I think that's understandable, I had seven years to get used to doing things alone. There are some things I can do without, though. Like the opulence reminding me too much of people who tried showing off their wealth in every method they had.

(never mind the debauchery, or texas being someone that gets attention herself given her proximity to the face cards. part of why she entered the lounge is thanks to her friends who are royalty ranks, lying about them giving her access did wonders.

or not so much a lie, they likely would have had her as a plus one to their visitations at any time had she needed it.)

Or how suffocating the spotlight can feel again, I can agree with that. I'm not ungrateful, but it feels like it's too much on occasion. (given her own low rank friends (the ones in the basement that is or adjacent) texas has seen it herself.) ....and I guess me getting stared at by staff a lot also doesn't help.

(her ears and tail definitely do not help.)
