[in a tone that suggests Great Annoyance:]

I am also annoyed that people have told you not to be mad or upset.

[camena]

[ she complained about it first but finds it a lot easier to turn around when it's someone else expressing things than herself. ]

Well, it's whatever. We're finally getting good news hearing from you guys more directly, so. Fine.

[bindings]

[grumbles.]

I am still angry with Gerard. [this is a little sullen. but.] We are moving forward. It's all we can do, now.

[camena]

You're allowed to be. It's not like—it's not like feeling angry is bad, it's more about what you do with it.

[bindings]

[I should not tell her what I did to him when he arrived, probably.]

I have been behaving.

[camena]

[ a long pause. it's. fine. ]

I'll take your word for it.

[bindings]

[help]

... It isn't so bad here, you know.

[camena]

Oh yeah? That's good to hear. I always kind of figured things would be kind of okay after the getting there part.

[bindings]

It is nice to not have to solve trials, but I won't... ah, brag about it. I know it's been difficult.

[camena]

No, what? You can brag! I want to hear it was better over there! I'd be happier the better things were for you.

[bindings]

[her lips twitch a little.]

There's a hotel. It's nice, I could have my own room if I wanted it. There are nice clothes, and everybody has always been kind to me. I had missed many of the people here.

Oh, and there's an extensive bookstore of fairy tales. I like it there.

[camena]

Oh, hotels and bookstores are great. Two of the best parts of going anywhere, for sure.

[ 'could' have her own room. ] You wanted a roommate, though?

[bindings]

I will have to tell you about Homestuck.

[moving on] I did, yes. I spent the first few days with... [thinking...] Matsui, Buzen, Hikari, Rin, and Yang Guifei, in the same room. And then Fei Du arrived, so I spent time alternating with him, the previous room, and sometimes with Count D and Rang's room.

[graveyard said we are within 10 feet of each other at all times]

[camena]

Uhhh sure? [ help. did shenhe read homestuck? alex has no idea what homestuck is. ]

Well that's pretty fun. Like a big sleepover! Hopefully with snacks and everything.

[bindings]

[she sure did read homestuck]

It was comforting, if a little stifling. I'm not used to being around a lot of people.

[camena]

[ she's so powerful and i respect her. ]

I get that. Like, being alone kind of sucks... but being around a ton of people can drive you completely crazy sometimes, too.

[bindings]

I don't like crowds. But it didn't always feel like one. Only sometimes.

[camena]

Crowds are fun sometimes. You can kind of disappear in them. But that feeling's just not always... good? And also people are annoying. People can be... so annoying.

[bindings]

[she looks like she VERY MUCH agrees with that last bit. yes. people can be so annoying.]

Like Rang. [yeah sure]

[camena]

He seemed awful at first, but he's not really that bad. ... But I guess you've spent more time around him than I have.

[bindings]

[this is funny because:]

I care for him greatly. But he is annoying. [rang's like one of her besties, she just cannot stop herself from catkicking.]

[camena]

Sometimes the annoying ones are the ones you care about the most. I know how that is. [ her deeply annoying best friend... ]

[bindings]

[a little smile.]

Someone here, or someone where you come from?

[camena]

Back home. No one here has been annoying in quite the same way, so it's been different.

[bindings]

[she looks amused.]

Understandable. [...] I didn't have friends, before I came here.
