[It’s been a long few days since the Kin’corrans went “home”; Mia doesn’t remember most of them. Since the 31st she’s been, for the most part, sound asleep in the battledome clinic, trying to recover from…well, everything. Dealing with the fire didn’t help, leaving her spent and dehydrated and coughing. The time she’s spent awake, though, convinced her that things in the village were getting back to normal.

So her first mission of the day, after waking and sorting herself out, is to find something to do that will alleviate this boredom and, just perhaps, help make her case for just going home to lie about there instead.]

I know it has been very difficult and busy in the village just recently. Given the date, it will only stay busy. If it is at all possible, though, I would ask a small favor: would anyone be willing to bring a few books from the library to the battle dome clinic? I promise to return them at the first opportunity. …Once I’m done with them, that is.

While I am thinking about it…well, I would not mind a little company either. I want to hear that everyone is all right.

[Missing out on more than a day always leaves her too disoriented for her liking.]

[[ooc: ~~We interrupt the delicious intro train to bring you~~ If you work in the clinic and would like to have that argument about going home, step right up! She's a patient woman.]]

That's good. [... Wow, not much to say.]

The new feather cycle is starting up again, isn't it? I hope you don't end up too busy.

Thankfully, not many New Feathers arrive with injuries. Not that I know about, anyway. ...I hope I did not ask for too much of a library that might not be in very good condition after what happened.

You mean the Kin'Corrans? Many of our books, especially the more valuable ones, were stored. The library was not overly harmed.

I mean everything, and everyone. I saw a lot of terrible behavior on both sides.

... Yes, there was. I can only hope that next time, everyone can be more tolerant.

Next time...

["Next" time, it might be Luceti in that position - who knows?]

I hope so too, Cayla.

Well, if there is a next time... with what they said about the third party, though, there could be. [That's more than a little terrifying, but at least Luceti has good fighters.]

But a little tolerance would do us good every time a shift rolls around.

We do all right when it is just us. There is nothing we can do and no person on whom we can take out our frustrations, most of the time, so we do what we can instead.

[Cayla nods, although Mia can't see this.] Yes. It would be good if there was nothing to be upset about, but it would be better to try to fix the situation than hurt eachother.

I think we all learned something from this, at least. [Even if, for some, the lesson was "learn to keep your mouth shut".]

This is true. I hope people are improved by the experience.
