[Abel can't help but laugh, shaking his head. It was like the blind leading the blind.]

I don't know. I think you did fine? At the very least, I wasn't uncomfortable, just nervous by how short you were in response.

I'm used to people pushing more, I suppose. Or not setting boundaries at all. It's a work in progress, but It's necessary, I think. I'm not in service any more, I'm allowed to ask for things...it's just not something I've had many opportunities to do.

Re: TW SA mention

[abrightboy]

I've been told I push too much, so I'm trying to... not.

Do you want to leave it there for today and we can talk again when you're ready?

Re: TW SA mention

Well, perhaps we can workshop it. Some people need a push. But it depends on when and where you apply pressure, right? Finding those moments is difficult...but can be necessary.

And I think that's fine with me. I need a shower after that anyways...

I'm trying to err on the side of not accidentally hurting people.

Re: TW SA mention

I think we all do that, but being too conscious of it might keep you from saying something someone needs to hear. I don't know...I didn't have friends before I came here, just Cain, but I do know all we can do is our best, so.

Thanks for bearing with me Malcolm. This is uncomfortable, but I'm sure it will be hard until it's not. I can deal with that.

[He gets up, stretching before nodding to the terrarium on the counter.]

That's beautiful by the way, You'll have to give me an animal tour sometime. But I'll leave it for later, let you get back to your day.

Re: TW SA mention

[abrightboy]

Oh. Okay. Yeah, sure. Um, if you come by when Will's dogs are here, there'll be even more animals.

[He stands, but he doesn't think he needs to walk Abel to the door.]

Re: TW SA mention

They don't have dogs in space, so I would very much like to meet Will's dogs.

[No animals at all really. His cat had been very necessary once he'd gotten in. A companion to talk to that just listened and loved you? Perfect.]

Have a good rest of your day, Malcolm, I'll see you later.

[And, with a little wave, he'll head out.]
