[Video]
[Jihl, an exquisite specimen, was seated on the top of a cushioned chair in her apartment. She crossed one leg over the other, keeping her video on while she mused on her opinion of the current events. Precisely, none of the factions listed were worth joining.
Now that she'd been betrayed by the highest form government above her, Jihl was hard set on using her skills to do something like that again. Of course, someone would have to show her benefits.]
Rosch, dear. You aren't getting involved with the underlings of the city, are you? I find myself completely enamoured at the lack of structure of either place. All of those who are involved appear to be completely irrational.
You don't agitated the bull, you gently coax.

[Video/Action]
I'm reconsidering the notion of involvement since I hadn't realized at the time there were two separate divisions vying for power.
[He's scrubbing vigorously at the annoying spot on the counter that he can't seem to get rid of. Perhaps it's all in his head.]
It's a mistake I intend to correct and quickly.

Congratulations, you have managed to agitate me in mere seconds. Your advice is truly inspiring.
Please, go on.
Re: [Video/Action]
They have an idealistic fortitude. None of which will do either any good as both are terrible antagonistic of one another.
[Then she noticed how hard he was rubbing.]
Is something wrong with the counter, Yaag?
Re: [Video]
[Jihl adjusted her glasses, resting her hand on her cheek and sighed a little.]
I'm not here to agitate you, but educate you on how to properly function.
[Jihl smiles lightly.]
[Video/Action]
No, it's nothing.
[Everything rubs him the wrong way without him realizing it. They are living together just as it was back in the Academy but this is different. In fact, it seems almost worse. In his 34 years of life, he has never been so frustrated. Well, there was another but he doesn't want to discuss it.
He steps around the breakfast bar and into the living room where Jihl sits and drops onto the couch across from her with his head back and a heavy sigh.]
We're no closer than we were when arrived. I need to do some research yet I have no idea where to begin. First, there was the mention of gods, though I saw no evidence of a religious cult anywhere that I can tell and the matters of two academies has me pondering the ideal that possibly we are caught in the middle of yet another war.
Both seem to have this facade that they are looking to create a better society though I wonder for whom and what purpose? Do we just sit back and watch the world burn or do we make the attempt to put out the fire?
[He leans up and then forward with his hands clasped between his knees.]
Colonel, perhaps it is time we assessed the situation and come to our own conclusions.
Re: [Video/Action]
If we do join a side, it must be the side most likely to win. I would prefer to side with none of them, I have been burned by enough Gods, Fal'Cie or any beings of that nature.
[Jihl was still burned by what happened to her.]
[Video/Action]
He shakes his head with a groan.]
I'm willing to choose to wait it out and discover the angle first. I have barely scratched anything to make any informed decision. For now, I will remain a pilot. At least there I know what my duties are instead of following blindly to a cause that may not exist.
[He scoffs then. He remembers that conversation clearly and the anger still burns.]
Should there be a god, it will gain no support from me.
[Why, Rosch, is that a bit of atheism?]
[Video]
Ho ho, you don't say! Well this is certainly wonderful news for us underlings!
By all means, educate me, I welcome it. I would love for you to show me how it is properly done, Miss.
Re: [Video]
[Jihl adjusts her glasses.]
Re: [Video/Action]
Let us see who does not have enough personnel and tools for whatever side. We shall side with the winning side, given that it is advantageous for us.
[Video]
Alas, she isn't winning this one.]
... Very well.
Re: [Video]
My apologies, it wasn't my intention to get you too upset. I am a high-ranking military, and those below that station could not understand my stance.
[Video]
No need to apologize; I misunderstood. I'll bring this to his attention.
[Wily doesn't seem the type to do so, but she hopes he doesn't get googly-eyed.]
[Video/Action]
You're right. It's too soon to tell anyway to just make a decision that could cost us both our lives as it has back home. I don't want another repeat.
[He opens them again and leans forward.]
Nabaat, Jihl, must we be so formal?
Re: [Video]
If he needs some form of identification, please inform him that my name is Jihl Nabaat.
