You can say anything
and I will not abandon you.
Unwrap the worst things you have done.
Watch me hold them up to the light
and not even flinch

Whumpee always kept their arms crossed over their chest. Protectively, Caretaker had assumed. A barrier between them and the rest of the world that had hurt them so very much. Caretaker wanted more than anything to help them feel safe again, and it seemed for a time like all they could do was act as another barrier. To block all of the bad things from reaching them.
Whumpee was doing better today, up and moving as much as Caretaker would let them while they healed. They were silent in their movements, simply standing and staring out the window at the garden with a warm drink cupped in their hands.
Caretaker kept an eye on them as they put dishes away. They smiled a little sadly to see their poor Whumpee so captivated, soaking in the simple peace around them. The last dish they had to put away went in a cabinet right behind Whumpee. Caretaker approached carefully so they wouldn’t startle them.
“Hey, Whumpee, could I get right there?” They asked gently, placing a hand on Whumpee’s arm with the intention of maneuvering them a little. Without guidance sometimes they didn’t know what was wanted from them, and Caretaker never wanted to see them panic again.
if I was a stray dog would you coax me into your car and bring me home and be patient with me as I learn to trust you and love me even as I snap and growl at you out of fear would you do that for me. would you still love me if our bond strengthened over time but I have a bad day and growl at you and get scared again and it sets back our progress a little. if I was a stray dog would you help me heal and show me you love me no matter what and tell me I’m good
