Green Arrow: Blood & Stone
Salathiel for Ted Grant
A former boxer turned vigilante, Ted is Dinah's mentor who found her after her father's death and tried to help repurpose her anger into something constructive.
Oh, yes, poor pitiful you. You're the only person who's ever felt what you're feeling. Not your mother who still cared for your dad even though they weren't together anymore. Not your sister who never got the chance to know him like you did. Just you. (pause) So, tell me, how long do you plan on feeling sorry for yourself?
Keep up your energy, Di! You gotta be able to last through all these punches! You wouldn't have to try half as hard if you weren't wasting so much of that energy on being angry. Anger can work for you if you know how, but it can be equally as poisonous if you don't. If you can't keep it in check, it'll suck up anything remotely good out of you until you're just a shriveled up little ball of hatred.
Sounds like someone just got saved by the bell. Tell you what, go grab us some waters and take five. When I get back, I'll show you some techniques to keeping your energy up without expending it or holding back.
