Is there anyone that has any skill at fixing walls? I fear that one became damaged during the chaos. It does not feel right to leave it partially ruined.

[ Especially since it pretty much has a Shen Qingqiu hole in it due to him being punched into said wall. Sigh!

But hm, moving away from that for a second, he thinks he can finally talk about something while having it sound like "nothing." Idle wondering of a mind getting used to this place! ]

This is a different thread all together. Sometimes, fate says that there is nothing that can be done in order to save one person. And sometimes, you must be the one to bring harm to the person you cherish. But still, you would like to hope even if you were the one to hurt them that they'll grow strong and happy one day, right?

[ If this is something that everyone can read, then... then! ]

The stories that we create for ourselves need not be tragedies if we do not let them be. Even if there is that moment, it can still end well. [ Holy fuck, does he hope that it will! ]

Anyway, the wall is still a problem so I'm hoping for a happy end for that, too.

[ What a loyal subordinate?! Wait, weren't you kicked down by these people and now you're willing to help them out? Seriously, that's real loyal. ]

You don't hold a grudge against him?

And that's right.

[ oh, no. King Regis did not. That much, she knows. Her mission had been legit, and any betrayal came from way before his level. ]

No. If the King wanted me destroyed, all he had to do was stop lending me his power, the ability to fight that kept me and the rest of us alive on the front lines. Nobody would have known. Whoever did that to me? It was not the King, and certainly not his son. My loyalty belongs to them. If they want to waste my life, I've given them that right. They wouldn't really care about me personally enough, anyway. No, the strike came from somewhere far closer to me.

[ ??????????????????????????

Huh? So wait, the king actually grants soldiers the ability to fight? Like SRPG? Weird! And interesting how she's able to view it like that, too. So that's how it seems to her. Huh! I guess, that's fair?

I'm still a little shocked. I'd be a little mad that the king didn't protect me, at least. And saying they didn't care personally enough about you? Yikes. Very yikes. Yet still willing to look after the son even with that knowledge. I go back to my original comment -- what a loyal subordinate! ]

I see.

Still, you really are a very loyal subordinate. It's something others should feel envious of, honestly. No matter what, you are someone with integrity and I hope that they will come to appreciate your dedication here.

[ It's their job to protect the King. That's why they can borrow some of his powers. That said... why would a King care about someone he's met maybe three times in total ever? She has much fairer expectations than that. ]

Thanks. I'll try to be worth appreciating, anyway. 'Loyal' isn't necessarily always enough.

If it isn't, then your king and prince are not worth following.

Not what I meant. Sometimes, all the loyalty and valor are just not enough, and all is lost.

[ Like, oh, her mission to secure the Princess, betrayed. Or the life of King Regis, lost. ]

[ Oh? That point, hm. ]

Maybe. But there is always hope. There is always something to fight for -- you are fighting for your prince, ah? You only get so many chances, are you going to think of them as potential losses?

Of course not. I've been in enough battles to know what shit morale can do. Just not sure there are many people involved who can be envied, that's all.

[ least of all her. ]

[ At least she's not going into it with a poor attitude. Only she absolutely is and doesn't seem to realize it. I'm not really sure how I can help this since it's picking at something painful so I'll just support. ]

I think something got a little confused, but I will say that I believe in you and what you've chosen for yourself.

[ That.... gets a surprised pause. It's...

It's not something she hears from many people, whether meant or superficial. ]

Thanks. And for trying to help, as well. I guess my questions got a bit... heavy.

[ No worries. He's been on the Internet. ]

Such is the nature of questions. This teacher understands, so there's no need for thanks. I'm only doing what has been done for me already.

Are thanks then only owed when there's no understanding? I thought they were more like an expression of gratitude.

No need to argue about every little thing, ah? I'm saying as grateful as you are that there's no need to thank me, because you'll return what I give you to the world one day.

That is the only thanks this humble one needs.

[ That's. A tall order. Because she and hope are on bad terms in the best of circumstances... ]

I'll try.
