It wasn't just that all the work she'd put into her feelings about her cocladist had seemingly paid off --- other than a few tense moments, mostly silent, she was at worst quiet and at best willing to hold conversations with True Name about a limited set of topics --- but that even in those tensest moments, she seemed to at least want to do something. Whether it was out of an earnest desire to improve the skunk's life or to simply get this situation over with seemed to vary depending on her mood.
It was her discussion with End Waking that really knocked em off-kilter, though.
It was her discussions with End Waking that really knocked em off-kilter, though. Her visits to her cocladist's forest sim came at least once a day, and it wasn't until the fourth that she was willing to share anything about their conversations.
"Are you sure that's even a good idea?" ey asked when she explained the idea. "I mean, won't that just make her feel worse if she also has to deal with all of that regret?"
"Wait, what? End Waking wants to merge down? I can't even imagine that."
"That is what we have been talking about, yes. I shared...I mean, I told him what she told me, and it has changed things."

Ey held eir gaze steady, frowning. "I don't think you're giving her enough credit on the empathy front."

Smiling gratefully, she nodded. "Thank you, my dear. Let me rephrase and say that having that additional perspective will give her new tools to engage with the world."
"Right, I can see that. I'm pretty sure I agree, too, so long as it's consensual between the two of them. I just worry that now's not a good time for it. If she's distracted processing all that when she's supposed to be thinking about what to do about Jonas, won't that put her at a disadvantage?"
"Right, that I can see. Given what all has been going on, I'm pretty sure I agree, too, so long as it's consensual between the two of them. I just worry that now's not a good time for it. If she's distracted processing all that when she's supposed to be thinking about what to do about Jonas, won't that put her at a disadvantage?"
"I suppose," she mumbled, then smiled lopsidedly to em. "But we have time, yes? Jonas said within the year, and I imagine it will take us at least a month to convince End Waking to join as requested."
