[Appearing on the journals is a written message as follows. A voice option is provided for a computerized reading of the text.]

Attention Luceti Residents.

Target will be Region One, a former Malnosso stronghold, presently in cultist hands. Subjects are advised to prepare for combat in forested areas. Further information will be made available at TERRACE. Questions and answers will not be provided at this time.

.. Ah! D.. don't worry, I wouldn't yell at you either way!

[ Her reaction might help it a little, with how she genuinely seems concerned that Kouki might think she'd be mad at him, even though it's obviously a joke. ]

A belt. Of course. [Apparently the creeping fear had taken common sense with it.]

I'm right handed. And uh- hip, I guess.

[That sounds like negativity.]

Aw come on, give the adults some credit. Pretty sure they can keep some kids together. And even if they get out I'll be sure to keep 'em safe.

[He makes his voice sound light, uplifting even. Reassurance was always needed in situations like this.]

I know, Peggy. We both do.

[There's a flicker of a smile on his own lips before it's gone again.]

I'll see you soon.

And for that, she receives an unflattering tombstone.

There are perfectly capable candidates available. They may even not reduce this place to a pile of ashes.

...From the guide? Someone showed me that when I first got here. It's pretty late to say this now, but thanks for that.

No kidding.

Yeah, I know. [Alright, he can't keep dwelling on this. It isn't gonna do anyone any good.]

I'm gonna start packin'. You need a hand with anything? Should I see if Peggy's willing to swing by and help you paint your new suit on?

Ossu, that's what I wanna hear! Her name's Pilouette, and she's this small western girl. She's got blonde hair, and she can't really fight at all. But ... That's why you gotta help me out.

Then focus on funny things, not embarrassing stuff. [And he reaches out to clap her on the shoulder. Once that's done, he nods and curls his tail a little-] You gonna be okay, Cloche?

Yeah? You sure about that?

[He's not trying to question her or infantilize her, not really. He just has a duty to look after her. And... he's not signed up here. So it's somewhere he can't really follow to watch after her, and it looks like it's somewhere she wouldn't really. Fit. But who knows, she can prove him wrong]

Like who, exactly? Emil? [He's a great friend but loses track of himself a bit too easily.]

Certainly. He is good with the customers, too. [...Though the bookkeeping...] Perhaps assign someone else to supervise with him.

No, Leon does. [And she smiles a little now, just a bit. To try to be reassuring. It isn't working that much] He's a skilled alchemist, so I have him make things like this.

What about you? You need to stay safe, too.

[He smiles a little--it seems a little sad, maybe.]

I'm a hunter, and a fighter; it's more or less what I do for a living, so my place is up front with the other fighters. But I'll be careful.

Well, I'll be fighting, too, but that doesn't mean I won't be careful!

[ Something occurs to her. ] You never told me what it was you hunt.

I know you'll be careful; it's more a question of the type of violence involved. It...won't be pretty.

....vampires.

Well... she set up a stand last time. It had snacks and other refreshments for the people coming back from the draft.

[It was a really thoughtful gesture on Grune's part, thinking about it now. He really can't say for sure what Grune is planning, but one thing he does know? She's got a good heart. Rudy wouldn't put it past her to do something this time around.]

The last one was pretty rough on all of us, so there's a lot who really appreciated the thought. I'm not sure if she's doing anything like this after this one, but y'know? You should go see her anyway.

[Subconciously, her hand goes up to cover the one he put on her shoulder. It takes her a moment, but she finally thinks about what he asked her enough to be able to respond. She's hesitant, and it shows in her voice.]

I... think so. I'm not sure. I don't know what to expect out there. I've fought before-- ...I've fought, but I've never had to do so by myself. I've always had someone with me to protect me. I can fight back with my rapier but I'm not trained with it, [There's a slight smile at that--] it's mainly to just appear threatening. I don't know why they want me out there.

They can fly?

[ Oh geez. ]

...Yeah, okay. Let’s go.

[Because sometimes roasted squirrel comes up in conversations that happen between a half-dozen starving adults. It's so not even weird.]

It's not good to gossip. That's how a lot of lies get spread.

That's good. It's... it's all I can ask of you, Korra.
