices and I get this horrible anxiety, he'd said. That was schizophrenia, wasn't it?
He set himself back to the conversation all the same. "I tried," he said, picking through what he wanted to think about to find an actual answer. "Like, I called him on it when he said he didn't think about the future. He just said he's trying, and I don't think there was anything else, I think the subject got changed."

"Changing the subject is easy," Rhys said. He didn't mind talking about his issues and wouldn't fault Indigo for asking. It was important to be open, he thought, or the world view would never change. "He probably just needs time. I mean, he's just learned about this whole Seer thing in the past year, right? That's a big thing, I mean imagine waking up and suddenly having the power to see how your parents die, or to see the next big evil person to start a war."

"Yeah, yeah, I've been around," Indigo said. He doubted that Rhys knew anything about divination that he didn't. "He didn't just wake up seeing prophecies, though. That's not how it works. I mean, we've studied divination for years. He was having flashes of stuff for years before he finally made a prophecy, he didn't wake up seeing the future. He saw someone dropping their books, saw stuff like that, and ignored it because he didn't want to deal with it. That's what I'm talking about is him not dealing with it."

"Then make him deal with it," Rhys said. "It might mess up the relationship, but it probably won't, at least not in the long run. If you're supposed to make him confident, then you're going to piss him off sometimes, you're going to make him frustrated, but maybe that's what he needs, you know? But you want him to be the best he can, right? So it'll all be worth it in the end." Fights sucked, but sometimes they were necessary. If it weren't for a fight, he wouldn't have gotten help when he did.

Indigo's brows drew together, but he nodded. He hadn't thought of it like that. "So like, what do I do? I mean, I've really got like no idea. I'm all about peaceful protest, respectful disagreement. Do I pick a fight?" He wouldn't know how to do that, either.

"You don't...pick a fight," Rhys said carefully. "You just...make sure he knows how you feel and how you want him to feel. I reacted badly when Matthew finally confronted me about my issues, but in the end it worked out. And I'm not saying it'll work out, it might not. But when you love someone, sometimes you have to take the risk in hopes you'll help them. It's hard and complicated, but if you let him go on his own, do you think he'll figure it all out?" Rhys certainly would not have figured everything out without Matthew's help, though it was a different cause.

Indigo shrugged, truly unsure. He wanted to say yes, but he was afraid that without prodding, Jory would rather just give up and go hide somewhere. "I... can't tell him how to feel," he said. That was the only part of what Rhys said that he could really answer to. It still sounded like picking a fight. "And he knows how I feel." He'd certainly said it. It drives me a little crazy like... you're scared of doing anything because it might make you have one. I want to be with you, and I want you to be with me without being scared.

"Well, it can't hurt to just bring up the topic sometime. You know, just test it out to see how he responds. Be subtle and pay attention. If you're worried, then you shouldn't just let it drop," Rhys said. Of course, he could say this all he wanted, but it wasn't like he had experience trying to pull information out of someone he cared about. Matthew wasn't exactly a difficult man.

Indigo nodded, but he already knew how Jory would respond. I know, I'm trying. Wasn't that all you could ask of someone? "He's trying, though. I can't tell him to try harder. If he's trying, I should just wait, shouldn't I?" Wouldn't it be like calling Jory a liar to say he needed to do more?

Rhys shrugged and looked down the street. "You know him, I don't. Be supportive, I can't tell you much more than I already have. Relationships are hard, especially when there's other stuff involved. Remember, though, Matthew's my first relationship worth anything, so feel free to just ignore everything I'm saying," he said with a light chuckle.

Indigo tried to chuckle, but just ended up making an awkward coughing sound. "Jory's my first real relationship," he said. The months with Mari had been more about making out at every chance. Not that he and Jory didn't spend as much time as possible in bed together, but there was a lot more that was just as important. "Like, thanks for the advice."
