Date: 2024-10-20 11:11 pm (UTC)Jean is thinking of an earlier conversation, before they knew. When they expressed to Dahlia that a failure to find equilibrium with the community would be fatal to the Pine Devil. They frown at their own thought, gripped by a nameless guilt. Attempting to apologize now...might be inappropriate.
Still.
"I am prepared to listen."

"Comrade. The sending stones being infernal technology suggests, among other things, that they may be being listened to. They may also not survive Aster's destruction. Your intervention has, indirectly, slowed the installation of other forms of communication which would be more secure and unambiguously lasting."
Jean's not mad, they're just disappointed.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-20 11:26 pm (UTC)It's a half-hearted defense. The disappointment makes sense. CT's bitterness makes sense. They should hold it against Cerrit.

Date: 2024-10-20 11:38 pm (UTC)"Why bring this to me?"
no subject
Date: 2024-10-20 11:43 pm (UTC)He's actually got the wondering in the back of his head, if this is news to Jean at all. After all, Jean is part of the Ocularum, with Crichton and CT.

Date: 2024-10-20 11:58 pm (UTC)"Whether the locals like it or not, I see this place as one community. And until they figure out how to kill me, what I say about that goes."

Date: 2024-10-21 01:23 am (UTC)"Jean. I was wondering if you'd care to come by, when you're next free."
That's the best way to start this.

no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 01:59 am (UTC)Here is her address. She picked the second floor because of the view.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 02:08 am (UTC)They knock, and then adjust their dress. It's been a few months since Jean had even the modest breasts of the Siren, they're not used to it any more.

no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 02:27 am (UTC)"Well. Someone has to provide aerial support."
Wrap?
Date: 2024-10-21 02:31 am (UTC)"I certainly can't!" Jean sobers, slightly. "...I am still learning what it means to have principles that I choose. I appreciate your honesty, Comrade. I believe I will emulate it."
no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 02:31 am (UTC)"You look nice. Is the dress new?"
no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 02:33 am (UTC)Jean sets their gift down in the kitchen without drawing further attention to it, and looks around.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 02:58 am (UTC)Beyond all the efforts she's making to personalize this place, one thing might stand out more to them, though. On the walls, there is framed art, as there is in many of these places. But the contents have been exchanged - instead of paintings of places and people she does not know, they hold some sketches of things witnessed around the island.
Fragile things, one could say. The artstyle is unmistakable. Not all of them have been hung up, but it wouldn't be a miss to say that the others remain in the apartment.
The kitchen's also been repapered, and most of the dishes and the like were cleaned up, salvaged from elsewhere, and etc. No one needs matching sets, anyway. It's not the most unique place, but it's cared for, and that makes it different.
"Tea? I can try coffee as well, I've been working on bettering my version."
Jean makes it better, but she assumes that's out of practice.
