all this pressure it's a weight on my shoulder

It's like watching someone try not to cave in on themselves, Vai frowning sadly and setting the jar down on the table next to Sunjata, so she can step forward and wrap her arms around him suddenly. "Hey, it's okay," she murmurs. "I asked so I can try to help, not to judge you. I think you're doing a lot better than anyone has any right to expect of you, under the circumstances. You're not by yourself, though, okay? It's what a council is for." Sunjata probably can't see it by now, but Vai's smile is audible. "Leafchange will be over soon, and all of this ghost shit will be over. Before you know it, it'll have been weeks since you've seen anything that doesn't belong, and you can get back to your usual tricks. I much prefer it when I'm icing a burn or bandaging a cut, anyway" vervain well i'll rest my eyes and i'll let the earth breathe
