#tanith low

Okay you can tell I was STRUGGLING with this idea lmao

The whole canvas is titled "Missing Kenspeckle SOW" funnily enough (The first two are Val zoning out and running her fingers over Tanith's nail scars)

The entire thing was based on the fact that Val was probably super out of it for MONTHS on their Dimension X mission. I like to think that Tanith stuck to her like glue as much as she could and made sure she was never alone with her thoughts and ALSO by herself physically.

I think Skulduggery and Tanith really had to keep their eyes on her for the majority of the trek, because while whisking her away to train and force her mind into something else is easier, there's still going to be downtime where you have nothing to do BUT think. And if you're going to slip into deep depression and ptsd episodes, it's probably better to do it in the lap of one of two people you trust the most.

Bonus points for Skulduggery getting Tanith whatever she needs while she's 'stuck' under Val xD
