There should be a way to tell each other what you're worried about without lashing out. Trying to bottle it up will just make people snap at each other and get angrier when they do finally speak up.

And no one likes to be disagreed with or to have people mad at them, but—I think that's part of being a leader.

[she suddenly looks very sad, the more ash is talking.]

...Orym is very kind.

[maybe she just got angry with him without giving him the chance to talk. he still tried to.]

[killies]

[ oh no ]

I mean... It probably varies from group to group though.

[undread]

Maybe.

[but she thinks ash was probably right.]

...I don't want them to hate me, but I don't think they understand.

[killies]

But how you feel won't change. And you can only deal with it properly if you talk it through.

Otherwise you're all just going to be upset by yourselves.

Is that how it is with your friends? If you talk it out, is it better?

[killies]

... It's not like it's perfect. But it is better.

I see. That's good to hear.

We got in a fight, before I left. Orym and I did. He was so angry at me, and others wanted me to apologize, but. I didn't want to sit around and be scolded when he was the one who was wrong.

Disagreements will still happen... Even if you talk it out right away, people disagree and feel strongly about things.

Maybe it would be better if the two of you talked it out without the others? But it's hard to talk to someone who's too angry. [ like she's not quite dumb enough to just assume every problem can be worked through. sometimes they probably just. can't? ]

[nodding...]

I don't like being around people who are angry with me. But...maybe.

[killies]

I don't blame you. It's annoying having people mad at you all the time whether you're making the right call or not.

[undread]

Yes. But to me, it's still less annoying than being alone.

[killies]

[ can't relate. ]

If you think so.
