At Joan's insistence, John IV took his younger brother out to the forests to fish. He had his go-to spot where he would go (usually with his father or the other noblemen) to quiet his thoughts.
Him and Jennet just could not get along anymore. It was a mystery to everyone except Hextilda, who simply told the adults of the house that it's not her business and she would not bother herself with their petty squabbles.
When they got to the river, John showed his little brother how to properly hold a rod and warned him of what he would feel when a fish was on his hook. He was nine years old, plenty old enough to start learning the sport of hunting and fishing.
"So, Hendrie... There has been a lot of yelling back at home, hasn't there?"
"I suppose." The boy responded, focused on the river in front of him. In his mind, he should be able to see the fish swimming... but there were so many plants in the water!
"I know I have been arguing with Isabella a lot."
". . . Yeah."
"I think it's the stress of parenthood getting to us. You will understand one day, I'm sure of it. Now. . . You and Jennet? You two were always so close, why can you not manage to get along lately?"
Hendrie had a choice to make. He could tell on his sister, tell John that she was trying to eavesdrop on adult conversations. . . But that would be wrong. They're triplets and as such, he should always look out for his sisters.
"She's just acting like a real. . . PlantSim lately."
John bit back a laugh, shaking his head. "I understand. It is just us and many, many girls. But they have far more emotions than we do and we must learn how to accept that and live with them."
"Yes, brother.... Oh! Oh, I think I have a bite!"
Hendrie struggles with what seemed like a big catch. John didn't move to help him, figuring that he needed to learn how to do this on his own...
The brother both did learn something that day.
hendrie is very bad at fishing.

you know how when you hit Those milestones as a kid and a teen and people were like "wow you're 13, do you feel different?" or "you're officially an adult, how is it?" and you're like. ???? i am the exact same as i was 24 hours ago except now others have different expectations of who i Should be. but it's always been you. you're always you. at 13, 16, 18 or 21 or 25 you're still who you were.
being suicidal and recovering from attempts is the exact same, except it's not "i'm 16, shouldn't i be grown feeling? when do i get to where i want to be?" and it's more of "i'm 29, shouldn't i have refound who i was by now?" you don't feel like you anymore. you were you before. you should have died, and maybe you did, because what you are isn't you. now you're different, and no one looks at you differently but you.
i feel like i'm waiting for my compass to guide me to who i was looking to be at 18 and 16 and 13, for Me to look around the corner and i recognize them. but i'm no longer you. i'm not Me.
