Office Hours, Thursday

[on_her_korhal]

It had been a while since Kerrigan last spent time in her office. Not that she really cared one way or the other, but it had been a good place to acquire intel on any visiting students... and the situation back in Koprulu had calmed down enough that she didn't have to spend most of her time telepathically instructing River from afar

Emma wasn't even going to knock anymore, she simply walked in and sat down.

"Is it possible to shield while sleeping without relying on outside devices?" Someone was sick of people's dreams in her brain, especially given what people around here tended to dream about, and it was really something Emma ought to be able to control before she tried going to college. "Or at least some sort of technique that will let me sleep more than three hours at a time?"

"You'll always have some input," Kerrigan said. She was calm, and she didn't look even remotely surprised to find Emma walking in right at that moment. "But there are ways to make it a little more bearable."

Like carefully cultivated telepathic apathy.

"I can deal with input, if I can find a way to shunt it off to the side like I do when I'm awake," Emma replied. "I'm just tired of waking up because of what's going on in someone else's head."

"You're never going to be able to shunt them as you do while you're awake," she drawled. "There are methods. The easiest is if you let some other strong teep set up barriers while you're asleep. Everything else involves being aware of certain parts of your subconscious."

Look, Emma should be glad she wasn't a Koprulu teep.
