how long have you been there?

"A Lifeworker..." with a small shake of her head she rethinks her statement.

"The Lifeshaper even, should not show favour to any one species. How can they care for all species if they do?"

Despite the lack of equality, using and interacting with what they failed to understand would inevitably bring unfavourable consequences. The encounter with the Didact could be -

Inclining her head, she proceeds to pour them both a cup of the rust coloured tea.

"This one is rather bitter," she informs him while setting the cup down and gesturing to a small dish.

"There is honey, should you need the sweetness."

“Sure. Sounds lovely.”

He takes a seat.

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 @masterjuridical.bsky.social · 4d

Indeed.

Glancing up to address him, she reaches for two cups dressed in black and white.

"Michael, would you care for some?"

"On the surface?" She hums, eyeing the mementos curiously.

"Your memory. Otherwise I may suggest that they represent two eras of your life," her head tilts as she considers the items further. She does not move to touch them, finding them too personal.

"'Plotting'?" She manages a light chuckle, "Certainty not. I am... considering what actions are available and where they might lead."

Part of her wondered if they knew what had followed. Did they know how they had been devolved as punishment? Hopefully not.

“Something has changed. Even I know I differ to who I -

Regardless of how little of it remained.

“There is yet a chance that the Didact may see his error. Many that found themselves here,” she gestures to the structure -

Legs folded underneath her. Knees pressed into the soft fabric of a large cushion embroidered with black and white. She doesn't move. She doesn't make a sound.

It's almost like she's asleep.
