"Lore," Cadence said, her voice genuine. "I think you are an absolute godsend."
Lore was completely changing her way of thinking on this. Things now made a lot more sense than they had. Her complete crashes on the weekends being the biggest concern. Ezvin had helped with that. The social time with him had done more than reveal that she could have emotions that weren't freaking out. She had actually felt recharged. It was all about energy consumption and recycling.
Cadence also knew she didn't want to be a hermit. She liked being with people, and thought that was maybe part of what had been nice about going to the nest. There had been people there. Becoming a hermit was not something she wanted, but she knew she needed alone time too. That was just as important. Cadence also had to smile at the mention of chores.
"Yes - it makes sense. Chores have to go away. Definitely not a recharge. By delegate, I assume you mean that my PA does it, or at least makes sure it gets done?" cleaning had actually in many ways become a detriment to her health. Ezvin had called it something like a "Cinderella impression." He wasn't off the mark on that. It had been a stressful way to just fill time that she didn't know what to do with. That also brought something else to mind. "You seem to be a very professional woman, so please keep this here, but I have significant emotional and mental health issues. I'm assuming my PA should know about those too and how to handle it. It's also a part of the reason things are messy. Sometimes, it's just hard to keep my head above water if that makes sense." Cadence didn't go into details. She didn't think she needed to at this point.
"I think now it seems like there is a definite imbalance. Work is very high, creative is low, and social is abysmal. It's difficult to make a change directly to balance that out - at least during recording season. But then again, you're the expert. Maybe I'm missing something. I can't cut my recording time down. It just doesn't work that way. But I feel like there has to be something I can do better," Cadence continued to spin her rings and sighed. "There is another problem too. I don't know if I have the knowledge to train someone else in this." Lore would probably be a perfect PA for her, but Cadence wasn't one to poach and Lore seemed completely happy in her position. She wasn't going to ask or even joke about trying to take her away from it, but maybe she could help the person Cadence found.
