[Sera sounded a little awkward as she spoke, still not used to using the psychic connection she shared with the other Travelers. The fact that finding herself in an awkward situation is what prompted her to reach out for advice in the first place probably didn't help.]

I knew the Trumps could make people believe they're someone else, but I didn't think it would be like that. I mean, I didn't think they could make us feel differently about things than we normally do. Especially not about other people... Um, does anyone know what you're supposed to do if you thought you were good friends with someone, and then remembered you've never even talked with them before? I want to go talk to them, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I don't know, that seems a little...

[There's a pause as she tries - and fails - to think of the right word. Sera ends up giving up on that and moves on instead.]

I'm sorry, I don't think that will quite work. Uh, but thank you! I will go talk to them, I think, even if I don't say it like that.

Harsh?

You don't have to say it verbatim - but acknowledging that you weren't yourselves can't hurt. Not everyone's going to be willing to take a relationship they never chose as given.

[shantiprayer]

Yes... I feel like saying it like that would make things worse, but you do have a good point.

[Sera almost wants to ask the other if there was a bad experience there that made the words come out like that, but she stops herself.]

[amadine]

It depends on your end goal. And your temperament, and theirs.

[shantiprayer]

Goal? I don't want anything from them, I just want to know if they'll still be my friends.
