In a couple of days it will have been five months that I've been here in Vallo and while I know a lot of you have been here way longer, it's definitely the longest I have been settled in one place in a very long while. Where does the time go?

BELLS HELLS

Hey, I meant to mention this earlier, but with the wedding and now the race prep and everything else, it just got a bit lost in the shuffle. Last week, I helped a ~~girl~~ ~~young lady--no~~ new arrival that I came across while I was on my patrol. Her name is Fig and she's pretty young, I think, a tiefling, and a bit surprised about being here, which I think we can all relate to.

Anyway, she has some friends here, but because she's younger, I thought that I'd check in on her just to make sure she's eating and settling in okay. She might brush me off, but in case she doesn't, do any of you have any idea how to talk to a teenager?

FIG

How are you settling in?

Orym, I think that's wonderful! I did some quick looking for you and here's what I've uncovered:

Listen
Validate their feelings
Show trust
Don't be a dick
Oh sorry that was dictator.
Give praise
Share regular meals
Cut them some slack
Be avaliable
Don't take it personally
Ask open ended questions
Respect their need for privacy
Show interest in their life

Also, I have 99 questions you can ask to get the conversation going!

	Okay, all right. Good, this is a good list, FCG. I think this is all stuff that I would have appreciated as a teenager, but it's been a while since I've been one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never been one, but I hope to make it there eventually! Mostly, I think you should be yourself, Orym, because yourself is a wonderful thing to be! You could bring her to the house, if you wanted? Might be nice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's nice of you to say, FCG. That's a good idea, though. I might invite her to join us for dinner or something, if she wants at anytime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe that can be our code word! You know, we ask about our buddy, Dick Tater! (Reply to this) (Parent)
