::At this moment, she reminded Pietro quite strongly of himself. There was always more to do; there was always that underlying feeling of weakness. In the face of such a travesty as this, it could be difficult to muster strength. But he would give her encouragement when he had received none.:: "You are not weak; don't ever think that."

::Pietro squeezed her shoulder; it was evident she did not take his words to heart.:: "I say only what I mean."

"I don't feel strong at all," she said finally. "I'm supposed to be, though. I have to be." It was a statement, a realization.

::Pietro nodded once. She stated a realization he had come to years earlier, but remained true for both of them. They had to be strong, even when they do not feel it.:: "You are a survivor; there is strength in that."

She nodded once more. "I need to go for a run," she muttered.

::Pietro withdrew his hand from her shoulder. He understood that impulse better than most, and would never let himself be a constrictive factor.:: "Let the world stand still around you."

"Thank you, Pietro," she said. She was truly grateful for his words. Standing, she stripped off her shoes and socks, and, after a look back, proceeded to run into the woods, where she could strip off her clothing and change without anyone watching.

::It did not matter how quickly she ran; her movement remained slow to Pietro. He remained on the ground, watching as she disappeared into the woods for several moments, before he rose. He needed to speak with his Uncle about the situation, and then with Wanda.::
