I've noticed a lot of discussion lately on the ways in which we can re-purpose the Iskaulit, but I am wondering if any thought has been put into organization. The ideas people are sharing are good and I believe they should be pursued, [some more than others if you ask her,] but a mad dash for space and resources won't do anyone any good.

We may also wish to consider leaving some of the ship's space free. Things have been relatively quiet, but we may find ourselves in need in an emergency.

I understand that I'm still a child. It's harder to get people to listen to me.

[ Or take her seriously. Not impossible, just that it takes more effort. ]

[openhands]

That is often an excuse on their part for not listening at all. People will find any reason not to listen to you if it's not exactly what they want to hear on important matters.

That's where you need to be sure you don't give up and speak louder if necessary.

[princessia]

...yes. [ Easier said than done, but she really believes Cassandra is right. ]

I'm still not very comfortable with speaking to people.

[ Yet she does try her best. She hasn't realized she has grown much better at communicating since arriving on the fleet. ]

You didn't seem to have much trouble speaking to me the first time.

[This is a little bit of a lie. It's not like Cassandra isn't aware she's intimidating as fuck and Elize was initially hiding a little behind Cullen as a buffer. But she did better than some adults do around Cassandra, so hey...!]

[princessia]

...I did? [ She sounds surprised! ] Probably because you're Cullen's friend.

[ Totally believing that lie and rolling with it. Cassandra was scary at first. Even Cullen warned Elize beforehand. Then she told her about Druffy and everything got better.]

I've seen people much older than you not do half as well as you did meeting me the first time even if they do happen to know Cullen.

[princessia]

How did those people react?

[openhands]

Cowardly. Certainly not brave enough to look me in the eye.
