Somewhere around 2/28 to 3/1

I would like everyone to join me in wishing a very happy birthday to Liminal Space's best six-and-a-half year old, Takashi Shirogane!

Happy birthday, dude. If I could make things, I'd make you a cake.

[It feels like it's settling, and Thace isn't surprised at the faintness. Thae had mostly only felt distinct emotions from Allura when they were very close or intentionally pushing them to the front. The hum is almost distracting, because he's so very aware of it and what it means, but it's also pleasant at the same time, and Thae had been used to it. It'll just take time.]

I don't mind when the environment isn't threatening, and you're willing to be... heard? Felt? But in tense situations feedback loops are possible.

[And feedback loops could tear both of them down, negative emotions amplifying and--- Better to work out how to avoid that before it happens.]

Makes sense. Emotions are complex at the best of times. Hang on...

If one of us is in trouble and it's hard to speak aloud, it might be helpful to have more access than this. Widen the door a little. That way we can get an idea of how the other is reacting to certain stimuli.

[This is hard to talk about, to admit to, that sometimes it's bad enough that he winds up non-verbal, but better to be up front about it.]

I understand. It is a good idea to be able to dim, and to increase the connection. Perhaps we can practice and work out a system to support each other?

I think that would be a good idea. ...Thank you, Thace. It means a lot to me that you'd consider this.

It means a lot to me that you’re willing to help me too. We will become stronger together.
