Week 1, Saturday, Post-Trial; Nino

[sylfied]

[ Is she looking for anyone during her beach stroll? No, not really. Fie's fine with being alone.

But she pauses when she spots a familiar figure coming her way, and finally decides to speak up-- because with Nino, ignoring her probably won't work. ]

That wasn't a good idea, earlier.

[learnings]

Oh...

[HEY THEY JUST GOT OUT OF THAT.]

Are you fighting in it?

[sylfied]

Kinda. We're not affiliated with either side, so we're more of a neutral party just trying to help out the civilians.

[learnings]

Oh... I see...

[She tilts her head thoughtfully.

It's not that different from what the Black Fang--used to be.]

That must be difficult. It's such an important job, though.

[sylfied]

Everyone just wants to know whether their friends and family are safe. It's not something warring factions care about as much.

[ no matter what they claim. ]

[learnings]

My family used to do something like that... they would fight to protect civilians and innocent people from those who abused their positions, in war or otherwise!

[She's really proud of them, that's for sure.]

So I'm sure...that you and your friends are helping a lot of people!

[sylfied]

... There's not much I can do from here.

[ but Nino's family sure sounds like family #2. ]

[learnings]

... Not yet, but... your friends will wait for you, right? And when you get home, you can go back to it!

[sylfied]

... Mm.

I do want to get back to them.

[learnings]

Then... you'll definitely make it back to them. I'm sure of it.

You want to that badly, so... it has to happen!

[sylfied]

I'm not sure that's how it works.

... But I'll try, anyway.

[learnings]

Let's do it together, Fie.

Let's both make it home, okay?

To our families.

[Well. Fie's family, anyway. Nino's is dead.]
