There are clergy members who could offer perspective, but with no ill will towards Wren, the thought of it sounds insufferable.

She doubts he appreciates small talk much more than she does. To the point:

"I... need help, and you may be the most efficient option." And shockingly, the most tolerable one.

They would have to see how long that fair mood could last.

Approaching and hovering over him with a weapon within reach feels like a poor follow-up to their last encounter. Instead, she takes equal footing by sitting almost precisely eleven feet away, facing him.

And... she's off to seek out someone unlikely to welcome her. Not the wisest choice, given their interaction the day prior, but necessary; she will not delay this if she can help it.

She raises a brow but offers no comment, only a delayed, brief squeeze of her own.

"I'll have to find something worth cooking. I can nearly manage a meal without burning anything now.

Until then, Chavir."

With a small wave, she departs.

there are only so many seats open in my life, and i don't want to let my heart be swayed by anyone who's not sitting in one of them. of course, there are also people like you who bring their own seat and sit down.

You didn't need to listen to all that whinging. Once I have this mess figured out, I owe you dinner or something."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

She bursts out laughing, unable to wall it off behind her dour mood. Rudderless and frustrated, she now feels she might have a direction, if nothing else.

When she gets to her feet, she brushes dirt and plant matter from her pants and offers them a hand up.

"Thank you, by the way.

And you're immediately hostile to the slightest request for an adjustment in your behavior.

Almost like you grew up unloved and criticized by people who despise and judged your every action so you became aggressive to assert some sense of control over your life.

"Oh!

Well... good. I meant it.

...I should go find an asshole, shouldn't I? Perhaps I'll luck out and he'll explain what's wrong with me [and] give me a fight."

I think if I concentrate my psionic energy correctly I can blow myself up.

"It's not [cute.]" She's a very fearsome Psion who didn't blush at that assertion at [all.]

"But... yes, I suppose I am. I don't have many friends, and I would count you among them if you'd allow it."

She has her own thoughts on murdery family members, but for once she holds her tongue.

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"He's not an ass to that loudmo-

to that ranger he hangs around, and you're just as kind as what I've seen of her. Many people have it coming, [you] certainly don't."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"I'm not exactly a beacon of sunshine and fun myself. I can deal with his jabs.

...He wasn't an ass to you was he?"

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"No, no, I've seen proof of what you say myself. If you think it's a good idea, I'll trust that it's so. As much of a bastard as he seems, there was something... something I can't really explain about being seen so plainly.

And besides," she adds with the hint of a smile,

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"...I will need you to explain this plan of yours. Thoroughly."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"Wouldn't anyone? I've never felt like such a useless fool before."

She sounds genuinely baffled.

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"...Kind, patient, thoughtful." All the things antithetical to who she was. "Talented, and - yes, attractive. Braver than I think either of them realize, as well."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

Or worse - make [them] regret it.

Though they'd make my life a lot easier if either were less..."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"I suppose I hadn't considered the option." She hadn't considered that it [was] an option, not with her upbringing.

She drops to sit cross-legged beside Chavir and looks off in the direction of the shattered bottle.

"...I don't want to make the wrong decision and regret it later.

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"I don't [want] more choices, I want to feel sane again and improve my craft."

She has to set aside her grumbling to consider the question.

"...One finds the other attractive, but that's not surprising. I think the other humors the first at best."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

[Time to boost DEX]

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

I'll pencil it in when I can manage.

I'll pencil it in when I can manage.

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

To stop dancing around it, she just blurts out, "I'm attracted to two people and I don't have a clue what to do about it."

Tomomi Komatta @inelegantegoist.bsky.social · 4d

"That was... nice?" She appreciates the idea, but her frustration holds fast. Her attempt to mask that is weak even to her ears.

"I think I [want] something that fights back. If I knew what I [needed] I'd be far less frustrated."

Stretch the communication skills, they'd said. Ugh.
