<p>&ldquo;Yeah. She was sleeping. I don&rsquo;t know how much they&ndash; well, how much she has been sleeping of late, but given that she seems constantly exhausted, I&rsquo;m glad she&rsquo;s getting at least a little.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;This does seem to be taking its toll on her. When this is all over, I&rsquo;d like to sit down with you and her and learn a bit more about this.&rdquo; She hesitated, then added, &ldquo;Or at least with you, depending on how willing she is.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey nodded. Ey could feel the knowledge of what ey&rsquo;d learned sitting heavily in eir gut, clawing at eir insides. The Name, the pronouns, feeling the owner of the Name in the system. It wanted out, at least in some way, but there was no one other than True Name ey&rsquo;d be able to share that with from now until eternity.</p>
<p>Swallowing down the feeling clutching at eir throat, ey said instead, &ldquo;You know, when she was laying down to nap, she said something like, &ldquo;I need someone to anchor me and you are very good at that&rdquo;. Come to think of it, I got a note from Codrin#Castor that Tycho said similar earlier, that he said I&rsquo;m &lsquo;grounding&rsquo;.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Sarah nodded readily. &ldquo;You are, yes. Why do you bring it up?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not something I&rsquo;d really considered about myself.&rdquo; Ey spoke slowly, piecing together eir thoughts as ey went. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been questioning my path in life moving forward. I&rsquo;ve been very passive, very much like a recorder. I&rsquo;m <em>good</em> at being an amanuensis, but I also feel like I get dragged into it more often than I choose to do so.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Does being a grounding person help with that?&rdquo;</p>
