Stacia heaves a big, dramatic sigh - what, she's got to direct your Rage and talk about feelings, Elle? - before she rolls off of Elle's arm and shifts back to Homid, arranging herself into a position that allows for a little bit of cover. She's not quite as comfortable with semi-public nudity as Elle seems to be.

"I mean, right off the bat, I Frenzied for the first time since my First Change," she says. "It was a combo-platter of things, but not being able to feel Ace certainly didn't help. After that, I pretty much did what I always do: had a little pity party and then tried to focus on the shit I could do something about."

Stacia is a big fan of feeling her feelings when they rise up. She may have a reputation of being mouthy and short-tempered as a result, but at least they don't build up inside her into explosive pressure.
