Meeting the genasi

Terberisa is.... interesting. I get the impression her sense of self is in flux right now. Getting to talk with her, to meet her, and sit there and understand where she came from and what she wants, I felt some sense of kinship. She wants the people with power to be active, and actually do things, which, is commendable, but she isn't as interested if those things are benevolent or malevolent. She wants to get to be a better "person" person for, whatever reasons, I believe they mostly concern her roommate, who she values deeply. She also explained to me how Hilde has had a hand in both nurturing her growth, and impeding it, which, makes sense for Hilde. She shared some of her history and I the same, she seemed shocked at the concepts of war, battle, death, and killing. Sadly, those are the kind of things a person born to worse circumstances faces, along with many other horrors, Bebo can attest to that too.
 
Her first impressions were....subpar, I think she was used to the respect that being a noble of the Stone Abbey afforded her, and thus, didn't know how to treat Ned, who didn't have the equivalent nobility to meet those flawed standards. However, as I spoke with her, she showed a much better ability to value opinions, and to care, as I am certainly not anything close to nobility. Either, her ability to control her emotions has gotten much better, or, she is genuinely turning a new leaf. Only time will tell, I hope one day she too can achieve the social skills she says she desires, and I see no reason to chastise Hilde for her interactions with Terberisa, she knows her mistakes, I have confidence in that. The gift ideas are a good place to start for Terberisa, and her unprompted apology to Ned was also a step in the right direction, I guess we will see what happens from here on out, but I will try to guide her, as best I can.
