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.
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.
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.

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

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

What do you two know of human physiology?

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

Not so much that I'd volunteer to be a medic, but I've spent enough time around humans to know as much as the average person.

[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.

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