WHO Misha Hunt
BROADCAST Fleet-wide voice
ACTION Somewhere on the Golden
WHEN July 5th

Okay, guys. Hear me out. This is going to sound like a weird suggestion, but... has anyone thought we've been almost too gloomy lately? Our mourning is all well and good. A lot of shit happened. But if you ask me, we're missing a pretty key component to the whole cycle. Where's the party? The wake. The remembrance that we're alive and we have our own lives to continue now enriched by the lives we touched while they were here.

You know. That kind of sappy stuff.

[ There's a pause, a quiet "um". ]

If anyone else agrees, I was thinking of setting something up in say—a week or so? Would anyone else be up for that?

[ No this clearly has nothing to do with the fact that her birthday is on the 11th. Mere coincidence! ]

Comments

[wolfuncaged]

I-

[It's always hard to explain, how much being touched terrifies him. It involves going into far too much of his past that he's willing to share. For the time being, anyway. ]

That would be preferable, if you could do...that.

[ Misha sees it, doesn't comment, doesn't really try to extrapolate. Just files it away and puts it together and lets it stay there. This isn't really something to muse on.

She walks forward, stopping on front of him and raising her right hand to hover over his right arm and gets close. Very close, enough to maybe brush the hairs on his arms but there's no skin on skin contact. Holding her hand that still and close isn't hard when she starts to channel her power, an invisible weave of thread creating a simple glove to hold her steady. Then the weave spreads out, gentle wisps latching on with no physical sensation. Her head tilts, she bites her lip again, tries reaching further with the power to wrap around Fenris' wrist and very lightly lift it up. ]

It's okay, that's just me. I can't... feel it, I observe it more than anything. Do you feel that little push?

[ She doesn't want to make him do anything against his will. She just can't tell if it's working or not unless she does something. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He tenses, like a coiled spring. There's the flicker of eyes that might be a flinch, the sort of reaction you see in dogs who have been beaten and instinctively balk whenever any hand comes near. He remains still, though, trying to manage his face back into a passive stare.

There's a slight furrow of his brow. ]

...Yes. I feel it.

[interspace]

[ She pulls back immediately to give him space, smile lighting up her face and head dipping just slightly as if to hide it. That's... frankly, fucking amazing and it's hard to ignore how excited she is. ]

Holy shit. That's incredible. That is so rare, I don't know if you get that, but it's awesome.

[wolfuncaged]

I...do not.

[His lips curl up into an almost smile. ]

But it is clearly important. I'm glad.

[interspace]

[ She sees that almost smile, and it's enough for now. Taking a moment to calm herself down, she lifts her head and beams. ]

Okay. Yeah. If I can do that, we can definitely see about giving you better control or... or anything you'd want to do. Since we're compatible.

[wolfuncaged]

That would be very welcome, thank you.

[And he is absolutely honest about that. A chance to understand himself better. ]

[interspace]

[ Oh, Misha's all about this. Helping someone else with the one thing she's able to actually do is like a miracle. Something that shouldn't happen, but is right here in front of her. ]

Well, let's start with the basics. We can phase through some stuff here and see how it feels comparable to your own and find our, uh, crossover point or whatever it is. Where the actual similarity is.

[wolfuncaged]

Alright, I think I can manage that.

[There's no small degree of trust he has to use up here, but she doesn't SEEM like she's going to take advantage of him. Still, he'll be guarded for a time. ]

[interspace]

[ She definitely isn't planning on pulling anything. The farthest she'll go is maybe trying to get to touch him just slightly to make the connection easier, but she'll totally work with his reluctance and not mention it.

AND THEN THEY PRACTICED MORE!! ]
