[Yes, but it's a beautiful name. Look, Jemma's middle name is Anne, okay? Not a bad name, and she shares it with some neat people, but it's also not very interesting.]

That's true. I appreciate the care it suggests, but it's complicated even still.

[when Melinda has two words, Jemma's got ten. That's just the way.

She can't help but sigh, though. She really wasn't looking for reassurance, or at least any more than she's always looking for reassurance (that damn praise kink and anxiety cocktail), but she can't object too much either. It does make her feel better to know she can help others, even though she never feels like she's done enough.]

That's what I try to remind myself of. I still feel like I create more problems than I solve, though. It's a foolish thing to worry about.

We should really explore better worlds, the two of us. Where it's not all life and death. [That was the initial point, wasn't it?]
