Fics like with the certainty of the tide

She hears Mildred’s feet shuffle loudly to the door – the girl is barefoot and still manages to make more noise than Sybil’s socked feet – and doesn’t close her timepiece until she hears her near the door. “Uh,” Mildred’s voice startles Hecate into looking up. She’s halfway out the lab, stands in the middle of the doorframe and looks like she’s dredging every ounce of courage from her heart. “M-miss Pentangle said the same to me, o-once. To be kind to myself? Except she said it about – well, did you learn it from her? When you were children?” She snaps her mouth closed and her cheeks go red. Hecate feels her own face start to heat up and doesn’t like the way Mildred looks scared but confident that she’ll receive an answer. “No,” Hecate says, stands very still. “No, I’ve just begun to learn.” “Oh,” Mildred nods, looks relieved. “Well, I-I’m glad you’re talking to her again, then. Y-you should be kind to yourself, too.” Mildred looks like she can’t believe she’s opened her mouth and said those things. Frankly, Hecate can’t either. “Mildred.” “Hm?” “Go to bed.”
