Lack of forethought? Though, a lot of people I've met here seem... cushy, if that makes any sense. Not used to protecting themselves and not having need to protect themselves. I'm not quite sure how that works, honestly.

[ she repeats it mindlessly, suddenly thinking of aveline. that's something she would say, berating hawke for not thinking something through enough and causing something dangerous to happen. hawke would take it, as she always does, but... the thing is, she never lets civilians get hurt. ever. ]
Do you think it your responsibility to protect them then?
Not your duty here but duty nonetheless? How noble.
[ she's kind of amused.
but they're standing on the corner here having this conversation and she still smells like garbage so she's thinking maybe they should part, despite the fact she is kind of enjoying this. ah well. ]
Has your hearing come back in full yet? I mean, you can hear me but that doesn't say very much.

My apologies if my stench is truly that offensive. I haven't been able to return home yet. [ she shrugs. ] You didn't suffer a fish though, did you?

We were dropped into a maze like lab rats and deprived of our senses in various ways.
no subject
Your senses? They have the power to do that?
[ that's... that's blood magic type shit it sure is ]

[Sadly.]
I lost my hearing for the duration of the time I was there, as well as for some time after. It is not the first time it has happened, either.
no subject
In my world, we would call power like that a symptom of blood magic. That can't possibly be the case here, is it?
[ she's legitimately asking because wow that sounds awful ]

[He just doesn't know, and it's incredibly irritating.]
Regardless, it is a thing they are capable of. Be aware of that.
no subject
Wonder how far that capability stretches. Nevertheless, did you know you would run into trouble when you signed up for one of these "tours"?
no subject
[He agrees with that disgusted face, even if his face is calm and unbothered in response.]
There has never been a single situation involving CERES here that has not come back to harm us in some form.
no subject
[ she shrugs. ]
Ah, well. I also believed their intentions were not well-meaning. That's why I brought my sword and a good thing too.
no subject
[A shrug, vague.]
Bringing your weaponry everywhere here should be common. I do not know why some people still do not.
[It's stupid tbh.]

They're civilians.
[Sousei has a word for it, mostly because even when he comes from, bakers don't use swords.
Generally.]
They are protected by others, and thus do not need to learn how to protect themselves.

[They're not all Japanese citizens...!!!!
... ... ... that said.]
Nonetheless, if they are in danger, I will protect them as best I can. It is the duty I agreed to.

[At the very least, he can tell when a conversation is over and done with, and she does stink.]
Go take a shower. We're finished here.
[they're both...alive? That's good. Good enough, anyway.]

see you later, sousei. ]
