All Kytana had done for days was pace. Around and around. Since receiving that group message from Sunni, who was so kind and generous to want to invite others to live with them, others like them, she was annoyed. Outraged. Not to mention her bike was now, also, in pieces filled with bullet holes and stained with her tears. She could only take so much. She couldn't do it anymore. So that afternoon she went up to her room with a stomp stomp on the floor, clearly in distress, banging things around as clothes and such were thrown into a bag. Mostly memorabilia went with her. Mermaids did not need clothes. Not a lot of clothes, anyway. Just enough to be decent in front of the one man down there and her friend.

Kytana was muttering to herself. More like shouting. Anyone within earshot--which was particularly wide of range considering the abilities of those living in the home--could hear her. Hate this place, she said. Gotta get out of here. I can't do it anymore. Pack, pack. Her bag was filled and then dragged down the stairs without so much as a breath to then find her parents. Cheeks pink, eyes clearly tired and her hair a mess, the girl needed to cut herself some slack.

But she never did, did she?

"Mom. Dad. I'm moving out!"

	Steve had been in the process of putting some finishing touches on Michael's nursery when he heard the stomping. It was a familiar sound that had started almost as soon as his daughter could walk. He sighed heavily and went to go find Kytana. Maybe he could fix it, maybe he couldn't but he would at least try. "What's this about, Kyt?" No point in beating around the bush.

Micha had sensed the malestrom of emotions coming from Kytana at about the same time, and was also long accustomed to it. Her daughter felt her emotions and acted upon them with much more passion than Micha typically did herself, and she wished in this particular case there was something she could do to help. But Kyt never seemed to want her help.

"Are you all right sweetheart?"

	"NO!" The girl burst with as much energy as usual in her upset state. "I don't belong here! I don't belong with those people Sunni wants to bring in! And I am not alright!" Kytana point around wildly as she said this, her typical flailing as she was a hand-talker. "I'm gonna go swim with the fishes--but not in the sense that I am going to die."

	"What do you mean, you don't belong here?" He tilted his head. He really wasn't sure what had gotten her all worked up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Micha didn't bother to hide her confusion. "But there were other Jedi in the temple when you were growing up, you had classes together with some of them. Why is this different?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's not the same, and I am so done!" Kyt had tears in her eyes. "The one is going to be trained, and just like everyone else she will be better than me!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve sighed again and walked over, pulling Kytana into a hug. If she fought him, he'd let go but right now, he was going to hold her. "She's not going to be better than you." At least not right away, but he kept that part to himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She was going to need a long meditation session to release her frustration into the Force, Micha could tell. They'd gotten past this stage in the future all three of them came from, but Kyt had come from an earlier point in the timeline and things weren't going the same way they had then.

"The only competition is the one in your mind, Kytana. Your father and I only want you to be happy."

The girl accepted her father's hug as they were the best, but it didn't really calm her down. She just sort of stewed there and glowered into the man's bicep before closing her tear-filled eyes.

"I know, mom! And I never win even with myself!" Kytana sobbed. "What am I even supposed to do with my life anymore?!" She shout into Steve's arm. "We don't do anything."

	Steve moved a hand to gently stroke her hair. "What makes you happy, Kytana? I have painting, there's work in the hospital, at the book store. You could open your own shop of some kind." (Reply to this) (Parent)
