[waves her hand.]

Everything. It makes things harder when it doesn't need to be. I about bit Aquila because they tried to hold onto me and I was like, mid fucking flashback. That's not their fault. It didn't need to be like that.

[guestservices]

[...hm. not good. they pause then, trying to figure out what, exactly, to say to that.]

...perhaps not, but you cannot force yourself to get over something like that faster than you're ready to. You know that, right? Irritating as it is, it is simply a healing process that will take time. Though being here likely exacerbates it anyway.

[evocationary]

[grumbles about this answer, too, shoving her hands in her pockets.]

I don't have time to let it heal. [the solution is probably not to pick at the wounds over and over again, but.]

[guestservices]

Okay, yeah, but-- [and they stop. because right. that's...a fair point, too.]

...I don't know. I suppose I'm not exactly well-versed in this either.

[evocationary]

I know. [she says, absently.] I appreciate it, though. You're just trying to help.

[a long sigh.]

[guestservices]

...trying, though the level of success remains questionable.

[it's a little bit of a joke, but. they are kind of concerned here.]

[evocationary]

It's better than anybody else I've talked to.

[she says, honestly.] ... You're a good listener. And you uh, you don't hit me with how your life also sucks worse, or uh, act like you're uncomfortable that I'm sad, so...

Thanks, I guess.

[guestservices]

Are people actually doing that to you? [now they just sound mildly offended.]

...you deserve people who are going to listen to you and people you can be sad around without having to navigate what level of comfort is allowed. That's all.

[evocationary]

[a little shrug.]

It's uh, it's not like they do it on purpose, probably. It just doesn't do any good for... uh. [taps the side of her head.] It's fine. You're listening to my complaints.

[...] Walk me back to my room?

[guestservices]

...understandable. I never mind listening to them. [...there's a nod.]

As you wish. I can act as an escort if that's what you desire. [but they're already leading her there.]
