~~Meena~~ Now Meena was really confused. "It's all the same emotion," she said, puzzled. "Very true indeed, Aramina," Miriam responded. "However, emotions have levels. You've never... It's not important."

~~Meena~~ "You never what?" Meena persisted.

~~Meena~~ "You never what?" Meena persisted. ((You're not letting Miriam get away from this are you?)) "You've never... killed." Miriam said, her voice at a whisper.

((Are you familiar with Autism? You have Meena interested, and she can't even tell that Miriam wants her to back off now.))
~~Meena~~ "You have?" she asked, a bit taken aback.

~~Meena~~ "You have?" she asked, a bit taken aback. ((I have Aspergers and so should be. However, I've learned to recognize those signs and surprise she hasn't learned by now to back off.)) ~Miriam~ Miriam nodded once, then ducked her head waiting for the condemnation.

((For some odd reason, all my aspie characters are worse than myself. No idea why. But you could also attribute it to things like the fact she was an orphan, and was then adopted by two NTs. She has never had anyone experience in dealing with the 'normal' world to teach her these things, and her foster parents never knew what was wrong with her either, so they didn't know what they could do to help. She also didn't grow up with any other kids, and as an only child for just over half my life, I realise that finally gaining siblings increased my social skills tenfold.))
~~Meena~~ Meena could not conceive of any reason that someone would possibly kill another person. "Why?" she asked simply.

~Miriam~
"It wasn't... intentional." Miriam said. "Accidents happen, yet..."

~~Meena~~ An accident. That made more sense. "If it was an accident, then you weren't really responsible for what happened, and you shouldn't be ashamed of it."

I didn't intend for her to back onto the tree and for her lung to puncture, but... we were still fighting. I was six. Even though is wasn't directly my fault, it's still... my responsibility."

~~Meena~~ "The fact that you were six only makes it even less your fault," said Meena, puzzled. "Why do you claim responsibilty where none is due?"

~~Meena~~ "But you can't have known that. Even if you insist on holding yourself responsible," she declared, "I will not. What happened is not your fault."

~~Meena~~ "But you can't have known that. Even if you insist on holding yourself responsible," she declared, "I will not. What happened is not your fault." ~Miriam~ "Not so loud if you please, Aramina." Miriam looked around nervously to see if anyone heard. To her relief, it seemed that the conversation was still private.

~~Meena~~ "What mic?" she asked. "I don't see any mic." "Hmm?" Miriam looked back where she thought... "Oh. Never mind." she replied sheepishly. "So what are we waiting for?"

~~Meena~~ "Well, if I remember rightly, we're waiting for dinner," Meena told her. "Someone will be telling us what to do then, and we'll move into our dorm rooms. Now is for checking everyone came and for us to mingle. At least, that's what I was told"
