The main reason behind that is Caroline's status as my self-insert. In her position, I would have done the same - although the motive was not and would not have been owning up so much as voicing a fear. I imagine that worst-case scenario of going she-who-fights-monsters played a role in her nightmares...

Yes, Caroline and Veralyn bicker so much that even the mini-Discord has already become annoyed. Fear not (or start being very afraid, mayhap)! An annoyed mini-Discord can be a terrible thing to share an RC with! -cackles-

I'm glad you enjoyed it - it was loads of fun to write!

(And yes, Caroline and Maggie totally need to bump into each other. Bahaha.)
