"Ahh, I see. Seeing it with your own eyes does make it hard to deny. Especially if it isn't just the trick of the lighting," she agrees.
Piper smiles when he says that his Mom still accepts that he's still him though. That was big.
"Staring is better than the worst-case scenario so that's a plus. From what I know, both of my parents had some sort of abilities so I know, if they were still around, I wouldn't have that to contend with. So I can only imagine how hard it would be for you or anyone else who doesn't have that."
Piper's mouth curls up when he admits he saved someone from the wreckage and nods in understanding. "Jordan, my cousin and I had the same issue. After our trip to the past and finding out our destiny, it was hard to explain to our friends that we'd had to fight a demon to get back home. How do you explain to them that at any point between then and when we turned twenty-one, creatures could come out of the woodwork to attack us? But that, along the way, we'd save anyone/everyone who needed it. So we left because we didn't want to bring the trouble to their doorstep."
Her voice was quiet but knew he would hear her, relating to him and understanding where he was coming from. It was hard. Especially when you weren't surrounded by others who understood.
She nods in understanding. "I suppose knowing the legends and seeing them with your own eyes would be completely different. Everyone thinks being a witch would be so cool or having a destiny but sometimes it's not."
"If there is ever a time to tell her, you'll find the right time. Otherwise, sometimes ignorance really is bliss. I imagine it's not easy."
Piper smiles at him. "I'm happy to have this talk and others anytime. I feel like I hardly sleep these days so when I say anytime, I mean it."
She glances around the diner and spots a couple of people looking over at them. "Are you some sort of celebrity," she asks teasingly. Though, she assumed it was just because it was a small town and everyone knew everyone. Especially if you were a doctor.
