Puzzling Moods - OTA
Hope never considered herself inclined to depression or any sort of sour mood. She was generally an upbeat, rather happy person. Perky was probably a good word for it, but lately she felt as though a gloom had settled over her shoulders. She could rationalize it away as simply being tired, after all Martini was an exhausting patient at best, dangerous at worst. Taking care of him was challenging, and while she was dedicated to making sure he recovered quickly and left the infirmary as quickly as possible, it was taking its toll.
Tonight, she found herself sitting at a table in the corner of the mess, pushing her dinner around her plate with little interest. It bothered her that she couldn’t shake this… funk. It was a sort of world weary feeling she’d never know before. She didn’t think she was unhappy. She had her science and good company in the few friends she had made in the camp. There was no reason for her to be so… listless. She needed to snap herself out of it, push it aside and… ignore it.
Easier said than done she discovered, though she tried to sit up straighter and actually took a bite from her dinner instead of just playing with it. Whatever was weighing on her wasn’t going away, even with positive thinking and she was very good at thinking. This was quickly becoming annoying. She had to figure this out. There was nothing she couldn’t figure out. Nothing.
Now if she couldn't only figure out how to start.
