Chapter Text
Morrigan frowned as she looked at the note. I thought Jupiter had an expedition today. She thought, but the note telling her to come to his study told her otherwise. She shrugged and walked to Jupiter's study.
"Come in Mog," Jupiter called once she'd reached the door.
"Hi, what's up?" Morrigan asked, sitting down next to her patron.
"Well, I'm going to be honest with you," Jupiter began. That confused Morrigan, as he almost never gave her a straight answer without her demanding it for weeks first. This was serious. "I think you need professional help."
"With what?" Morrigan asked.
"Mental help Mog," Jupiter clarified.
Morrigan looked at Jupiter for a minute, then down at her arm where there were still scabs from what had happened two days ago.
"Oh," Morrigan replied, "why?"
"Because it's become clear to me that you have trauma, and I'm not exactly sure how to help you with that," Jupiter replied. He was being scarily transparent. "A therapist or other mental health professional would."
"I-if this is about what happened on the weekend it was just one time, I-I won't do it again!"
"I think this is part of the problem Mog, and to be honest, I think you're so used to being treated like shit that you don't even realize anything's wrong," Jupiter insisted.
"Oh," Morrigan replied, "what's therapy like?"
"Well, there's a person and you tell them stuff about your life and answer their questions then they'll help you deal with stuff," Jupiter summarized.
Morrigan nodded.
"And I think it'd help you, but of course, it's up to you," Jupiter added.
"I-I don't know, w-would I have to tell them everything?"
"Well not everything, but you should tell them as much as you feel comfortable with so they can help you."
Morrigan nodded and looked at her patron. He thinks you're crazy. Her mind said. He wants to get you to a therapist so he doesn't have to deal with your bullshit. He doesn't care. Morrigan wanted her mind to shut up.
"Mog, I'm not doing this because I don't care, I'm doing this because I'm not a licensed therapist and you deserve to get proper treatment," Jupiter said, snapping Morrigan out of her thoughts.
“I’ll go,” Morrigan agreed reluctantly.
