Private Finished Returning Patient: Oluremi

Valli had some concerns about her power. Really, in terms of 'concerning powers', being able to be commanded so severely by literally anyone with an elemental power was... bad.

The concern definitely showed on Valli's face. He frowned slightly, sitting up a bit more as he processed what he'd learned. That was... well, that was a thing. But it also likely wasn't something easily helped by a power bracelet. Maybe it wasn't even something that should be fixed. Maybe that was just him being insensitive.

"This certainly puts things in a different light. I understand why you'd be hesitant to disclose it, but at the same time I'm certainly a bit... concerned, I suppose? Any sort of power that adjusts the lines of consent are..."

Valli stopped himself before he said concerning again.

"I assume you don't often tell people about it?"

Valli could read the change of subject. She obviously didn't want to talk about it, and truthfully? Valli didn't either. That kind of subtle magical effect that compromised consent was... well, bad. Too close for him to be comfortable. Too close for him to be impartial. In theory, he should be an expert on the subject, but he never was. He didn't want to be. If Remi wanted to talk to someone about it (which she very clearly didn't), it wouldn't be Valli.

So he let them change the subject.

"A good job is one that stays professional. Leaving a job doesn't have to mean anything. It doesn't mean you hate your boss, or that you dislike your coworkers. It just means that you're leaving the job. Quitting can be difficult because it feels like a personal relationship, but it's an important life skill to be able to separate personal and professional."

She seemed... relieved, maybe? Remi was far easier to read in human form than she was in Oricenta form, but Valli was in no hurry to tell her that. She would likely get self concious, which was something he was actively choosing to avoid. Remi had enough going on without having to worry she was wearing her emotions too plainly for her cultural values to allow.

Valli's eyes flicked down to the list briefly, before giving a nod.

"We can talk about Arjean next. It's a bit more relevant than the last remaining point, so I think it'll flow a bit better. The point was that you wanted to be able to check in on Arjean, even if you left."

Which was... strangely worded, now that Valli thought of it.

"Any concerns in particular?"

Unfortunately for Remi, Valli was already suspicious of her family. The way she acted, the way she skirted around certain topics... it was all very suspicious. A lot of it was very similar to how abuse victims acted, and while Valli wasn't ready to assign any labels, he was fairly sure he was at least dealing with something similar.

"Something to consider is how you want to move out. Are you going to sit them down and explain that you're moving out? That has the potential to let you maintain the family ties, but it also has the potential to let them convince you to stay." Valli was going out of abusive-relationships-one-oh-one. Getting convinced it wasn't that bad and you were just exaggerating your concerns was as common as dirt.

"It's important to weigh the pros and cons of both options. Your sibling is still young, and it can be hard to manage that sort of a relationship when you have a parent standing in between the two of you."
