I sense that you're doing this just to make fun of me.


[And she is not amused.]

Don't let it get to you. It's safer that way. [Sabryn, for instance, maintains a voice Vulcans would be proud of and a nearly expressionless face, eyeing Troi neutrally. On the one hand, she's tired of her mu shoving her at people. On the other, that was far from the worst thing her mun could do.]

[Oh, she's not letting it get to her much. You don't survive as an empath or as a counselor without fairly tough skin. But the young girl's wording troubles her.]

Safer?

[temerated]

Less painful in the long run. Like most things, it's better if you care as little as possible, ma'am.

[sensestheobvious]

I wouldn't say that. I think it's very important to care about things.

[temerated]

I care about a few things. But only very few. It's best that way.

[sensestheobvious]

Why?

[temerated]

If you don't care about something, it can't hurt you when it's taken away.

[sensestheobvious]

You've had a lot of things taken away from you. [username relevant]

[temerated]

I'll survive.

[sensestheobvious]

Of course you will. But that doesn't mean it's not hard.

[temerated]

Everything is hard, from the second I wake up to when I go to bed. It has been for seven years. You get used to it.
