Illos, as the most experienced, I'll ask you to show yours first.
Kintal

◄
Of course.
Illos

◄
A ring, encased in a cube.
Kintal
►
◄
The ring signifies relief, but the cube signifies reservation.
Kintal
►
◄
I must admit it is accurate.
Illos
►
◄
You are relieved to be back here, but reserved to see me again, likely.
Kintal
►
◄
That is true.
Illos
►
◄
Through communion, we bare our feelings to one another, and through that truth, we form a closer bond.
Kintal
►
◄
It is important to recognize these feelings within yourself, and accept them.
Kintal
►
◄
For with that, we can move forward.
Kintal
►
◄
Let us move on to the rest of you. We'll just go in order around the circle.
Kintal
►
◄
Lum, was it? This was your first time, was it not?
Kintal
►
◄
That is correct.
Lum
►
◄
Let us see what you have, if you would.
Kintal
►
◄
Here it is.
Lum
►
◄
Ah. The four rings, also known as the blossoming flower.
Kintal
►
◄
A pattern that is commonly known. It represents excitement, but excitement that you are trying to hide, or hold back.
Kintal
►
◄
I am not very... outwardly emotional, often.
Lum
►
◄
Your excitement I am guessing is from learning a new technique to gaze inward at yourself.
Kintal
►
◄
Hesitation or wanting to hide emotion is a common trait, especially the first time doing communion. The four rings are the most common first communion.
Kintal
►
◄
Do not feel shame at it. Through practice comes acceptance, and willingness to express yourself through the technique.
Kintal
►
◄
If you continue to practice this technique, your hesitation or desire to hide the emotion will fade, and you can use it to learn things about yourself you did not know. Do not be discouraged.
Kintal
►
◄
Next! Arntta, yes?
Kintal
►
◄
You know, I really haven't done this in a long time.
Arntta
►
◄
That is fine. There is no judgement here, just learning.
Kintal
►
◄
Here.
Arntta
►
◄
Interlocking triangles. You are conflicted, and torn in two directions on something.
Kintal
►
◄
Perhaps, if I may make a guess, of how to feel about me.
Kintal
►
◄
...
Arntta
►
◄
I do not expect to instantly have any of your trust. Especially from one of the Fire tribe.
Kintal
►
◄
I would not be surprised if the proximity to the nexus is also making you uneasy.
Kintal
►
◄
It's been quite a long time since Fire tribe have made a journey here. Our tribes for years have been in unfortunate conflict.
Kintal
►
◄
It is natural that you have an inner conflict about being here, and about me.
Kintal
►
◄
I hope my actions will prove my intentions to you. But that will take time.
