[As the images suddenly filter into his mind through the connection, his immediate instinct is to withdraw, to sever the link and close out the thoughts and emotions.

He doesn't. Instead, he simply withstands them, lending her what strength he can as he shares the pain with her. He may not be able to teach her to process this sort of pain, but perhaps, like this, he can help her deal with it nonetheless.

And if not, he doubted she would object to his presence attempting to soothe her mind.]

[It fades as it always does- easier this time than before and for that she has Ben to thank. It doesn't sting, it doesn't ache, there's just the mild migraine that came with rationalizing what she'd seen. It wasn't real.

So long as she can remember that, she'll live.]

...thank you Ben.

[Obi-Wan does not withdraw the mental or physical contact when the pain fades. When he finally speaks, it's quietly, into her hair.]

"... I would be willing to resume our meditative training whenever it is convenient for you. And... I would feel much more comfortable if you would take this label. As a measure of protection."

[It's something they haven't done in some time- not as themselves. It's an embrace that is familiar to Levarre, that had been somewhat familiar before Levarre ever existed. Adele's not certain she should take as much comfort in this as she does. She's also certain that at the moment- she doesn't care.]

I think...I. [She closes her eyes and sighs.] When I can stand to be in the house again I would like to move into forty six. It will be easier to do so then and...I'll keep the label.

"I would be reassured by that."

[... Very reassured. Perhaps surprisingly so.]

"... We must simply take care that our snarky bickering does not drive our housemates mad."

[fleurdesel]

Honestly, Ben.

[The phrasing and intonation should be familiar to Obi-Wan.]

"This is, you will find, doing surprisingly little to minimize my concerns."

[He would find this maddening if he weren't one of the participants.]

[fleurdesel]

And yet you are smirking all the same.

[averybadfeeling]

"Of course. I am not the one at risk of becoming irritated."

[fleurdesel]

I suppose we shall both simply have to take steps to bicker less.

[averybadfeeling]

"I never thought I would hear you request such a thing."

[fleurdesel]

That is, you should find, doing terribly little to assist in my resolution.

[averybadfeeling]

"Perhaps you are simply a troublemaker."

[fleurdesel]

...me?

[averybadfeeling]

"Of course, what a foolish notion."

[fleurdesel]

I have no idea what it is you are referring to Ben.
