I don't want you to worry about what I've just seen, about where I've just been.

Boy, had she been this tired since returning to Earth? Della was pretty sure she hadn't. While she was the sort who could stay up late adventuring and get up early the next day, ready for more, the little sleep she got needed to be quality. Lately? It hadn't been. Memories from the Moon, along with general insecurities about her time away - the mistake she made and all she had to make up for - were an on-and-off problem she dealt with, but since the Moon had invaded, it had been far more "on" than "off," and her sleep was suffering from it.

Of course, being so tired made it harder to focus on tasks during the day; tasks that normally provided invaluable distractions. It didn't matter how much she enjoyed something, her mind... Her heart... They just weren't in it. She had already had to back out of a fishing trip with Donald that day, offering the excuse that someone had to make sure the boys behaved while Donald fished and Scrooge did Binventory. Instead, though, she'd left the task to Beakley, and was taking a walk around the Manor grounds to try and clear her head.

His smile widened at that and he nodded. "Yeah, that's right! And besides all the people here, I know you've got the other Duckburg too, and me and my friends. No matter what, there's someone to go to."

Della grinned in turn. He was absolutely right. She had Donald and her uncle and Penny and Selene to talk to about this, and that was just the tip of the iceberg, too. "Well, that goes for you, too, Gobo. Whenever you need a friend - or a mom - you can always find me."

He was obviously touched at that, nodding once. "Gee, thanks. That means a lot to me."

Della nodded, as well, a bit more than he had. "Don't mention it, it's honestly the least I can do." She still felt so much gratitude toward Gobo for how he was helping Louie figure himself out, after all.
