I've been a part of two of nine different traditions, and each of those - nine - has their own particular subgroups and internal disagreements as to the best methodology.

( mila's tone is dry; she finds a lot of the in-fighting extremely wearying, particularly as wrangling it has become actually her job. this perhaps accounts for some of her disinterest in putting herself out there on the tranquility, where there's yet more diversity and differing opinions and frankly she doesn't give a shit about the opinions of most of the people who are actually contextually relevant to her. wading into whatever this ship has to offer sounds like the opposite of anything remotely entertaining or worthwhile.

but that's the nice thing about being mila gallo. bringing this up with him will mean, inevitably, sooner or later, going public; she will welcome, warily, the opportunities to discuss and develop that it brings. she will also have absolutely no difficulty dismissing, firmly, anything she finds pointless or irrelevant.

which is going to happen, sooner or later. she's seen the network, ever. )

That headache is perfectly normal. But no, I wouldn't mind.
