I didn't know what to do.

I wanted....I wanted to stop everyone. To help everyone. But instead I just stood there.

...why were they attacking? That can't be something that happens often. There must have been hundreds...and they got past the guards at the elevators.

[audio] DADDY WILL BE HERE SOON MED'AN

[akingmuststand]

[Spoken with a small, thoughtful frown.]

Choosing 'sides' in any war is a pointless - if understandable - exercise. It is better to fight for the good of the people, for peace. Anything else will only see fighting - needless fighting - drag on without end.

YAY DADDY uncle schnitzel with noodles will suffice too

[shamagaladin]

That's what I think, too! But I - I don't know. I just....I froze up.

he tries, little guy, he tries

[akingmuststand]

[His voice is sympathetic, full of understanding.]

Who could begrudge you such an action? The circumstances are difficult even for the most seasoned - inaction may be seen as a lack of merit for the most part, but in this? It is a willingness to do what is right, not to force oneself into an ill-fitting yoke...

Do not punish yourself over what happened. Put your conviction behind what you believe, regardless of what others think that should be.

...is he faking all of this :(

[shamagaladin]

[ ;~; ]

But if we don't do anything...then what will happen? What if the fighting doesn't end, like you said?

Not a bit :D

[akingmuststand]

If you have a true desire to see it end, then you will ensure that the end comes to pass.

awww :D

[shamagaladin]

...

[He wants to. He wants that to be true.]

I just need direction.

Med'an don't say things like that to someone like Schneizel...

[akingmuststand]

Do you think you are unable to find that direction yourself?

awwww shit

[breakin_ur_lore]

I don't know. I always had Meryl with me before. Or my uncle.

[pause. He almost wants to say, "I'm just a kid" - because it's true and he sure feels like a kid right now - but that sounds whiny, or like he doesn't want to fix things, to help.]

I'm not used to being on my own. Much.

[akingmuststand]

I see.

[He speaks like he understands - like he hears that unsaid "I'm just a kid", somehow, recognises it.]

It can be difficult to adjust to working on one's own, but adapting to such is imperative. Not only for the circumstances themselves, but for the strength it will give you.

An important part of that, however, is bearing in mind that you are not alone.

[It's alright little guy.

Schneizel's here.]

I dont think either of his dads are gonna like this

[breakin_ur_lore]

I....

[He wants to be strong.]

...but what does that mean, anyway? A lot of my friends are on one side or the other. That's part of why I can't choose between them.

There are other people who believe in working together, but we're fewer than the others. I know strength in numbers isn't everything - but it is something.
