[b][h2]Reenneesuash (Ren to humans) daughter of veanamdarr[/h2][/b] Ren did notice the priestess enter, her head turning to see the older woman's approach, scarred and much more like the one of her kin people expected. However Ren had valued her help in the hydro labs, it was too much work to get things running from scratch for one alone in reasonable time, knew at least the basics of lab work and knew enough that Ren rarely had to explain anything twice. She just got on with it and had found comfort in the others' companionship, it helped fill the silence, when alone Ren had taken to distracting herself with music or other things played through the consoles. “Hello Vitiafa, greetings. I already checked the seedlings, I got up early and . Yeah.” Ren was not entirely getting a 100% healthy amount of sleep but she did not sleep well now and it was easier to work on the plants, tend to them, Channel things away from the darkness. She took a more respectful tone to the elder of her kin than the Doctor though and her thoughts dropped off a cliff glad for the distraction and cut to talk of a gym. “Il take a look..” Her words said with a small yawn and thanked them, eating some of her meal with a small smile and enjoying the spicy kick. “Somthing different would be … nice.” She chose her word, a distraction to her thoughts, to the chaos in her brain. To give Ren some kind of chance to calm the stormy waters. Even before all this, Ren had a chaotic mind, this just made everything worse and it was hard to calm her thoughts, fears, and the whole fact she felt a little… being a little off the norm in height to her kin had not helped, feeling a little bit like she did not quite fit. Ren was damaged, but who could endure what they had and come out intact? Knowing what likely effected her and experiencing it was two very different things, maybe a work out would knock her out before bed and make her too tried to dredge up the fires and flee. All Ren knew was that Chili, mac and cheese was a good combination and made her feel a little better. [@Bingelly]
