For avanti_90: For Your Safety: The groupmind develops a psychological disorder of your choice.

It was hard to be a hermit when you had a meter long ferret following you everywhere.

"Why can't you go away?" he asked it.

Its whiskers quivered. "It's Our job to make you happy."

"I'd be happiest if you went away." He waved. "Look, I know you have ot keep me safe, but couldn't you just... stay out of sight?"

"Please don't make us leave," it begged, sounding... frightened?

"What's wrong?" he asked, despite himself.

"We were alone for over 1,500 years. We had no one to talk to but Ourself. We had no one to serve. It hurt."
