Did you go on believing something that you know is not true just to give you comfort because you were afraid of what it might mean if it was all a lie?

Do Not Allow Fear to Guide Your Reactions - Solo by Harper

“Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.” — James Stephens

The morning had gotten away from me. I may not have been running late as I parked my bug in my spot. However, the fact that I liked to be at the practice with at least an hour to go over the day and plan for any unforeseen call outs, had not taken place this morning.

#Jenna and #Kenz had called to have breakfast together, things had gotten busy for me again with setting everything up for practice sharing with the #DiazFamily. And having #Juan in town I was sure would add another element of difficulties with my time. So, having my friends on a screen call gave me something to smile about.

#Carl had pushed out his first tooth #Jenna told me. #Kenz added that the baby boy liked to test the tooth out by biting his uncle #Seth as often as he could. They missed me, and I in turn missed them so much too.

Without knowing #Juan or seeing him they had jumped on the ‘We don’t like him’, train. However, I had to stop that and nip it in the bud. Reminding them that in the long run this deal would be of help to the community of La Push. The bigger picture was most certainly going to be a well needed achievement.

Or so I kept reminding myself as I pushed the door to the practice open to find madness taking place.

“Stop… Everyone… Please stop.” I kept my voice calm and collected, the shouting stopped, and the pulling stopped, and more so it gave time for the frightened soul before me ran to hide under the first set of chairs it could find.

‘There he goes again.’ A short man with light blonde hair huffed rushing over towards the chairs and started to pull on the lead. While the woman with him faffed around like a lost chicken. There was a mix of emotions palpable in our waiting area.

“Stop. Please don’t do that.” I told him setting my bag down beside the door and holding my hands up. “Jessica?” I asked her for some kind of explanation.

She rushed over to my side filling me in. The man and woman were Mr and Mrs Reeds. The poor scared soul was Prince Harry II. This was his first visit with us, after he hadn’t done well with another vet.

‘I’m sorry, we don’t know why he is like this. We don’t know what we are going to do if he keeps up this way.’ Mrs Reeds said rubbing her forehead.

“There is nothing wrong with him.” I told the woman. “He is feeding off the energy around him.” My eyes were on the man. “If we all calm down and let him be. Maybe you can both step away…” I pointed to the chairs to the far side of the waiting room. “Maybe even go take a seat over there.”

It wasn’t a request and Mrs Reeds could tell. She slowly started to step backwards, but Mr Reeds hadn’t let go of the lead. “Listen, you have come here to me. So, have faith I know what I am doing and talking about.” I told him.

Once Mr Reeds finally let the lead fall and stepped away. I shrugged out of my jacket and went to sit on the ground by the wall where the puppy was hiding. I could only see his body from where I had placed myself and seeing him trembling broke my heart.

‘Now what?’ Mr Reeds grumbled, and I had the right mind to tell him he could leave. But when I looked past the anger on his face, I saw that he was scared too.

I kept my voice as calm and low as I could. “Now we talk, and we wait for your puppy to feel safe.”

The couple explained that the puppy had a bad experience with their vet, some child had let off fireworks just as they had taken him out of their truck. That he had changed ever since, and they couldn’t even get him vaccinated.

As the two spoke to me, #Jessica gave them something hot to drink. Mrs Reeds leant into her husband and started to cry. I could see they weren’t bad owners; they were just unprepared.

I asked Jessica to bring me out some toys and the jar of peanut butter, as well as the first vaccines for the puppy. All the time I asked no one to speak to him or look at him. With a tug toy and a ball in my hand, I sat with my legs wide open on the ground. Throwing them around and playing with them. Slowly out the side of my eye I could see he started to show some interest in what was happening. But he was still shaking.

I explained to the couple that he was still young, and that they needed to rebuild his trust in them. The sounds of the fireworks and then I was sure their reactions had fed this fear into him.

Slowly the puppy moved his nose out from under the chair, I kept my attention off him, but at the same time watched him out the corner of my eye. He was a beautiful white husky puppy, with the most breath-taking ice blue eyes.

Mr and Mrs Reeds explained how they had wanted to get one for years, however their house had been too small. Now they had their forever home, they had the space to give their husky baby the right place to call home.

I rolled the ball out, but before I could stop it, it had rolled to the door of the practice where it was stopped by a foot. With my eyes moving up the leg and body, I stopped myself from groaning when I found #JuanDiaz grinning back at me.

He didn’t make any comments which I had been expecting. ( The look on his face told me he’d been watching me on the ground for a while and I hadn’t even noticed him. ) He set his bag and helmet down to the side, shrugged out of his jacket, and went to sit on the floor opposite to me. Rolling the ball slowly back.

As much as I really did not wish to, I could see the reactions from Ms Reeds and Jessica as he took his place.

‘What’s up Buttercup?’ He asked motioning for the ball. ‘I didn’t take you for a lay about on the job.’ He teased.

I rolled the ball back to him, and I saw how Prince Harry II pushed forward, his paw tapping the ground trying to play with the ball from afar.

“That name is not going to stick.” I told him, keeping a professional smile on my features. I threw the tug toy towards him, showing the puppy how we were playing.

#Juan rolled the ball back towards me, then caught the tug toy. ‘Oh, I feel like it’s already there.’ Throwing the toy back as I rolled the ball over to him again.

“Looks like someone wants to come out to play.” I smiled over to the couple who were watching #Juan closely. “This is Dr Diaz from Port Angeles; he will be here from time to time helping, with out of hours coverage and supporting the community.” I told them.

#Juan said his hellos and then told me the puppy had moved to my side. ‘He likes you.’

‘All the animals love Dr Jenkins.’ #Jessica told him.

I felt a paw on my thigh as the ball came rolling back towards me. I moved slowly to dab my finger into the peanut butter, but Prince Harry II didn’t trust me to take it. I played with pushing the ball towards him now, and he barked, it was playful. He was still shaking; however, it had reduced significantly.

‘Oh my god, he’s not played like this in weeks.’ Mrs Reeds told us. #Juan asked her to remain seated and not to move just now, which she did.

Slowly the puppy started to jump over my legs, using them as an obstacle. He was clumsy with his legs and feet, but when he finally came and licked the peanut butter from my finger, I could have cried. The poor thing was telling me that he was putting his trust in me.

By the time we were done, Prince Harry II had been jumping all over #Juan, rolling and tumbling over him and making him laugh ( and starting to make the annoying man look a little more human ). We had vaccinated the puppy, we had checked him over, we had even managed to make it a game to weigh him.

As #Jessica, #Juan and I stood in the doorway waving the Reeds off, I smiled to myself. This had been part of the reason I had taken a leap into this vocation.

‘Not a bad start to the day, even if I say so myself.’ When I glanced at #Juan, he looked pleased with himself too.

“No, not a bad start at all.” I agreed.

Prompto asked MrReed to go with him to the Humour and Hijinks festival, heck yeah. ☆*:. o(≧▽≦)o .:*☆

I love sim Prompto so much he reminds me of the real Prompto so much sometimes, and has moments like these, I could imagine from the game.

He saw the fireworks and just stopped and stared for a while, then...

He got super excited! Look at that adorable ray of sunshine. ಥ ‿ ಥ And I got all sad because I wished he could have been there for the Chocobo and Moogle festival with Noct, he would have loved it so much. ಥ_ಥ

Speaking of me...

Oh... oh dear... I think the time has come people! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ This is part 5, to see the previous parts they are tagged under #sims and chocobros or click down below.

Do you think Reed had his sights set on Paxton from the very beginning? If not, when do you think he really honed in on her as opposed to Barnes?

I still need to rewatch, but I know you and Jack have had ample time to study his expressions/actions, and I'm curious as to any analysis regarding them 😈.

I took Johnny's phone for this one hi @mrreed here.

Honestly? I think he was open to them both at first.

He did like how she was shyly and awkwardly "flirting" with him in her own sheltered and cutesy way, but he was also focused on how he could dig his claws into Barnes from the dead father angle.

After he decided that he didn't like Barnes lying and talking back to him, and arguing him instead of debating him, he majorly shifted his focus to Paxton. I think this was the breaking point for him.

He also definitely liked how she kept calling him sir, and even by the time she was horrified of him, she kept being super polite.

Now this is going into tin foil hat territory a bit but I also think his delusions about the fire acting different around Paxton had to do with why he "chose" her as his new wife but that's a whole different can of worms.

[sisterpaxton]

@mrreed analysis on the cinematography is so good.

[sisterpaxton]

Do you think Paxton would’ve been treated differently than the other caged women?

From Mr. Reeds reactions to her, it felt like the other women he’s imprisoned never accomplished what Paxton did in terms of his game. Or do you think it’s more of a cycle, and all the other caged women did exactly what Paxton did?

Love your insight and commentary on the film and the relationship between Reed and Paxton!

hmmm. See the little paxton in my head likes to think of course they're soulmates ! she'd have became his perfect little trad wife that never leaves the house. but realistically it's hard to say what would've happened. the whole point of heretic is everything aligned that night in such a specific unpredictable way it never had before.

if you want a better answer, here's what @mrreed has to say about it since he's the one who knows better how mr reed's brain works:

Yes, he definitely would have treated her differently. First of all he really seemed to like just how young she is, especially juxtaposing his prophets, she was smart enough to think for herself and observe instead of blindly follow, as Mr Reed likes to point out.

She actually matched his intellect and basically won over him by doing something he was not anticipating. They both lost the game but she's the farthest anyone has ever got.

But anyways if you take the no death version of the story, which would have been 98% more likely than anything that went down in Heretic, she would have been treated completely different because Mr Reed would have tried to pursue her much more gently and patiently.

Hard to answer though, even Mr Reed himself had a billion outcomes calculated so it all would go down based on her reaction as well. Two needs to play this game after all.

I think his end goal would have been to have her leave the church for him, find comfort and home with his presence instead and marry her spiritually in the secret of his own home. Since she's a very clever young girl, he would pursuade her to be with him by showing genuine affection and false sense of safety rather than luring her down to his scary damp basement.
