I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take.

Who: Nita and YOU. Preferably close CR, but anyone can stop by.
Where: Quiet Car, second floor, a room near the front of the carriage.
When: Middle half of Grasshopper; post-platform, pre-event.
What: A(n ex-) wizard retreats. Some may come to reprimand, some to console, some just to find out WTF happened.
Warnings: ... Discussion of what's basically psychic assault in this log, folks. Mind your headspace!


After the platform, Nita retreated into herself. That was the best way to describe it; she could not be 'booked' in one of these rooms the same way she could have been in the Medical Car, but she spent as much time as she could in just the one room, not speaking unless spoken to, not leaving except to go to the restroom or fetch another journal.

No matter when one arrived to check on her, she would be either resting - staring off into space more than actually sleeping - or writing.

Some of the words were crossed out, as if she had had a tough time finding the right ones, but the writing looked to be formal in nature. A report. And, most notably, it was in English, not the alien curves of the Speech.

If she had to live with her actions, Nita figured, the least she could do was explain them - and explain why they were wrong.

Mostly, though, what encompassed her mind was the emptiness of it all. She couldn't even be angry now.

Fitting.

Everyone deserved affection. Glorfindel enfolded Nita into his arms, rocking her gently. His light, which also worked on a spiritual level to warm the heart and ease the mind, reached to every inch of the room.

"You are very welcome," Glorfindel said softly. Not a lot of people wanted to hug the Balrog Slayer and Champion of the Valar; it's as if he were intimidating or something. So it made him very happy that his hug was accepted and appreciated.

He didn't ask her if she wanted to 'talk about it,' like others had. The past was now done. Without the ability to time travel, it was not something you can undo. What was more important was how the they were going to move forward--her, the peridexis, and the Train, and if he could help.

After the hugging, though.
