Precisely that. Depending on the request, a contract may also be drawn up.

In any case, it seems that if we are to progress further with this situation beyond our own surmising, we must do what we can to parlay with Lune and Sol. That is my feeling, at least.

[A nod as he listens to it all.]

If we're all going to be here together, it makes sense to learn about each other. Sol and Lune included.

Yes, if anything, the hostility and fear will impede us from progressing in anything, here.

What is it that they keep saying? "Take care of each other"?

They don't have to treat them as best friends, but they're a source of information.

That is what they say. We're all here together, so we should become each other's support system.

Still, as I said—there must be some to lead by example.

In the end, our trust is bound to be misplaced in some individuals—but I'm not wholly certain that the fault would ever lie with us. After all, if the corruption seizes on to the darkness within someone's heart suddenly and without warning, then it isn't a mistake of our inability to judge someone.

It seems that we must simply look out for each other, regardless of the consequences that action might hold. That is what makes the most sense to me.

[The thing is, Val completely agrees with what Milla is saying. But he also knows most of the people here are human, and humans panic.]

It's much easier to say that than to do it. Still, I'll look after the people who rely on me.

...Hmhm. [It looks like she's chuckling.]

Do you both have people other than your partners relying on you? It seems like I picked excellent late-night companions.

I believe there are a few people.

[There's a pause.]

I've taught Akane some swordfighting.
tothemaxwell: (bad news)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-20 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You are teaching Akane swordfighting as well, Valvatorez? It's heartening to hear she is receiving instruction not just from myself. Thank you very much.

[She chuckles good-naturedly at Shess' digital trailing off.]

That is certainly true. A certain smoothing of moving parts could help us greatly in the trials we have yet to face—as could further physical and mental honing.

What do you two know of human physiology?

Excellent. If she has more than one instructor then she'll lean different techniques. It'll serve her well.

I've been studying it this past week. Before that I knew where to bite them to yield the most blood. [val. no.]

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-21 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
That is my understanding as well.

And, although I am no doctor, I have spent some time around one, as well as occupied a human body for a prolonged length of time. I believe that with some basic first aid expertise, we can go far in assisting with any wounded.

[She hums out loud.]

Of course, this would all be greatly assisted by some basic first aid supplies. I suppose stockpiling things of that order should be our next task.

I've spent time around a medical professional as well. These days most of her healing comes in the form of celestial magic.

[He almost sounds wistful, but moving right along.]

Perhaps the next gateway will have more supplies available. At the moment we have to work with what we have around us.
tothemaxwell: (she's a bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-23 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Certainly.

And I am confident that all three of us will be able to do so.
