genessia | 04: Uncertainty (Open Video & Action at The Dancing Donner)

Uhm... Hello.

[ Adela is on the feed then, in a warm and bright room – likely her room, considering that the warm light is more than likely candlelight. She seems serious though, frowning at the camera as she tries to figure out what to say. ]

I... I do not know how else to ask this, but... I wish to hone my skills with the sword and to improve. Is there a place for me to be able to do so? Or perhaps someone to spar with, so that I could? You do not need to use any kind of weaponry if you do not wish to, and I will use a wooden training sword myself. Please let me know, if you can.

Action, The Dancing Donner

[ She sighs once she turns off the communicator, and her clothes back on even after she's bathed she decides to go downstairs, though she doesn't try to talk to anyone or interact with anyone but one of the servers. The Dancing Donner is as active as ever tonight, but she just feels like... Well, maybe having something to try and soothe her nerves.

Having a warm cider in her hands, Adela just stares at her reflection in the drink, trying to think about what she's going to do from there. In fact, she gets so lost in thought at the time that she fails to notice anyone or anything around her in the bar, whether they take interest in her or not.

... At least until a newspaper gets tossed through the doors and lands in front of Adela. She's startled enough to nearly spill her drink at that (the bloody thing nearly hit her head!), and she blinks hard before sighing and paying the paper boy. Well, now she can keep up with the news at least. ]

I am somewhat skilled with the sword, with the intent to train in it further than I have needed to before, and...

...

I would rather keep anything else to myself unless it is needed to be shown.

Understandable, the element of surprise is always a good thing to have when it comes to what one can do.

I have skills no one knows about myself after all.

... 'tis not so much for the element of surprise so much as it is for making certain that I can remain safe as long as possible. Surely you can understand that, considering the circumstances.

[ Translation, it's magic. ]

I can understand it. That's all I can say really.

[He smiled slightly. He figured there was something magic wise, considering people who didn't have magic wouldn't be this worried.]

[ She nods to him with that, though at least he doesn't seem hostile. Well, not then and there anyway, who knew about later. ]

If what I can do can help protect the people and allow them to feel safe in their homes, then... I should do what I can, here. It would not feel right to do otherwise, and even if I do choose to live somewhere else I cannot work elsewhere.

Of course. So even though you considered just leaving at one point, you seem to be somewhat coming around to at least want to help.

... Even if it is not my home, those who do call it so deserve to feel safe there, do they not? That is how I see it.

Well since we are unaware of what this world was like before people like us started to come, we can't actually say for sure that they have ever been safe.

They deserve it, yes. But would feeling some be a new thing for them or not? Things happen all the time after all that I do wonder.

I cannot see how being able to feel safe would be a bad thing. Whether they actually do or not is not something I have power over, but what I can do is rid the people here of whatever may threaten them, however I can.

Not saying it's a bad thing. Just thinking from both sides of the positives and negatives this world has to offer.

[He leant back slightly.]

If you really want to make people feel safe, you need to think of both side of things. At least that is what I try and do. Think of how to deal with what's going on and how to deal with what could happen afterwards because something always will.

... I am not sure of what you are trying to say.

[ She frowned at him then, raising a brow because she honestly didn't understand what point Fai was trying to make. What was wrong with wishing to defend people from harm and allowing them to breathe easier? ]

Just saying there are two sides of things. Protecting is a good thing, not saying it isn't. But only thinking that once that is done everything will be peachy is not. At least not here.

Two years ago I would have thought once you beat it, it's done and we can move on. Here it's only a temporary relief.

... I am aware that what I intend to do will not end any time soon. It could be something I take on as a life-long duty. Even if one threat should be gone, another may come. It may be something I must do again and again, and I am ready to accept that.

Is that not enough?

It is, but before you just made it sound like one thing and that was it. Though for some it does take longer to accept it than others.

[ She nods, her expression becoming less severe as she does so. ]

Sorry to make it sound like that... I am glad that I could clear that up. In the meantime I should keep up with my work, and my training.

Well good luck with that. I should get going. Work never stops for me.

... Is that right? I wish you the best then, it sounds like it must be difficult.
