Let me get back to you, darling.

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

If you insist, darling. The weekend?

Looking forward to it.

Likewise.

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

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

Of course. Taking care of yourself is so important.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'll just have to live up to her. See you soon!
