Make Oneself (Open!)

Who: Venom ([personal profile] poolhall_killer), Phoenix Wright ([personal profile] objectionattorney), and OPEN!
What: May catch-all! Venom's now working at the Sanctuary and adjusting to his new life in the light. Plus a big talk with the Ace Attorney.
When: Throughout May
Where: The Sanctuary and surrounding areas
Warning(s): None so far!

A. The Sanctuary

[Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Fraser and Dr. Watson, Venom's expanded his knowledge on anatomy, first aid, and some level of bedside manner. He furthered his training through field work, reading books, studying potions and salves to an extent, and finally learning his first healing spells. He'd come a long way from being an assassin and knowing only how to treat the most fleeting of wounds. It's almost like he's a proper healer now, hence his decision to change jobs.

Meaning it's time for him to step out of the shadows.

He went through hell and back trying to do the same for the Guild, but to do it for himself is weird. Though he had planned on telling 2cave that he was going to protect the town before the storm hit. Maybe he's taking the steps to do that in his new home. Or maybe he's just overthinking everything again as he's organizing books and herbs for the more experienced healers.

For those who know Venom, his hair's tied back, save for his bangs.]


Pardon me, but I'm rather new here. Would these dried petals go with the dried herbs or elsewhere?

B. Tea Break - somewhere outside

[Between organizing and restocking supplies, Venom catches a breather. He'll be outside by a large tree, having the tea he packed along with a light lunch of fruit and cheeses. And by light he means a healthy wedge of the Olympian equivalent to brie. Maybe if someone drops by he'll share it with them!]

C. Wildcard

[Dealer's choice here! Maybe spot him helping with cleaning, or possibly lending a hand in the kitchen. Anything to help him prove his worth at his new job.]

[Direct was certainly Miles' style. His brows furrowed and he leaned back a bit. It made sense as to why he had acted in that way.]

I can understand why such a thing would be painful, especially if you had felt that you were in a similar situation before. And that the initial impulse would be to shield yourself from the pain.

We want to shield ourselves from getting hurt again. But in doing such, we prevent ourselves from experiencing things that are new and growing from it.

[He was speaking from experience. It was hard to open up to stem the urge to run. But the braver thing is always to face it.]

However, the important thing to take away is that we are different people and that even if the situation feels similar, it isn't the same. We can't control our situation but we can control how we respond to it.

Either way, I would like to maintain a friendship with you, if you are willing.

Of course. I'm gladdened to hear that.

We have so few allies in this place. All of us refugees I mean. We lost everything, our homes our loved ones, everything. Discontinuing a friendship over something like this, in the objective sense seems trivial.

My time as a hostage taught me that if anything...

That all we have here is one another, other refugees. We have too many things stacked against us.

If I'm going to continue fighting I want to have people I can trust by my side.
