It doesn't stop other people from trying.

[but she'll move to exit now, leaving the tea cup behind

she's got things to do!]

[nonbelligerent]

They're just worried for you, most likely.

[but following!]

[coastal]

... well they're not here, so it's not a problem.

[off they go headed out of the village]

[nonbelligerent]

I suppose not... Do you know how to defend yourself, Lili?

[coastal]

I'm learning here.

[there's a sigh]

Someone is helping me get a grasp on magic. Someone is teaching me how to use knives - .... Tsurumaru was instructing me on the basics of swordsmanship.

[but uh

here we are now]

[nonbelligerent]

That's good.

[not, uh. the tsuru dying part, but everything else.]

There are quite a few people here learning for the first time, so you're not alone in that regard.

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

If you're worried about me, don't be.

[nonbelligerent]

I am worried about a number of people here.

[coastal]

Then focus on the others. I'll be fine.

[yes, everything lili's done has suggested that]

[nonbelligerent]

Is someone with "fussing" and "fretting" on her scroll really telling someone else not to worry?

[coastal]

Did it really say that?

[nonbelligerent]

It said a lot of things I don't think you'd like.

[coastal]

[ . . . well.

she sighs.]

I at least expected that much. [there's a frown] At least I'm used to that.

[nonbelligerent]

At least those two qualities seem to be accurate.

[coastal]

I don't know what you mean.

[she's not FUSSING or FRETTING]

Anyway it doesn't matter. I can take care of myself.

[ALSO INCORRECT]

[nonbelligerent]

And you thought I could not?

[YOU FUSSED OVER HIM LIKE TWO DAYS AGO]

[coastal]

You've been in more dangerous situations than I have.

[nonbelligerent]

I'm also capable of getting myself out of them. Besides, things are different for sura.

And you've been in your share of dangerous situations as well, haven't you?
