Let me get back to you, darling.

Hm. I think I would feel like I had to do that if you were being cruel with it- but I'd give you the option first of giving up the power and keeping the secret. Is that a fair compromise?

[oohforeshadowing]

Extremely. Thank you.

[oh_no_matopoeia]

Request sent.

Want to have lunch next time wearing a stranger's face? We can pretend you're Bob from my world.

[oohforeshadowing]

Only if it's in the Enclosure. I feel like it'd be showing my hand, if Bob is hanging out with my warden in public.

[oh_no_matopoeia]

Well let's hold off either way until you're feeling a little better. You should keep getting rest.

[oohforeshadowing]

If you insist, darling. The weekend?

[oh_no_matopoeia]

Looking forward to it.

[oohforeshadowing]

Likewise.

And are you going to be in the counselling office in the meantime? Tending to the ship's emotional needs?

[oh_no_matopoeia]

No. I think I'm just gonna have some time by myself, for a bit.

[oohforeshadowing]

Of course. Taking care of yourself is so important.

[oh_no_matopoeia]

My mother says if you don't take care of yourself you'll be no good to anyone in the long run.

[oohforeshadowing]

She sounds very much like someone who doesn't want to have to waste much time clearing up your messes.

[oh_no_matopoeia]

I mean. She'd be there for me if I needed her, unconditionally. But yeah she's big on 'teaching problem solving.'

[oohforeshadowing]

Maybe you've identified my problem already, darling. An overwhelming absence of parental teachings.

[oh_no_matopoeia]

Or maybe we've discovered my problem as a warden; I'm not my mother.

[oohforeshadowing]

Well, that's not really within your power to resolve, is it, darling?

[oh_no_matopoeia]

I'll just have to live up to her.

See you soon!
