Room 312, Monday evening

Last week included: two performances of the play, finding out Edward was stuck in Andalasia, telling Leto about her and Karla killing his vampire self, and celebrating after the play.

Friday was fighting Azula which, well. Lead to plans to do that again, even though that might've been the first of her bad ideas. There was a good idea gone weird at

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?"

"Me and Karla," Tahiri corrected mildly. "Although yes, Ben's helping. I don't think I could stop him."

It was her turn to chew on her lip, and skritch Camille beneath the chin. "Maybe? I'm not sure. Just keep an eye out for me, in case anything happens? You've seen what I get like, you know the warning signs, right?"

"Yeah, I know," Dinah said, nodding slowly. Unfocused eyes, aggressive demeanor. The occasional extra curse word in another language. "We don't have classes together this semester. But there's enough other stuff that I can keep checking in, if you want." She held out her hand to Tahiri, her mental shields up, and said, "Anything you need. Really."

Tahiri carefully reinforced her own shields three times over before reaching out to take Dinah's hand. "Ben's in Professor Atreides's class with me, and Karla's in, um, my other one, and I see you around often enough the rest of the time that . . . yeah."

She squeezed Tahiri's fingers, then Dinah twined hers with the other girl's. "We'll get you through this." Somehow. "If it's not too private, how is Karla helping you? And is it okay for me to tell her I know? I don't mean, talking about you behind your back," she clarified. "But just so she doesn't have to try not to say anything to me. I know how seriously she takes confidentiality."

"I know," Tahiri said with a tiny smile. "She didn't say anything to Raven when she was right there. And . . . keeping secrets sucks void. You can tell her, and tell her I said it was okay. I'm not sure of all the details yet."

Just the ones that still kind of scared her.

"Okay. Good." Dinah quirked a smiled sideways at her. "Want some chocolate? And watch me give Tony a bottle? It's kind of hilarious."

"Force, am I glad Ben never had to do that to me," Tahiri said, laughing -- and grateful for it. "Yes, on both counts. Please?"

Dinah TK'd the bag of mixed chocolates from her desk over to Tahiri, then opened the mini-fridge to retrieve Tony's bottle.

"Waaah!"

"Yes, I know you're hungry," Dinah said long-sufferingly as he tried to wrestle it away from her. "Just... fine, be like that." She grinned at Tahiri, and Camille, who was now dozing on her lap. "And you know, any time you need to, you're welcome here. Tiny tiger cubs or not."

Tahiri snagged the bag, careful to keep it away from Camille, and popped a chocolate into her mouth. "I was never that bad," she felt compelled to point out. She might have been casting herself in too generous a light there. "And thanks, Dinah."
