I figured out what it is that seems different, when she was talking with/to me, she kept continuing, like a friend you hadn't talked to for a long time...heck, I even did it too once, I even said out loud, "T^2, STFU! This was supposed to be quick!" and we both laughed about it...and there is a new/old "softening" to her voice with me, like when she talks to the kids, or the "old days"...I hope that all makes some sense, idk.
Just rolling with it...
