[ the lawn ornament outside of Girls' 8 isn't the cabin's only new feature. someone has also strung a hammock high up in a couple of the trees outside, and if you look at the building from the right angles below, you can see it hanging up there, peeking out from beneath the changing leaves. doesn't it look like a peaceful spot for a guy to get some

The wind won't be a disturbance, up that high?

[mind_over_metal]

I... do appreciate that you would even consider it.

[godwinner]

I'm not a teacher, Charles.

[mind_over_metal]

You say, and yet they learn from you.

[godwinner]

Fine. That being the case, I won't hesitate to share my views with them.

[mind_over_metal]

*his mouth briefly pulls into an unhappy smile as he nods*

Sharing of one's views is... inevitable. But for this, I'd like to concentrate, for now, on what we do agree on. These children need to be able to protect themselves. That's all that this particular venture is concerned with: helping them to develop their skills for doing so.

[godwinner]

Is that what overcame your own reservations?

[mind_over_metal]

You could say so. We have so many differences between us two. It seems incredibly foolish to ignore instances in which, I hazard to say, we do... want the same thing.

[godwinner]

I'm not sure I understand what you want.

[mind_over_metal]

I want to help these children develop their powers and other skills that they could use to help save their own lives and the lives of their teammates. I want to give them the support that some of them clearly haven't been getting. I want to do... something.

[godwinner]

The problem with you and wanting to do something is that it usually means attempting to fix what can't be fixed.

[mind_over_metal]

You say "can't" much too easily sometimes, my friend.

[godwinner]

I say it as much as it needs to be said.

[mind_over_metal]

You say it as much as you believe it needs to be said.

...but I digress.
