Day 3

[frost_jewel]

On your own enough. What do you think about all of this?

Day 3

[ribbonbon]

What...What do I think?

[She kind of stares at Mia, as if being asked her opinion on such important things is somewhat foreign to her. The gears in her head start to turn. What does she think about this...?]

Well...um...

Day 3

[frost_jewel]

[With an ear on the other action in the room, Mia waits patiently for her answer. Goodness, she looks so surprised.]

Day 3

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette looks about the room for a few seconds, as if still trying to form an opinion. She looks back to Mia before she replies.]

It's...It's kind of scary. Being involved in a war like this is...well...you know. But if we don't help the Malnosso with this, it would be even worse for everyone. S-So I guess it's important that everyone does what they can, but...

[She looks around once more. Medical staff trying to treat injuries. People who have gotten sick, some of which are only getting worse. Combatants who have only just been treated and are already rushing back into the fray.]

...There's really only so much we can do, isn't there?

Day 3

[frost_jewel]

It is difficult, if not impossible, to stop certain types of people from fighting dangerously. [More dangerously than usual fighting. The kind of fighting where you are already injured or are doing some stupid risk-taking and then you get hurt. More than once.] So, yes, I suppose there is 'only so much' we can do.

Imagine how it would be if we didn't.

Day 3

[ribbonbon]

[She can imagine that. Suddenly, Pilouette realizes just how important the work they're doing, that she's trying to do, is.]

Yeah...anything we can do, even if it's not a lot sometimes...It all means a lot. Even a little bit is the difference between someone getting better or getting worse, huh?

Day 3

[frost_jewel]

You are only allowed to think of that if it will cause you less worry, and not more. [She's joking. It's an important realization to have even though it adds a lot more weight to being any variant of healer.]

Why do you think you can't learn to use the magic native to this world?

Day 3

[ribbonbon]

...Well, where I come from, there's no such thing as magic or anything like that. Not really, anyway. Besides, you have to be really...

[Smart, confident, special...]

...strong to use magic and stuff, right? I don't think I've even been going to the school's magic classes for a while, anyway. Maybe it's better if I just focus on this kind of stuff instead. You know, regular first aid.

Day 3

[frost_jewel]

Where I come from, there is no such thing as a microwave. ...Maybe that's a bad example. I'm not very good at using it, still.

[That other part needs to be addressed on its own.]

You may focus on whatever works best for you. ...But you are strong.

Day 3

[ribbonbon]

Magic isn't like a machine, though. A machine really only works one way, right? Magic is more like...um...Hmm. Actually, I don't really know what magic is like.

[Pilouette lets out a small, uneasy chuckle. She still doesn't quite believe that she's strong...but it's nice to hear. She glances at her first aid kit. The lessons of a respected teacher, a momento of a friend...and many lessons yet to learned.]

Well...maybe. But I don't think I'm really strong enough yet. I still have a lot of work to do, I think.

Day 3

[frost_jewel]

When you start thinking you're strong enough, I'll start to worry. [Like they are making an agreement. Almost nobody ever thinks they're strong enough.]

Why don't you give yourself a short break, for now?

Day 3

[ribbonbon]

[Her expression becomes puzzled for a moment, like she doesn't quite understand. Isn't being strong enough to handle things what everyone wants? However, she nods and smiles.]

Yeah. A little break sounds pretty good right now. Also, um...thanks, Mia. For um, everything.

Day 3

[frost_jewel]

You're very welcome. Don't be afraid to ask for help from one of the others if you need it. Sometimes it's more reassuring for everyone if you work together.
