You always lose what you neglect.

Someone has neglected you?

Mmm, I would say yes, but I suppose that is my lot in life.

Who would dare such a thing?

*Her eyebrows lifted* Are you upset?

Are you not?

Perhaps I am, a little. I had been use to it, but my vacation has made me very aware of it now.

No one should be accustomed to such treatment.

I believe it is treatment I brought upon myself, but your sentiment is very touching. It means quite a lot to me, truly.

*nod* You are welcome, of course, but no one brings these things upon themselves. It is always others.

Perhaps a persons actions warrent such behavior. I have always been of the mind set that I do not deserve anything better.

People deserve many things, but being cast aside is not one of them.

Well I am not a person, not truly. I would agree however that it is not a pleasant feeling to be set aside.

You are a greater person than most.

*She bows her head, her cheeks pink.* Thank you, but I fear that I am guilty of being neglectful also.

Of whom?

I loved a man named Grady, and I did not give him the attention he deserved or required.

*nod* Love often makes fools of us.

*Sighed deeply* Ah yes, it does. I suppose it was bound to happen.

I'm finding that if it was meant to be yours, with practice, you can regain some things.

Those are very comforting words, thank you. In some cases, I believe you are right.

Of course. I'd like to think it was always true, but nothing is always true.

Except truth?

*chuckles* Hmmm, truth is so frequently subjective, though.
