[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.

27/9/12 01:53 (UTC)But you are conversing verbally now. When did you learn?
[Aya still has yet to learn how to use smaller words. Sorry, Cass. :(]
PRIVATE
27/9/12 02:32 (UTC)There was... psychic? He put in the words. Messed up stuff. Didn't... ask first. Couldn't fight anymore.
Undid it. Fighting... more important.
PRIVATE
27/9/12 02:36 (UTC)You traded language for combat knowledge?
Why?
PRIVATE
27/9/12 02:58 (UTC)Couldn't, without fighting.
PRIVATE
27/9/12 03:05 (UTC)You fight...to protect? Or for revenge? [A very important distinction to be made.]
PRIVATE
27/9/12 03:26 (UTC)[It comes out loud, is accompanied by her hand hitting the table, and draws the attention of the people around her. She doesn't mean to, but her? Revenge?]
Never revenge. I'm good.
PRIVATE
27/9/12 03:49 (UTC)It was never my intention to imply you were anything but. I have known good individuals who were driven by revenge. However, I am glad to hear your motives are otherwise.
You are very noble to give up a convenience for the sake of others.
PRIVATE
27/9/12 04:30 (UTC)I didn't know. I'll never... do it again. Ever.
