Weight of the World [Nexus, Ali, Kara]

[onemorebounty]

*The salle to which Samus brought Kara once before hasn't changed since the last time, except in the repair of the broken rack and practice-weapons. Samus lounges on one of the benches, stretching, an oilcan-sized canister made of ceramics and dense metals sitting next to her. Ali occupies another nearby bench, drawing.*

Kara floats over to Samus, noting the repairs. "I can pay for that if you like." She lands and does a few stretches. "Hey Ali. What you drawing?"

[vicioussweetie]

Ali glances up when Kara arrives, smiling welcomingly. At her question, she turns the pad around to show a trio of goblin faces. "I was just doodling," she demures, although whether it's to mask her lack of talent or the subject matter is open for debate.

"Samus, would you like to explain while I... prepare?"

*Samus nods to Ali, then turns her attention to Kara, rising and picking up the cylinder.*

Last time, we started to explore some of your psychological vulnerabilities. Today, though, we're going to discuss some of your physical weaknesses, and they are going to hurt. As ever, before we begin, you have the option of doing the sane thing and leaving before letting two of your friends cause you deliberate harm.

*She pauses for a moment, watching Kara's reaction.*

"Harm will heal." she says. "I know neither of you would hurt me beyond my ability to recover." She states firmly. She does know she can trust them. She feels it.

"Better to suffer a little at the hands of those that care than to be destroyed by someone hellbent on my suffering and demise."

She rises a couple feet into the air and gives one last stretch.

((May have time for one or two more but will be retiring to bed shortly. Was up WAY too late last night))
