[Nino's had a few shocks this trial to be sure--the realization that she's inevitably going to die is one of them, thanks to Laura, but those five votes were also shocking, even if she understands it wasn't on purpose--

It helps her to look after other people.

Serph was quiet during the trial (granted, he's always quiet, but--) and she's worried about him--so she goes searching.]

Serph... um, Serph...!

["Well" is definitely an exaggeration, but she's glad that he's not suffering intensely or anything.

That's a small blessing.

So she nods quietly, expression thoughtful.]

I'm glad...

[A shake of her head, and:]

You're always really calm... it's kind of amazing.

[varunastra]

I've always needed to be, I suppose.

[ He...doesn't think too much on how he turned out the way he did, especially given the ridiculously complicated circumstances of his "birth" (so to speak); what's more important is the fact that he turned out as he did.

But with a tribe relying on him to keep his head and make the best choice for them, he's had plenty of practice at not losing his shit. ]

[learnings]

Always...? Because of how your world was, back home?

[She's curious about him, really; she can't help it. He's so calm but also he's a cannibal.

Those are two things that don't usually go together (she thinks)?]

[varunastra]

[ Well, to be fair, she hasn't seen him when he's getting hangry. ]

I was the leader of my tribe. Nothing I did would affect only me.

[ Granted, he still had Gale to be the Spock, but nonetheless, he couldn't go into things half-cocked. ]
