[They don't...pick it up? Aerith doubts it but she's not going to say anything for now.]

Well...no?

I haven't gotten any training. Maybe I missed it?

[artistinexile]

Perhaps not formally. But you are one of a large percentage who has told me of this character flaw of mine. One I fear is growing larger by the day.

I wish to...remedy it. And if not, disguise it as something else.

[planetdialup]

I think...this is going to be a long, ongoing process. A long term project, which means that there may be some gentle reminders and corrections.

By more than one person. It's not going to be comfortable. Because...

I'm not sure what you'd want to disguise it as.

[artistinexile]

A cultural translation failure rather than a communicative one.

[planetdialup]

Are you planning to explain if anyone asks about said culture?

Especially if someone from that culture arrives on board?

[artistinexile]

No. I would be very surprised if any other Chiss came to the Barge. It is a near impossibility.

[planetdialup]

And yet...the Barge seems to thrive on the impossible.

[No going down the rabbit hole of why it would be impossible for Chiss to come onto the ship!]

We might want to come up with a different backup plan, or a different reason why there may be misunderstandings.

[artistinexile]

They will not come.

[said with deadly certainty and a certain amount of sadness. He knows his people.]

Yes.

[planetdialup]

[She sighs quietly. There's pain there.]

Someday, we're going to get some comfort food for you and we'll talk about your people.

For now, we need to see what we can do on seeing what your limits are. And...we're going to have to make some lists.

With Florian, just to make sure we have the right idea about what he was asking.

[artistinexile]

Perhaps.

Hmm. A list of what?

[planetdialup]

List of possible solutions, including methods, flaws that people have mentioned to you, people you can rely on for support, and what you think is the problem and backup plans.

Not in a report though.

Words on paper, to tape onto a poster, so it can be rearranged as you'd like.

Make it less work, more fun.

[artistinexile]

You have interesting ways of defining 'fun', Aerith.

[planetdialup]

Colors are fun!

[She doesn't want another report Thrawn.]

[artistinexile]

Defining my flaws in them, less so.

I will speak to Florian.

[planetdialup]

All right.

Good luck with the talk.
