Second Unused Utility Belt | Video

[Today, Cass is dressed like a normal person. She's sitting in the cafeteria with a mug of tea, perched in a chair with her knees drawn up to her chest and her oversized sweater pulled over them so she's just a blob of blue fabric with arms. Even the hood is up. With her chin on her knees and her eyes on the tea, she speaks to the comm quietly.]

Had all the words. Could make them, if I wanted. Could write. Talked normal. Was normal.

Couldn't see bodies talking. Didn't need. [Her fist comes up to rub at her temple.] Makes headaches, now.

Does that... happen a lot? Was confusing. Was not fun.

Zev.

[She likes that name. It's short, easy. Sounds nice.]

When do... you practice?

[love_slave]

I don't really have a scheduled time since there's not much to do here. So whenever you would like would be fine with me.

[hellofist]

Maybe when you do... Contact me?

[It's going to be hard for Cass to commit to this at first. There's still so much shame, but maybe learning with someone that's like her will make it easier.]

[love_slave]

I will. [She sees no shame in it. It's better than having to rely on a robot head to read anything in an emergency.]

[hellofist]

Thank you.

[Hopefully, it's clear that this offer means a lot more than Cass can really get across with just thanks.]
