"That's worse. You understand how that's worse right?"

"If you knew about illusion of transparency and double illusion of transparency or just remembered that 'if you look past the obvious you'll see the even more obvious' is literally a joke I like memeing on this might have gone more smoothly. 

"Mon cherri, I think I understood, but you are getting a little bit um what is the term. Word salad."

"Ok so, I'll try to wrap up the last main point then we can go play Overwatch or something."

"Even when not working across a cultural barrier or having a heated exchange it is easy to be wrong about what is obvious. It is likely your papa didn't know what parts you most objected too and/or was worried there were more things he missed. In particular it is possible that he doesn't realize what its like to have family you aren't raised with or didn't realize you underweight how much of him not being there in childhood wasn't his decision.

So it is really important to verify the obvious, though there are tradeoff, sometimes you waste time and cause drama by going over things everyone really does consider obvious enough that you sound stupid for belaboring the point. Or you get frustrated that other people don't get the obvious even after you've explained it, or its just emotionally sensitive.

Like why magic is secret, Mr.Tan being the devil, or why you still need an eyepatch respectively."

"Crisse, I do worry about your obsession with. Wait what do you mean why I still need an eyepatch?"

"Why won't it heal?"

"I believe if you look past the obvious answer, you'll see one that's even more obvious,"

"I don't know why it didn't immediately heal, but I don't know because there are too many different things that can cause that. Honestly, you probably got that injury after you already procked rez and it wasn't fatal.

The only unusual bit is that it didn't heal later.

There are at least two things blocking that, maybe more but the blend together at the edges."

"And those are?"

"You're a type 2a resurrection mechanism, it strongly weights your self image relative to your genome. 

Your eye is both somesorta visible symbol of your unhealed trauma, and something you expect to see in the mirror. 

Also, I think you are just a bit chuuni or at least an attention whore."

"Chuuni, really miss ace detective?"

"Locking things in even more strongly you had the nice teacher for Mythos Mechanics. I'll admit he's a master, even better than his similarly named obverse.

But even though I'm sure he warning you in theory about how Crafting is only mostly a one way street he was to nice to beat it into you even though he's the go to example for one of the most obvious failure modes.

So you are in a classic to talented for your own good situation. Ok well actually, the trade off is plausibly worth it there is a reason I thought you knew but."

"Are you ok?"

"So-so, but I'm almost done so lets just motor through it.

Anyway, what you've done in Sherbrooke is already amazing, and you're clearly just getting started.

It's ridiculously hard for anyone supernatural to interfere even with mortal proxies.

You've indirectly ensured their peace and prosperity at least enough for you to clearly fit in.

And you've made L' orginal du coin du Sherbrooke such a part of the background they won't notice anything off when people a hundred years from now go through family archive see their favorite local musician playing at their great-grandparents wedding.

Good ol' Lilith got to love her folksy serenades, weird quirks, and eccentric fashion sense?

She's really rocking the hip length hair.

And he mother fucking eyepatch.

Yeah, unless you burn everything down and start over your losing that about as soon as mister nice teacher looses weight.

Hohoho merry christmass moron." 

"Ok, yeah I'm crashing. I actually do have some ideas on your eye, but I need to stop talking now. Lets get you some new clothes, and maybe stop by the fortress and or pancake parlor."

"This is not over, but I need a break too."
