[He's quiet for a second at that. It's not really that he's angry with anyone, but losing one student and realizing just how powerless he was in the face of potentially losing a second is not a pleasant pill to swallow.
He folds his hands together.]
It's bound to be a risk given the way we're meant to handle things.
[Even just today, Yves' absolution gave way directly to Neverah's condemnation. He's grateful for Yves' continued survival, but he knows Neverah's affliction and soon likely death will do a lot of harm, all the same.]
It is... People are quite good at checking in with one another, even then, though. It's a heartening thing to see.
Where I was before this was really the first time I've been around very kind people, but it was only a small handful I dealt with. So this was a large jump.
This is pretty sad to hear though... Everyone stop coming from a long life of unkindness challenge. He's quiet for a second or two, considering.]
...I'm glad that you were able to experience a bit of kindness before arriving here, but I can imagine that it must be quite an adjustment. Overwhelming, yes? Especially since so many here tend to fuss...
[Said with the full acknowledgement that he is a huge fusser himself.]
[AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM WHO ARE YE OLDES... NOT THE DINOSAUR.]
I do wish that we had a kinder adjustment period. And trial period as well, in all honesty... It would take eight weeks alone just to adjust to the technology level, let alone everything else. [Another little pause.] Do you dislike it...? Or are you able to enjoy it even though it's troublesome to adjust to?
I consider myself very lucky to be able to meet you all. Whether or not we become close or just friends, it's been a blessing to know more people. But there are so many negatives...
[IT SURE IS. HE'S TIRED EVERY DAY BUT ESPECIALLY FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.]
I'm doing as well as can be expected. [Despite the mild dissociation there toward the tail end of trial, he is still emotionally level.] There are days that are difficult, but that can be said for any one of us.
I appreciate that you're checking. [Said with a note of fondness.] You're also very good at being a source of comfort, even if you aren't used to so many of us fussing in such a large group.
[There's a little beat, and then he just laughs, light and amused.]
I see... How about we do an exchange, then? I don't know all that much about you either, beyond the fact that you're a very skilled disciple of the sword.
