Comments

[ontrial]

Would anything help to strengthen you?

[fuga]

nothing that any would be willing to give.

[ontrial]

Some people are more willing to give than others.

[fuga]

kindness and insanity are two different things.

[ontrial]

But people do insane things in the name of kindness all the time.

[fuga]

i am unlikely to be convinced.

[ontrial]

At home, before I took the path I've taken in some of my friends' pasts, I was a Healer. I just want you to know that I don't have to know you at all to promise that I would help you if I could.

[fuga]

if it were possible to heal what ails me then i would accept that kindness.

[ontrial]

Is it possible? Has anyone tried? I rely upon the Force, I don't know if any other Healer's methods would be the same as my own.

[fuga]

i have tried.
my adoptive family tried.
i have read tomes and texts and studied for years.
there is nothing.

[ontrial]

I'd still like to try. You can't be without hope.

[fuga]

i have long forgotten the taste of hope.

[ontrial]

Then I'll just have to have hope for you.

[fuga]

i do not think that is how hope works.

[ontrial]

The more I learn the more I think I don't know anything about hope at all, which means that I can believe that it works however I want to.

[fuga]

how can you learn and not know at the same time?

[ontrial]

Hope requires a certain degree of ignorance - wilful or otherwise. I know that much but not how to find hope when you know too much to be ignorant.

[fuga]

perhaps it's simply a matter of looking elsewhere.

[ontrial]

Perhaps.

But I have no way of knowing where that elsewhere might be.

[fuga]

i fear we have time here to learn.

[ontrial]

We do seem to.

My name is Barriss and I'm on the Golden usually. If you ever want me to try healing your curse from a different perspective, please let me know.

[fuga]

i am lauralae from the starstruck.
perhaps i shall visit you, one day.

[ontrial]

The offer doesn't expire. Take care of yourself, Lauralae.
