Okay, thanks. Could you rearrange things to put all the powers I have at least a question mark on together? And the same for the drawbacks I'm thinking of taking? Oh and can you also put a question mark on Lightfoot to remind me to think about it again?

I think I'm going to take that short break now, maybe get a snack.

Okay! ♡

Sapphire gets up and stretches again.

"Thanks for being patient. We should probably get you another chair or something shouldn't we? Maybe move to the table."

"My legs will probably appreciate that."

She smiles. "Alright." She grabs a little bookmark sticky note and closes The Notebook after marking her current page. Then she picks up the pen and The Notebook and heads down the hall to their common area.

"I think I will get a snack but I'm not sure what else to do to take a break. A part of me wants to take my mind off of this for a little while but I'm not sure how."

"I know what you mean it's a lot and our normal distractions don't feel like they fit the moment."

"Exactly." They reach the common area and she puts The Notebook on the table with the pen.

"Well we can start with a snack, apples and granola?

"Sounds good." She joins him in the kitchen to help.

Tom puts on some music and they let it fill the air indulging in the familiar rituals of preparing food and eating.

Eventually they finish. "Hmm, should that be the break?"

"I think that needs to be your choice. The Notebook has said several times that there isn't a time limit. And I don't think it said this explicitly but I have a feeling that there's a bit of narrative protection already here to ensure that you won't meet with a random accident that prevents you from finishing."

"That would fit, wouldn't it."

"I think you're right, and I think if you are right then I do want to take more of a break. Maybe Yoga?"

"I'm up for that."

They put on a yoga video and pull out their mats to follow along.

As sometimes happens, Yoga leads to other more energetic activities.

Lying in bed she turns to Tom. "Thanks."

"You're welcome. You weren't the only one who wanted that."

"I'm glad that whatever happens we'll be able to find our way back to each other. And I'm glad we're okay even if I'm considering risks you think I shouldn't take."

"We are, I'll trust you to make the right choice even if it isn't the one I would make."

"I appreciate that."

They cuddle for a little while longer just enjoying each other's presence before once more visiting The Notebook.

Hello again, I'm back for my third pass.

There's three things I want to do this time:

1: try to look at things more wholistically.

2: consider how drawbacks do or don't apply.

3: come to a firmer decision about some of the things I was hesitant about.

That makes sense! How can I help?

That's a good question. I think the most obvious way is helping make sure I understand powers correctly like you have been. Besides that, maybe I could write categories or attributes next to certain powers and you could do more rearranging so I can look at them all together.

Of course! ♡
