This could not be happening right now. It just couldn't. Molly had far too much on her mind right now to be dealing with the best friend of an already difficult Childer begging for his own Embrace. "Listen to me, darling. I understand what you heard and what you saw. And I know that it seems like it must be quite simple, but it isn't. Embracing someone is a commitment of time and hard work. You don't just Embrace them, and then it's all sunshine and lollipops. In fact, as little sunshine as possible is preferred. You're an Aussie, love. Sunshine is a huge part of your homeland... beaches and all of that. Is that something you want to give up? I'm not telling you that you're absolutely not going to be Embraced, because I can't make that call, but I can tell you I wouldn't be able to be the one to do it."

The poor guy's reaction floored her, though, and she stared at him trying to make sense of the steady flow of information that was coming at her, and just looked at him as he turned to leave before throwing her hands up to try and stop him. "Hey, wait!" she called out, reaching after him to grab his arm and try to slow him down. "Listen, I will not Embrace you. Of that much I assure you. But I'm not saying that I can't introduce you to others like me. And I will let you see Jett. Just... for the moment, will you calm down and talk to me instead of freaking out on me. It's going to be all right. And Jett's safe."
