That's just par for the course Oni. I would rather feel something, than feel nothing at all.
And yes, I don't get to get away often, but when I do it's only a couple hours upstate. I don't feel like one of the regular students, and when I go up I stay in a hotel in town. But it helps, and it helps in ways that I can't always explain.
I've balked at some things though. I really do not want to see if I can start picking up items - clothing, jewelry, things like that - and see if I can pick up images of their owners. I've seen those movies, and I have enough trouble keeping out of trouble with the people I know.
[a quick grin and a laugh] Yea, that's from Tolkien alright. Not sure if it will stick, but he seemed like such a stick in the mud when I met him that...
[Oni made a disagreeable noise in the back of her throat.]
So, it's more like a seminar? Or a... Retreat? But for mutants? [A confused look passed over her face, and then the she-wolf shrugged it off.] As long as it's helpin'. That's all that matters.
I can see how that'd be a little overwhelmin'. I mean, how many objects do you come in t'contact with everyday? [Would it be handy? Sure. But it smelled a little too much like what that General had in mind for her, once upon a time, for Oni's liking.] Just take it at your own pace, d'accord?
[Her grin is pure mischievousness; A ragabash would be proud.] Oh, it's gonna stick. If it's th'last thing I do...
Exactly. And even touching specific things that have strong, emotional connections - those are the connections that I just don't have any desire to know about.
Oh man, you aren't going to tell him where it came from, are you? I already dealt with him being all sulky once. If I have to deal with those big, dark eyes giving me the 'sad' look, I don't know what I'll do.
