At What Price Respect

[brave_heart_verity]

Verity in the forum? Not a strange sight. Verity without coffee? Rather less common. Verity slumping, exhausted, into a couch? Unusual. Verity covered in scrapes, bruises, and dust? Definitely strange.

"Help isn't if it's forced on someone. This is true. Someone not in possession of all of the facts cannot give fully informed consent. This is also true. But nobody can be forced to listen." Of course Verity has things on her mind. Who here doesn't? "How do you reconcile that? Is ignorance truly bliss? Or do you do what's needed to save someone despite their choices?"

((A note before you come to play with Verity: she's got a magic spell stuck in her that lets her always know when someone is lying to her. This includes sarcasm and knowing when someone believes something to be true when it isn't. This doesn't include lies of omission. She can also see through illusions. Please respect this; if your character is trying to lie to her, please make that known so she can react appropriately. [I completely understand this isn't going to be everyone's idea of fun.] Thanks.))

It is that. It's cloudwhale song. And you look ready to nod off. Need a hand getting home?

[brave_heart_verity]

"Cloudwhale? Mm, no, I'll be okay. Thanks, though." A good walk should tire her out.

They swim in clouds, on a planet I've been to. Want a copy?

[brave_heart_verity]

"Yes, thanks. It's really nice." Where has this music been for the last 27 years of her life? Seriously. She will believe in cloudwhales if it means she gets to sleep.

*It's been on a distant planet in a different universe. Allow six to eight eons for delivery. Or, Samus can mail the file to your phone.*

There you go.

Ding! She checks the notification, turns it off, and smiles. "Thanks."

[onemorebounty]

You're quite welcome. See you tomorrow?

[brave_heart_verity]

"Yeah. I'd hate to think what you'd do if I tried to skip out on training."

She's joking.

Mostly.

*That gets a laugh from Samus. No answer more than that, though.*

Take care.
