Now, Let's Talk About That

She felt Quill and Barghest staring at her; both of them scolding her in their own, silent way, because she was being so ornery for no good reason. A little huff left her, shoulders rolling forward as she kept her gaze on Talyssa; if she looked over at the others, she might start glaring at them. Talyssa continued on, talking about empathy and its role in communication. Wait, didn’t she mention this in her other lesson? Shaking the thought from her head, Nimue resumes listening; Talyssa going on about practicing empathy and using it to understand the perspective of others. Hmpf. Why would she care about how others felt? They certainly didn’t seem to care about how she felt.

Still, Talyssa seemed quite passionate in her discussion, wanting to teach her impromptu group about the importance of communication. She even ended with a challenge- be better communicators, to enhance existing relationships and open the door for new ones. Nodding to Talyssa, she confirms she’s heard the woman’s lesson; but that didn’t mean she was going to put it into practice so willingly.
