017: At the Library

I listened to some beautiful music under the stars last night. It was so nice to be able to be out in the open to listen.

Luke said I should try to talk to some people named... I think Logan and George? People that he said lived out in the woods like me. So if you see this and want to I'd love to talk to you.

I think if it stays nice today I might go up on the roof and read when I'm done - and before I go to work at Mr. Stark's - so if anyone's looking for me, that's where I'll be. For a while anyway.

Yeah... When I was really tiny. Before I was all crazy.

Mohinder Suresh. I like that. It's a nice sounding name. And I'm really happy to meet you too.

I am sorry to hear that. But you don't seem at all crazy to me.

Thank you for the compliment, although I'm afraid that I can't beat the whimsy of Rain.

People here don't seem to mind so much.

And it's... it's not whimsy. It's not.

It's the name the ancestors gave me. It's...

Look... Rain is all sorts of things to different people. Sometimes rain is warm and gentle and beautiful. It makes things grow and people love to be out in it. Sometimes rain is hard and cold and makes everyone miserable. Some people like rain and know that it has its purpose and some people don't care either way and some people just absolutely hate it no matter how it is. And sometimes even the people who really, really love rain don't understand it and sometimes they just want it to go away and not come back.

Which is exactly how people are about me. I'm like rain.

I am Rain.

I never even noticed. And I usually do notice when people are acting a little crazy.

Ancestors?

And regardless, I don't know you well, but I feel that you are warm and gentle and beautiful as much as your apparent namesake.

Well, it's mostly when I start talking and they realize I can't always tell the difference between what's real and what isn't. Or when I answer questions before they actually ask them. Or when I know what's going to happne before it does.

I don't think you can see anything like that just be looking at me.

The Ancestors. The Grandmothers and Grandfathers who have passed on and who watch over us and help us.

Now you're going to make me cry. I... I really want to be those things.

[personal profile] orderonto 2008-08-28 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
I would like to say that nobody can always tell that difference, but I feel that you mean this on a much steeper level. You answer questions before asked?

I'm sorry. I was being sentimental, but if it makes you feel better, do cry.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-28 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I sort of... I can hear what people are thinking. Oh, I try really hard to remember not to listen, really I do! But sometimes, if I'm distracted I just sort of... do.

It's okay. It's just really really nice of you.

You're serious, telepathy? Subconsciously? Has anyone tried to do anything to help you, if this makes you uncomfortable?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-28 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and well, subconsciously, yes, and also I can do it more if I really try.

But it's rude and wrong and bad to listen to people so I try really hard to remember to not listen, but sometimes it just happens.

It's mostly hard and hurts my head if there are a lot of people. I'm not so happy in crowds.

Mr. Stark met somebody once, kind of like me, and they wrote some stuff down that they could do. He thinks that might help me learn more.

[personal profile] orderonto 2008-08-28 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You're quite special.

No, absolutely not, it's not rude or wrong or bad. It's no worse than what a person who couldn't do what you can might do by accidentally overhearing. You can't help it. It is absolutely no fault of your own. We all hear one another's private business at times.

I hope that you can learn. If you ever need anything, anything at all but most especially regarding this, please, give me a call.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-08-28 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Mr. Stark always says stuff like that, too, but it's hard for me to see it.

Where I came from I was always told it was. That good girls didn't do that sort of thing and I needed to stop. Or they'd just look at me like I was crazy and whisper about me and call me names.

I hope I can, too. Do you... do you think you could help me? Do you know about people like me?

*giggles* Or I can just stand in the middle of the Library and yell, "Mohinder Suresh!"
