...cultural thing? It was inconvenient that he mentioned it because my people believe me fully recovered, but - I don't expect political sensitivity from my father. Kib can form an opinion for me.

She's embarrassed and shorter on self-confidence than most Bells and busy enough that she won't get around to doing it anyway on a short term basis without prompting. Kib's going to be freaked out by the idea because she's a psychic therapist, unfortunately.

If she's busy it's almost certainly with things that are higher priorities.

They'd look like it on paper but Warp's got two Bells resident and she didn't have to do much prep work to go on a vacation of unspecified duration. She can find time for you if you want her help.

I'm functional. I hurt Pterodactyl once but that was only the once, don't think it'll happen again.

Take a moment to model what that sounds like outside your own head.

If she wants to try fucking around inside my head and she would have that ability with or without my cooperation, then she's welcome to.

I don't actually know how cooperation-requiring her powers are.

Well, if you like, ask.

Sigh. Can someone here take them to Stork when they're done here and then Kib can take them to the next stop and so on, I'd like to go meet up with Cam what with him having been stranded for a while.

Certainly. Where's Cam now?

Limbo, unless he's done reassuring his parents about the strandedness by now.

Okay. Go comfort your stranded boyfriend, we'll cover the tour from here. 

Thanks.

And off she goes.

And when Fëanáro tires of exploring, which takes a while, he offers to give the three of them a lift over to Stork. Loki said you'd be embarrassed to bring up the therapy question, he says, which you shouldn't be, but it sounds like you have far more urgent priorities anyway.

T'Mir handles most of the administrative stuff, actually, because she's native to the place, I do more research and it's not desperately time-sensitive... uh, there are also therapists who aren't alts of your boyfriend and also approximately raising alts of your dad, though, I don't know if I have any special advantage here and it sounds like you haven't gone looking for one before.

I'm leery of magic mind tampering because the Enemy did a lot of it. I wouldn't be considering it at all if we were just going to execute my evil alt.

That's understandable. There's also therapists who aren't subtle artists - or psionic, in Warp terms -

In your assessment, are they likely to get anywhere on something like this?

I haven't done nearly enough assessment to have a clear picture of the prognosis for 'this'.

Perhaps we could talk long enough for you to have that picture, and then you could do a referral.

Sure. When would be a good time for me to come back? Or you could visit Warp if you like.

I'll stop by Warp. When's convenient?

Four days? If they're the same length.

All right. Thanks.

And Stork, outside Kib's house.
