I am not satisfied with accepting that it happened. The loss of Prince Sidon's arm is no small incident. [ glances at her ] How is it that you would prefer I react?
Yes, why we were taken. [ Now he's starting to look angry. ] I do not appreciate my mind being tampered with. We were all truly led to believe we belonged there.
[ optimism? in his world? he's just going to deal with being armless for weeks.... ok. ]
... The names you called each other were unique. [ that's all she's got, but she does understand. ] It is one thing to have things and people taken from you, but it is another to have your own self taken away.
I do not find them unique. [ the names. they seem normal to him? ] But... you're right. I will have to take this to the senior crew and see what answers they can provide.
[ rubs his head ]
Hopefully it is more actionable than the "cosmoelectromagnetic" waves being mysterious.
It would be preferable if something can be done about it, but I heard that with the other group, one of them declined to go on the mission but still ended up on it anyway.
From what I gathered, yes. I do not have all the finer details, but that is what it sounded like, so people may be taken with or without their consent.
[ not unlike how they showed up on this ship. ]
Will you let me know if you learn anything from your discussion with the senior crew?

I did not think it could get worse like this. How are you doing?
no subject
I am alright. Disoriented at most.
no subject
[ that is a little more than disoriented. ]

[ ... ]
Is my concern unwanted?
no subject
... I suppose that I simply feel as though it pales in comparison to the events of last week. There is no need to burden an already taxed population.
no subject
[ that comes out abrupt and immediate. ]
Death hangs heavier, but it would be discourteous to disregard anyone who comes back injured.
[ she may want to keep away from people, but she doesn't want to be cruel. ]
no subject
[ he smiles, and turns his gaze upward. ]
For your honesty, I will tell you that... at the heart of it, I am simply too tired to worry over such injuries.
no subject
she comes over and seats herself next to him. she clasps her hands in her lap. ]
What has exhausted you so?
no subject
[ also, he's pretty sure his arm will come back once he turns into bahamut and that is what's important ]
My arm will heal, as injuries do. I am more concerned with understanding why it happened at all.
no subject
she doesn't know anything about bahamut. ]
It is difficult for an arm to be replaced. Do you mean why you were taken to where you lost it?
no subject
Yes, why we were taken. [ Now he's starting to look angry. ] I do not appreciate my mind being tampered with. We were all truly led to believe we belonged there.

[ it's not a great outlook. ]
no subject
They were accompanied by one of the senior crew, correct? Was it a planned mission?

[ not unlike how they showed up on this ship. ]

no subject
Of course, you have my word.
