She settles herself a bit more comfortably in the chair, steadies herself as best she can, and nods.
Yes, please, she thinks. To both.
She's making an effort to relax, but it's not easy, and every bit of damage is ringed with traps and defences which she's trying very, very hard to keep inactive.
What's more, if the Vesmier looks deep enough, there's a certain place in Suzie's mind, surrounded by layers of psychic scar tissue, that's blocked away. A day and a night of memories, nothing more, but the structure that conceals them is covered with psychic fingerprints that scream Time Lord to anyone who knows what to look for. The Vesmier might find that structure familiar, in a crazed and distorted way, should he happen to come across it.
