"Why do you worry?" The crimson dragon asked, his tone even, calm.

"I'm not sure." She replied woefully. "I don't even know why I reacted so strongly."

The dragon sat next to her, and folded his wings.

"You are the one at fault."

The fox blinked. "I beg your pardon?"

"You do not love or trust in yourself. Your insecurities are your only enemies, nothing more. I think you know it is so."

Her eyes cast to the earth beneath her perch, mumbling. "You say that as if I could do something about it this instant. I want things to right themselves now."

A deep sigh resonated from the dragon's lungs, causing some yellow moths to stir from their hiding places. They fluttered carelessly about the both of them.

The fox kept her eyes glued to the ground, until a soft nuzzle nudged her to turn around.

"It may take time," The deep voice soothed, a moth perched on his snout. "But I believe you are worth it, the both of you."

As she let the thought steep in her mind, her heart warmed. She would try her best to love herself, so that she could love the one that meant the most even better.
