Let others cope.
Once the bite is finished and a string of fiber from the celery nudged from between teeth, I sigh. "This... ah, this feels like a strange request to ask of me in particular, my dear."
An eloquent shrug. "I have given it thought and stand by my decision. It is not a requirement, of course. You need not say yes."
"Why me, then?" I smile faintly, gesture down at myself. "I am this, yes? I am... ah, I am a bit of a disaster."
"You work on rather a lot of committees related to this already."
"Yes, but in an advisory role. I... ah, I am not normally one to talk to strangers, or even acquaintances, about these sorts of things."
She chuckles. "I know, What Right Have I. That is, in part, why I am asking you, though. You will be a new face to many, and it will break the context of how many more already view you. It will show them that you are part of this world, too."
I realize I am scowling and do my best to soften my features. "I see."
"Consider it a part of your ongoing work with the committee," she says, gesturing back toward the celebration, now taking the form of a long line snaking away from the feast table. I am reminded of tails, and have to work to dismiss the thought. "A part of this restoration is that it is an ongoing process. We should learn *how* people are restoring. Repairing the world is a never-ending process."
I work harder to keep the scowl off my face, all the more so for how much I have expounded on such, have said *mitzvot goreret mitzvot*, have written on the words of the fathers, "You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it," and how they fit within sys-side life.
And so I sigh. "Very well, Rav. I... mm, well, I still do not understand why it should be *me* who does this, but... ah, but I will do my best."
She smiles most kindly and bows. "Thank you, my dear," she says, then gives a shooing motion with both of her paws. "Now, go. Eat. Spend some time restoring yourself, too."
