Wow, that's ... quite a pep talk. Thanks!

[swordofswans]

It was nothing, truly... What is most important is that everyone keep their spirits up, especially at times such as this. I only did what I thought would make it more simple.

[fireflowered]

Everybody here seems to be fairly strong ... this is me speaking from observation, though. I've really only been here for a few weeks.

[swordofswans]

Many people here are very strong, just as it seems. But with all this fear, words might help people believe in what we must do...

[fireflowered]

I never thought about it that way ...

I'm glad you did, though! I think words can be really powerful, especially in times like these.

[swordofswans]

Yes... Though the words would mean little, if they could not inspire strength that was already there. I look forward to seeing our victory.

[fireflowered]

As do I.

You were battling against it too, right?

[swordofswans]

Indeed... Though I had only a blade, and that was not enough...

[He frowns briefly, he still must do something about that, but he will not falter now, and smooths his expression accordingly.]

I will find a way to make it so, however...

[fireflowered]

It's good to have goals like that, though I wouldn't take things too hard. That thing seemed to be in a league of its own, really ...

[swordofswans]

...Then... we must be sure to match that league...

[He does not quite understand what she means by "taking things too hard." It is serious.]

I will not allow anything to turn me away from this.

[fireflowered]

[ but if you take things too hard, you'll wear yourself out and getting to that goal of yours might be a bit harder. :|;;;

nevertheless, she smiles again at this. she's really very impressed by his determination. ]

You're very determined. A desire to become stronger for the sake of protecting others ... quite the noble quality.

[swordofswans]

[Well, one might say he is quite literally determined to a fault, after all.

And he returns that smile effortlessly, even now.]

It is nothing more than what should be done... Isn't that right?

[He is still kind of missing the point about "not working too hard," so...]

[fireflowered]

I agree, yes.
