Hello, this is Sonja's Temp Agency. I'll get back to you when I have a moment, thank you.

[ Have a smiling elderly kedan man offering you a kindly smile! ]

Miss Sonja. I wonder if you might have a moment to speak? My name is Professor Bralon.

I understand you have a particular talent in the field of critical and strategic planning?

[commandandcontrol]

Good evening, Professor. Please, go ahead.

I- yes. I was a commanding officer of my countries combined military forces back home, although there isn't much call for those skills here. [ She adds hastily after a pause- ] Fortunately, I mean.

That's quite an impressive accomplishment for a young lady such as yourself.

[ He chuckles a bit at her clarification. ]

Yes, let's hope it remains that way. I wonder if I might ask, what sort of training did you receive for that?

[commandandcontrol]

I went overseas and to attend an military school, Redstone Academy, although that was really just the formal aspect. I grew up around military officers and war meetings since my father is the Emperor.

That must have been intimidating when you were younger.

What is it you do here in Keeliai?

[commandandcontrol]

On the contrary, I always found it fascinating, and the generals of my country have never been anything but unfailingly polite. They are more of an extended family, really.

In Keeliai... I'm not sure if it could be said I 'do' anything. I work a little at the Shelter. I tried to bring something of my own culture during the new years, but I think that I might have made more people angry than anything.

And have you been able to establish that sort of social support here in Keeliai? It's important to have those we can both rely on, and provide for.

Angry?

[commandandcontrol]

Something something 'throwing a party in the middle of a disaster' etc etc.

[ Maybe that didn't sound like she was very respectful of the view, but the fairly split perception was actually hitting her really hard, and it was all she could do to make light of it to avoid crashing into depression. ]

I've made... some friends?

[ Valdis was always busy and never talked to her about anything important. Bakura was... maybe he tolerated her? Who knows. Pepper was nice! Tony and Gene would definitely wave back at her if she waved at them. Brigid hated her.

The fact that this was going way better than last time she was here really said something, didn't it? ]

[ironcircle]

Hm. I'd think since it was clear there wasn't done with ill intent, people should take that into consideration. But logic isn't always people's default, is it?

You don't sound confident in that... I'd be happy to listen, if you need someone to speak to.

[commandandcontrol]

Well, intention doesn't always trump consequence, but I appreciate your sentiment.

I wouldn't want to burden you with my problems, but thank you. [ She shouldn't have made it so transparent to begin with. ]

[ironcircle]

Very well. The offer remains ever open to you, Miss Sonja.
