Lente's Point Expedition - Day 3 (A Discussion)

[ad_aeternitatem]

[Lente looks oddly passive, her expression completely blank. Human emotions are exhausting to convey, and she has grown tired of trying after just one morning. These people are curious and blundering, perhaps to bit too eager to please, and liable to put themselves in danger in the future. Despite rumours of their experiences, they still seem to

[Of course he has, he is well used to coming prepared on missions whether on the surface of Mars or elsewhere.

Bringing it out of his pack, he held it out to her with a pen and a genial smile.]

Thank you, Miss Lente.

[ad_aeternitatem]

[she takes it and looks at it, curiously.]

This map is old.

[derpish]

I'm afraid it's the only one we have, do you have a more up to date one?

[ad_aeternitatem]

No... but I will fix it.

[derpish]

Thank you very much.

[He gives her another smile, moving closer to watch what her modifications with a keen interest.]

[It may be awhile, Cain. She bends over the map, studying it intently for now as she places the locations in her mind.]

How much danger do you think there's going to be in bringing these 'offerings'? Reports we've heard indicate that they've come to see us as increasingly dangerous to them, which, from as much as we can gather, has to do with what influence they think the castle has on us, and what our motivations might be.

But if they were in the same boat as we were once, why would they think we'd react any differently to being brought here than they did?

[derpish]

[He is watching Lente mark the map patiently, in no hurry for her to be done, turning his head slightly when Lois speaks.]

Even if there is a danger, it would be a good thing to try.

[She's marking out territories and regions with her fingernail for now, but she'll take ink to it later.

She shakes her head.]

In the many decades since my arrival, I have seen so many pass through these lands -- all must discover these lands and its truths for themselves before they could ever hope to leave Paradisa in peace.

[She rolls up the map and pockets it.]

Until then, you are a danger to them. Even I take great risks to myself, to host you here. It was not a decision made lightly.

[derpish]

What risks do we pose, to you or them?

[ad_aeternitatem]

You carry the castle and its influence with you like a disease. That is our concern.

[derpish]

And you do not any more? How?
