[Out of habit, her greeting starts with a sigh. Hey, for a long time the only person who called her was Sylens, and it really set a tone for phone conversations. Be glad it's just a sigh.]

What do you need?

That’s not my plan either, I guess.

[He nods.]

Then I can work with that.

And you have permission to use the boon on me, even if my emotions may be weird.

But I assume your silence is not consenting?

Re: Evening 107

[despitethenora]

[She shrugs.]

The boon is a tool. Use it if it’s useful.

Re: Evening 107

[othellovonryan]

....I would prefer a yes, no, or sometimes it's okay?

Re: Evening 107

[despitethenora]

Yes. But I’m not sure how much of a difference it’ll make.

Re: Evening 107

[othellovonryan]

It raises my chances of knowing I crossed a line over being surprised weeks later.

The boon is a mostly complete sentence. Without it, I can detect maybe every one in ten words.

Capable of misunderstanding still, I have experienced that, but it allows awareness I don't have normally so I can attempt to untangoe it.

Re: Evening 107

[despitethenora]

And sometimes it won’t mean anything. I’ve helped someone actively shunning me - what do you think the boon would tell you then?

Re: Evening 107

[othellovonryan]

Probably a desire to help and make the world better.

....

Potential hints of longing, resentment, resignation.

Re: Evening 107

[despitethenora]

Probably pretty big on frustration and resentment.

Re: Evening 107

[othellovonryan]

Makes sense. [And it does.] I wasn't sure how strong those emotions were still.

It did seem very unlikely it ever fully goes away, no matter what mental hoops have been made.

But I do think it may be surprising for others if they felt that in that situation. It seems to confuse a lot of people.

Re: Evening 107

[despitethenora]

I’ll let that be their problem.

Re: Evening 107

[othellovonryan]

True.

Interpretation still has its problems, but...I have already encountered that with emotion shares, so I'm ready to be mindful of it.

And it would be a situation of glass houses. My emotions can be...erratic. I often don't even know what I'm feeling, I can only imagine what that feels like to another person.

Re: Evening 107

[despitethenora]

I don’t know. Usually I just offer an emotion up to someone, when I think it’s right.

Re: Evening 107

[othellovonryan]

You mean giving someone else another emotion?

....for reference, don't do that without checking me, and if you feel basically nothing, don't do it. That messes up my processing ability and that very quickly leads to aggressive.
