Comments

[discernments]

All right. Thank you.

[ She's going to think about this. ]

And this?

[ She taps her face where a mask would be, if she were wearing one. ]

1/2

[retellers]

[ they groan ]

Okay, fine. Don't go around telling people about this. I don't want a line forming to take this off.

[retellers]

[ she takes it off and dangles it from her fingers. ] Happy?

[discernments]

[ i'm crying hi francy

Jeanne beams. ]

I am really happy to able to meet you face-to-face! [ A beat. ] Do you prefer to keep it on?

[retellers]

[ I'm mobile so goodbye to embedding icons because lazy ]

Oh, definitely off. But I'm not going to unmask for just anyone. Some people don't deserve it.

[discernments]

[ Does that mean Tiger likes her? Jeanne continues to smile. ]

Should I be be touched?

[retellers]

No. You're just consistent.

[ don't worry about it. ]

[discernments]

It's because I came to see you each week, at least.

[retellers]

... yeah, I guess there's that. Some people haven't spoken to me at all yet,

[discernments]

They could be shy, or they simply don't know what to talk to you about.

[retellers]

Are you telling me that with everything that's going on, you wouldn't speak to your Leader even once? Just because you're shy? Really?

[discernments]

There could be other reasons. Or they could have never walked into the Planetarium.

[ Jeanne doesn't know other people's lives, but she tries to be understanding. ]

I'll try to see if I can ask them to visit you, if I find them.

[retellers]

[ she does not look convinced. ] Fine.

[discernments]

[ Hm... ]

What are your other worries?

[retellers]

About anything in particular?

[discernments]

Yes. I’ll listen to anything you’d like to say.

[ because she’s a saint (but please don’t call her one). ]

[retellers]

Most of my concerns are a long list of complaints. [ she is tired. ]

[discernments]

I'll listen to them.

[ Jeanne is, as always, sincere. ]

[retellers]

Geez, how do you not have a harem already?

[discernments]

S-Stop— I could never.

[ She's flustered for three seconds. ]

If you don't wish to tell me, all you had to do was say so.

[retellers]

No, it's just funny. But you really do seem like the type people would go wild over.

[discernments]

I'm not anyone like that. I'm a simple country girl at the core.

[ Just ignore the last two years of her life. ]

[retellers]

Hey, just because you aren't doesn't mean other people aren't attracted to that sort of thing. [ she shrugs. country girls make do....... ]

[discernments]

[ Jeanne, after a moment's thought, covers her face with her hands.

She doesn't want to say people can't be attracted to it, but at the same time... ]

It has nothing to do with me, but I do support the love of others.

[retellers]

[ uh huh. ] And why does it have nothing to do with you?
