[FILTERED TO MAGIC PEOPLE & SURIT.]

Are any of you adept at dealing with the mind? I guess it would be considered magical to you. Magical minds. ~~I just need to know how fucked I am if something goes sideways.~~ I have a few small questions, minuscule even, but I figured one of you would be able to answer.

	Okay. Good. That's settled then. I have some old exercises I used to build up my natural protections when I was younger, but I'll take all the extra help I can get. I haven't felt anyone reading me, but then that may not always be a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How long have you been holding on to that? I know you didn't just decide today. It might not, and there are a ton of reader types here that I've never even heard of, but we can practice in the safety of our respective apartments. I'll teach you signs to feel for until we figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Day one? Sydney called me your friend. I wanted to correct her. Okay. Teach me. But stay focused and get answers for yourself first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since day one? Surit, you let me dance up against you as friends when it could have been boyfriends. I can't believe you're trying to put me first even in information gathering. I'm focused ~~mostly~~. I'm getting answers for both of us, at the same time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't want to rush you. I don't like making you feel cornered. I just know how easily you get distracted and how often you put your own safety aside for other goals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We are going to have to have a conversation about what actually feels like cornering to me and what you think it is.

Wait, wait a second. I'm not going to fight you on the distracted part because I have had growth and I understand how my limitations work. And sure, do I get distracted? Yes, but I was told there was a dead rat named Patê that talked so that is a very fair distraction, especially in a place like this. But! You can't say you don't do the very same thing about putting aside safety for other people.

	If you insist. I didn't say it wasn't understandable, Tenn. The rat is a fair distraction. And all these other readers too. That's why I'm trying to keep you on track. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I promise, I'm on track. One of them even offered to go into my mind and poke around. And another person had a link that sounded similar to ours except it was sharing injuries, too. And I got you a pass to some book collection to help research about these sorts of things if it gets dire. I need you to help me be organized with all the information, you know I'm shit at that.

	Oh. Okay sure. I'll take a look at the books. But wait. Are you going to let her? Poke in your mind, that is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-09 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	No, not yet. I wanted to talk to you about it first before I made any rash, uninformed decisions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-09 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	It's your mind, it's your call. But I'd like to be there if you do. And I'd prefer if we got to know her a bit first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 12:04 am UTC (link)
	There was no way I would do it without you there, even if we did know her better. You don't even have to ask, blanket permission. For now and in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. Are you hungry? I'm going to make some pasta. Nothing exciting, but it's cheap. I need to get a job sorted now that things have calmed down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 12:44 am UTC (link)
	I could eat. Do you need help? Not with the cooking, but with the job. Do you need me to be a reference? I can speak incredibly highly of your skills, leadership qualities, and anything else you're too humble and modest to admit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Come over. My instinct is to just see what positions the DOA needs filled and maybe pick up a few shifts at local farms on the side. I don't think I'll need a fast-talking spokesman for either of those, but I'll let you know if I'm wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 01:28 am UTC (link)
	~~You know this would be so much easier if you just stayed with~~ Hold on, I need to be a proper guest and find something to bring over with me. I'll be on retainer, so you can use my spokesmanship for anything, not just job interviews. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 01:44 am UTC (link)
	You are more than enough all on your own. Retainer, wow. I'll need to come up with a creative way to reimburse you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 01:47 am UTC (link)
	How about you keep cooking dinner and inviting me over to eat with you? Not necessarily a creative solution, but it will suffice as payment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Oh. ~~I was thinking~~ I can do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Since I seem to be the gift for all occasions, I'll be over sooner than previously stated. Unlock your door if your hands are going to be busy with cooking to answer it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Remind me to give you my spare key. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 02:34 am UTC (link)
	That's dangerous. I could come over anytime I wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 02:38 am UTC (link)
	You can already do that. This way you just don't have to wait for me to open the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit tennalhin 2023-02-10 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Say that again on a day you want some quiet and I swing by, loud and unannounced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turit surit 2023-02-10 03:09 am UTC (link)
	If I need quiet, I'll tell you. And then you can decide if you want to stay and be quiet with me or if you need to go and be loud somewhere else. (Reply to this) (Parent)
