2024-05-07 13:16:53 +0000 UTCExactly xD But then again, both Yemisi and Iris are un-high and can presumably act as adults (Iris probably unwillingly), though Claire still knows Liz (and Hannelore) best

2024-05-06 10:50:17 +0000 UTCActually, this might wind up being a helpful experience for *Ayo* (if she takes Hanners' advice to heart and doesn't just freak out). Maybe she'll find it useful for grounding later
enchantedsleeper
2024-05-06 10:28:13 +0000 UTCShe doesn't have it yet (I think that Iris would consider that beneath her, though) (Literally and figuratively)
enchantedsleeper
2024-05-06 10:26:21 +0000 UTCI don't think this seems like such a drastic change, for post-travel Hannelore. Maybe just a more pronounced calm side of her
enchantedsleeper
2024-05-06 10:25:04 +0000 UTCI definitely thought that this seemed like a mindset she developed over the time she was away to help her cope better with the unexpected (and yak dung)

enchantedsleeper
2024-05-06 10:20:04 +0000 UTCI suspect Liz would find inspiration for an actual science she can do so she can break out of her imposter syndrome.
Len Pal
2024-05-06 07:21:49 +0000 UTCIt's always fun when someone busts in with what the reference was rather than let folks who know what it was be like "I see what you did there", but if you're gonna be -that guy-, please get it right. It's the Bene Gesserit litany against fear, not Mentat.
