Tahiri just wanted to show off her new retouched icons had . . . had a pretty quiet day, actually, on the mental front, and that was enough quiet days in a row that she felt safe enough about venturing out to check in on a friend.

This meant ending up on the third floor, knocking. "Hey, Dinah?"

"C'mon in, Tahiri!" Dinah called, taking back the yellow dinosaur she'd won in New Gotham from Tony. "Bad tiger. No dino."

"Tiger?" she asked as she opened the door and stuck her head in. And spotted Tony. "Oh, no."

"Ohyes." Dinah sighed, and glared at Tony.

( ... )

"Don't give him ice cream," Tahiri warned instantly, sounding like the voice of experience (that she liked to think she was in this case). "He'll only get more hyper. I think I tried to knock everything over or chew it up the week I was a cougar."

Said perfectly innocently, because it wasn't like she knew.

"How am I?" she asked, shutting the door behind her again and making a face. "Not bad, for someone who's rapidly going crazy. Crazier."

A yowl from Tony gave his opinion on that, but Dinah wasn't about to take that into account. "Shhhh. Here. Eat the dinosaur." She looked up at Tahiri, and gestured to the bed, the chair, the floor and said, "Pull up some space. Crazier? What's going on? I thought Crazy Girl was ... calming down, or something."

"It'll give you a stomachache," Tahiri told Tony, and opted to sit on the floor, knees tucked up to her chest in the drawn-in posture she'd unconsciously adopted so much lately. "Not calming down. Force, I wish. I get twitchy around the droid parts in Ben's room more than I used to, and I don't . . . she's never really fully asleep any more, I don't think. Wednesday night was bad. Really bad."

"What happened?" Dinah asked, her voice softening. Camille stalked down the bed to hop to the floor, and butt her head against Tahiri's knees. "Wednesday. I must've missed it on the Radio, whatever it was."

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] weetuskenraider September 8 2009, 04:44:52 UTC

"It was really late," Tahiri said as she reached out to stroke Camille's ears. "It was getting noisy in there, and I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd head down and work out until it wore us both out."

Her smile turned wry. "How was I supposed to know the salle would be so popular late at night? First one of the new girls came in, and Ben, because of course he was awake, and then Raven, and that's when everything started to go wrong." She tapped her temple. "She really doesn't like Raven much. The last thing I remember was her offering to take some of my pain away, and the next thing I knew she was on the floor, Karla was there, and I . . . she'd just tried to attack them. Karla showed me the memory of it afterward."

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] blondecanary September 8 2009, 04:53:14 UTC

"Oh, God," Dinah said, dismayed. Camille was purring away as Tony sat down for a good gnaw-fest on the dinosaur. "Why doesn't she like Raven?" she asked, giving it the same emphasis Tahiri did. "And are they all right now? Wait, that explains why Karla was so tired on Thursday." She blew out a breath in a sigh. "And you don't actually remember it happening?"

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] weetuskenraider September 8 2009, 05:00:13 UTC

Tahiri shook her head, looking a little guilty all over again. "I can't say for sure, but I have a guess. As much as the Yuuzhan Vong love pain, the thought of someone taking it away has to be pretty awful. It means you're weak or unworthy, if you can't handle it. It's an insult." She was piecing this together consciously as she spoke, as much as explaining it to Dinah, and she was keeping a careful watch on her own reactions just in case. "She says they're both all right. I don't think they were hurt, just shaken up, but it could have been worse."

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] blondecanary September 8 2009, 05:06:00 UTC

"That makes sense," Dinah said, and winced. "I've told Raven she can't eat my bad moods-- okay, that's not a good way to put it, but it's how I think of it. She wants to help, but..." She could be pushy with it, a little. It made Dinah reconsider her own attempts to help people. "I'm glad they're both okay. And you're not physically hurt." She gave Tahiri a considering look as she stroked Tony's head. "But mentally, you're all... kerflooie?"

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] weetuskenraider September 8 2009, 05:10:42 UTC

"That's the thing. Mentally, I'm fine right now." Tahiri let out a frustrated laugh. "But any second, that could change, and who knows if I'll have enough warning next time?"

She sighed and patted her lap, sending a mild Force-suggestion to Camille that it was okay to climb in if she wanted to. "I'm hoping that made her reconsider her, um, approach. She means well, I know. It's just dangerous."

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] blondecanary September 8 2009, 05:18:00 UTC

Camille absolutely did, so she hopped up and kneaded Tahiri's leg with soft paws, then curled up with a steady motorboat purr, rubbing her face against Tahiri's leg.

"Has it happened before? I mean. Wasn't it Raven being around that set her off? Or do you think it's just anything now?" Dinah asked, biting her lip.

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] weetuskenraider September 8 2009, 05:23:07 UTC

"I don't know," said Tahiri, now with a lapful of purring kitten and feeling just relaxed enough now to keep the frustration out of her voice. "There used to be patterns -- too much stress, specific things that would set her off. Now, I think she's just getting stronger. We're working on it."

Re: [Late but NFB anyway, nyeah] blondecanary September 8 2009, 05:26:25 UTC

"We who? You and Ben?" Dinah asked, checking. "Or Professor Skywalker?" She scritched Tony under his chin and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
