"The East is nasty," Jerica agreed with a nod.

"And flouncy." She wrinkled her nose.

Jerica chuckled, smirking. "Very."

"I'm not sure how they can see over those big neck handkerchiefs to fight any wars. I guess that's why it's taking them so long."

"It's because they send their peasants to fight for them," Jerica said disdainfully. "They're all terrible."

"Every monarch and noble sends peasants to fight for them," she scoffed. "Look at the war we were just in and the war we're in now. How many men and women do you think are marching toward each other to die right now?"

"Loads," Jerica agreed with a shake of her head. "It's stupid."

Jerica raised her chin slightly. "It's why I know what I'm talking about."

(I get health insurance on Monday so I am trying to research docs 'cause I wanna get my tubes tied and Google is being such an asshole lol they keep showing me tubal ligation reversal and talking about stats about how likely you are to be able to get pregnant afterwards and its like my dude get your conservatism out of my fucking uterus I know what I want show me a doc who will do it for me)

The soldier gave her a scornful look and turned away, not saying anything else.

Jerica narrowed her eyes at her.

(That's like
Really really strange

She was silent, arms crossed stoicly in front of her.

(Oh Rickard is gonna get along great with Jerica)

(Heh. I'm p sure I've got endometriosis. I can't get a goddamn obgyn to take me seriously yet. But the average time for an endo diagnosis is about 7 years and I started having symptoms 6 years ago so I feel like I am close to a breakthrough xP)(legit I have a crazy high pain tolerance. adhd plus trauma has led me to being pretty hard to phase lol like when I was 15 I broke my foot and was scared to tell my dad so I just didn't mention it and just walked on it until it healed. My best friend is a doctor and she felt the lump in my foot when I was telling her this story and was like "dude I can feel where this healed badly can you move your big toe? You're super lucky that you can" so like definitely was broken somewhat badly. And I just walked on it and didn't limp to the point that my parents never noticed. My period has made me literally pass out from the pain. It's not okay even a little bit and the docs won't take me seriously. I rage)(it's been behaving more or less the past year and a half/two years because I got the Nexplanon implant but then in July I hung around a pregnant friend and all hell broke loose in my uterus, and now I have a pregnant coworker who shares a cubicle wall with me and hell hath, once again, broken loose)

"Mm." Jerica picked at the bit of honey comb she had left, nursing it.

(Oh god rip those two)

( ;-; tank u <3) (here's hoping they actually take me seriously now that I'm older. I'm getting demoralized but gonna keep trying. Especially given we're about to head into winter which is the ideal time for a biologist to get surgery lol)

Jerica sank into silence. She wasn't going to be the one to back down, no matter how uncomfortable this got.
