Speech Comm

Today she is professional, but there is a real air of annoyance. It won't take much to really make her mad, so watch it.

301--Family Unit Continues

OK, gang, here's the deal. Today we're talking about family again, both blood and created. I want to talk about both functional and dysfunctional.

[She purses her lips together and leans forward on her lectern]

How do we communicate our feelings? Not love, not nurture, not caring...How do we as people access and communicate the real feelings of family? Possesivness? Defense? A huge part of family is feelings of ownership and belonging. How do we communicate this, and what happens when it's interrupted?

Go. Talk to me.

Piper ponders the professor's question for a moment before attempting to answer. "One way we show our feelings toward family is by wanting to protect them. I know if anyone ever wronged one of my sisters, I would definitely confront that person. I think most people with younger siblings will do whatever is necessary to protect them."

But what if you're the one that other people are trying to protect? I mean, that takes a certain amount of trust to do that, to let other people try to protect you from... things.

"Yeah, I guess it does take a lot of trust. I guess, if I'm the one in need of protection, I'd trust my oldest sister to do that. I think that's what family is all about. Trust."

Veronica raises her eyebrow slightly but scoots her chair closer to Piper's.

"Hey, I need to talk to you about something. Privately. When can we meet?"

Piper peers at Veronica. "We can meet whenever. Sounds serious."

Veronica shrugs, not wanting to get Piper upset in class.

"How about a cup of coffee after classes?"

Piper nods. "Sounds good to me."

[ooc: Sure. :)]
