[ Hey look it's Clem! Hi Clem! Only she looks a little ... guilty, and sheepish today. She's curled up on a chair by the window, with a book open in her lap, and a look of concentration on her face. Occasionally she glances up and around at a sound of the apartment settling, or a bird chirping - any noise she wasn't expected she jumps a bit in surprise. ]

.... I kind of messed up at work today. I think the man I work for is mad at me.

[ Or just a little concerned, Same thing. But uh... what exactly she did to make him concerned in the first place ...well, she knew she screwed up badly there. ]

Is Thane still here?

[ She hopes he is, but...wouldn't be surprised if he was gone - that tended to be the norm; people leave. At least he hasn't died right? After an awkward pause, she decides to offer another question. ]

And... um..What's a tibisp? I can't find it in the dictionary.

Comments

[ohmydarlinme]

... that's okay. I.. don't.

[ It was one thing to tell someone about what her world was like. Discussing it from a more personal viewpoint was... harder. ]

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

Okay.

[He tries to think of something, anything, that might make her feel better. But this isn't as simple as a skinned knee or hurt feelings.]

...What do you do to get your mind off things like that?

[ohmydarlinme]

I think about what my friend would do.

[ Which... doesn't necessarily help to get her mind off of things like that, but it does tend to make her busy. ]

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

Oh. ...What do you think they would do, in this situation?

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Hrm. What would Lee do... ]

He'd help people if they had problems with stuff. Like. Fences, and finding stuff.. I guess.

[ He always seemed to keep himself busy, but always had time for her. ]

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

There's nothing stopping you from doing stuff like that, right? I mean, fences are a bit more involved, but helping people might keep you busy.

[ohmydarlinme]

I think a lot of people wouldn't let me help them, because I'm little.

They think I can't do a lot of stuff adults do.

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

Kids can do more than people would like to believe. Don't let it get you down.

[ohmydarlinme]

[ She smiles slightly at that. ]

.. Yeah, I know. [ Boy does she know. ]

I won't. Thanks, Desmond.

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

No problem. [Yeah, time to get off this uncomfortable subject.]

So, how's school doing?

[ohmydarlinme]

It's... all right. [ She won't mention she has trouble focusing in classes. ]

I like art class. I used to draw..sometimes. Before.
