Welcome to Gaia! ::

And Delilah was perfectly willing to give Theodore as much attention as he wanted. Admittedly, it was partially because it was keeping her hands distracted.

In some ways, petting him was its own kind of fidget.

Settling after everything. Right, everything. Everything was a lot of things. Everything was losing who she was. Everything was having to settle into a new life because of it. Everything was having to try and figure where she stood. Everything was trying to make up a past. Everything was trying to understand the conception of the present. Everything was trying to make a future.

Everything was a lot, and it was more than she thought she could process.

"Projects?" asked Nembus, choosing to ignore the fact that she definitely still didn't feel like she had her feet on any solid ground.

(She was in a routine, but she was in a routine out of comfort and out of what seemed to be correct--)

"What are you thinking?"

Ow.

At least he was purring, indeed. Delilah tried to shift to compensate, redoubling some scritches under his chin.

Non-violent energy draining tactics sounded nice. Well. Not nice. Draining energy wasn't really nice. But she could do without all the violence. All the fighting. Nembus had been lucky to avoid fighting Order terribly much as a lieutenant--well, basic senshi. She wasn't a lieutenant. There was that fundamental difference between her and the rest of her team that--

"I mean, being a part-time student, the perks of being a secretary are kinda nice," remarked Delilah, quietly, with a small laugh. It gave her time to do her schoolwork, for one, even if it was all done at her desk. "But maybe there's some things I can help with here and there. I think I need an internship to graduate. Might be nice to do something impactful instead of just running coffees around..."

At least, that was how she read internships tended to work.

Right now sounded bad. Later sounded better. Maybe she could stop thinking about everything that was running through her head if--

Doubtful.

Delilah lifted her eyes to Jade when she touched her hand, pursed her lips slightly when it was suggested that she mention anything else she was thinking about pursuing--no, no, couldn't do that really--but beyond that, moved beyond it, offering a bit of a smile at the thought of Theodore getting to join them. Maybe they could go to one of those pet-friendly cafes she saw.

(Not a cat cafe though, Theodore might get confused with the residents--)

"Okay," replied Delilah, offering a gentle smile. "Let's go."
