[shri]

[ Her options are at this point, are brood up how much she wants to kill Damon and Elena, or get on with work. She didn't do so well at brooding, though her mind is still so new, so sharp and edged and not kept inside of herself. But in this case, a fire trying to find new kindling to keep itself going. Her own impatience and frustration are evident. But when isn't she anyway - ]

( I was informed when I arrived that we need to be ... ascertaining particular pieces of information.

Have we begun such? If not, should we not begin planning to reconnoitre? )

[ She has already plans, but even so, if it's already been done - well, she's happy to be told if it means she doesn't have to go chasing her own tail. ]

( And does anyone know how to use these - light books - that has the time to show me? It keeps flashing at me and I cannot make it stop. I think it wants something. )

[ The data pad, she means the data pad, she's grouchy at it for not! giving her! the things! she wants! Being a grandma in space is a trial. ]

( A leader.

I can help you adjust in that regard, as well. )

[It's an admission to say that it hasn't always been easy having someone question her decisions so boldly, but she has adapted.

That doesn't mean she is any less certain in herself, but she's adapted that, as well.]

[shri]

[ To that she laughs with a shared understanding. ]

( That is no matter, I am well adjusted. My titles haven't meant very much for a long time. )

[adamance]

( That's fortunate. The people here don't like to listen to reason, even if it comes from a place of experience. )

[Hence the offer for adaptation.]

[shri]

( I ever prefer to act and let other people make up their mind about whether I am worth listening to by the measure of such actions. )

[ Read: she'd rather give an apology than ask for permission.

Except that she doesn't give apologies either, but still. ]

[adamance]

( I suppose I'll have to see if you're more successful than I have been. )

[Lexa doesn't ask for permission, and she's reluctant to apologize. The problem is that it's often difficult for her to discern what will frustrate people here.]
