From D1-B
Hello everyone. It looks like Zara did a fine job introducing me, so I'll spare you all the small talk. My name is Navid Arzani. I'll be in D1 when I'm not at work, and I'm looking forward to meeting my new neighbors as time permits. I run a few growing civil and religious rights advocacy organizations, most notably an interfaith education/tolerance program. You'll probably get tired of seeing announcements about our events, but you can ignore those easily enough. For those who don't ignore them, we can always use volunteers. Send me a message whenever you're interested, and we'll find something for you to do.

How are you faring, Brighid? I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier I was going to be your neighbor. Things have been a bit hectic since Zara and I decided to make the move. You'll have to come up and visit when you have a spare moment.

What's this I hear about a dinner party? Let me know what we should bring. I hate showing up somewhere empty handed.

It's been a while. I was sorry to hear about your father's passing. I'd like to stop by when you're available; we have a lot of catching up to do, it seems.

I'm sure in time he'll come around. I read about the accident. I assume he has a lot to process right now. Regardless, he's blessed to have you close and supportive. If either of you ever need to vent, you know I'm willing to listen.

And that would be extremely useful. I'll get the calendar to you first thing in the morning. It's updated frequently; I assume I should forward adjustments as they're made?

He's very big on independence right now, and I certainly don't blame him. But I just want to make sure he's not pushing himself too hard. My son's not supposed to go before I do - the entire incident and the immediate period afterward scared the hell out of me. And thank you, I appreciate it. The tower's good for business get togethers and I have a lot of those but venting I sometimes forget how to do.

Yes, of course. Forward as much as you want, when you want, and I'll see it all gets in there.

I can't begin to imagine what that was like for you both. He's come through this much - he's clearly got a measure of your tenacity in him. Really, Pierce, I can usually get behind working and setting personal matters aside, but don't forget to take care of yourself. Sometimes getting these things off your chest is the only way to be ease the pressure.

Thank you again, Pierce. It's a very good cause you're helping!

That he does. The stubbornness (or tenacity, as you nicely put it) is certainly a trait from yours truly. Ah, you are correct, Navid! “The sorrow which has no vent in tears may make other organs weep.” Meaning that it's either venting or a brain aneurysm. Elaine was always my sounding board. She was good at it too.

Not a problem! Happy to help anytime. If I can do more, please let me know. A little culture and education never hurt anyone.

	Listening well is a gift, I think. Perhaps you'll find someone else to fill that space. Until then, try to avoid that brain aneurysm however you can, hm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems to be. Any idiot can pretend to listen, but empathetic listening is something else entirely. Don't worry, no brain aneurysms are on the horizon. Though if it happens, I expect a damn good speech at my funeral from you, Navid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, so true. And I hate to even think of it, Pierce. But should it come to that, you'd of course get nothing less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Make sure it's reported that I bit it in an interesting way. Here lies the body of our Pierce Done to death by a banana It wasn't the fruit that laid him low But the skin of the thing that made him go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Truly epic. I'd say it'd be a noble death, but that I'm not so sure about... (Reply to this) (Parent)
