WE ALL SEEK JUSTICE AND NOBODY IS OKAY

[tenrules]

[Another murder, another investigation, another trial, another execution. Unlike last time, it wasn't self-defense, and although they caught him, she's pretty sure nobody is happy. It was sentencing someone to death, after all.

Knowing that, Dlanor writes something on the back of profiles she took from the bulletin board, passing them under the doors. When in a hurry, use what you have, and those profiles will be back sooner or later, anyway]

Please come to the train station. Let's spend some time in each other's company, for our sake

[If you decide to come, you'll find whoever wrote that note has been working hard to make things somewhat nice. There's a few...whatever we all have been using as cups all this time...filled with milk -- evaporated milk with some water, it seems. Tastes almost like normal milk. Dlanor also brought a few twigs and a small piece of log from the sawmull, and seems to be currently trying to make a fire. Some warmth should be nice, right?

Come on, everyone, let's sit around this bunch of wood and strengthten our bonds]

I think it helps. Otherwise we'd all be going back to our cabins in the cold and dark...and I don't think any of us want that right now.

[At least, she knows she doesn't.]

[tenrules]

I'd have liked to have tea, and have a more beautiful place than a train station, but this is all there is right NOW. [...] At times like these it's hard to know what to say, encouraging people never was one of my STRENGTHS.

[pegathesis]

Sometimes, acts of kindness can be more encouraging than actual words. I don't doubt that everyone understands what you're trying to do and appreciates you for it.

[tenrules]

[Dlanor really would like to believe that, but it's a bit hard to take it at face value. She nods, though]

How would you continue doing this? Tell me, what do you do to show others you want to support them?

[pegathesis]

How would I? Well...

[Twilight looks back into the fire that Dlanor's been stoking.]

Whenever my friends have a problem, or need someone to talk to, I always try to be there for them even if there's not anything I can actually do to help. Just listening can do wonders. And you're a really good listener.

[tenrules]

I SEE... [Dlanor tilts her head, thinking] Yes, I think I remember seeing someone do that with their SUBORDINATES. She'd call them to her office and offer to listen to THEM. That seems like the right thing to DO...

[...]

I shall get myself an office to call people TO.

[At least Dlanor got Twilight's point]

[pegathesis]

[She's doing her best...]

An office isn't...required, exactly, but whatever makes you comfortable is what you should do.

[Baby steps!]

Also, friends are more like...your equals than your subordinates, so that's a bit different too.
