I suppose that's a better term for it, yes.

[ pinches the bridge of her nose. ]

To what end?

We don't know for certain yet. Smith thinks it's for some kind of ritual, I believe.

[ there is only the slightest change in her tone. a touch more chilly. ]

I see. From your descriptions, it does seem as though we are to be used.

It's certainly a possibility. At the very least... The more time that goes on, the more we find out, even if not all of it has been particularly helpful. Speaking of which, there's a bulletin board posted on the grounds with a list of information people have discovered.

[ takes a slow breath in. ]

I see. Do requests get posted there as well?

[ i'm from an rpg... ]

I believe I've seen one.

[does not specify that the request was for friends with benefits that's a discovery she can make on her own]

Is there something in particular you're hoping for?

[ DOES THAT PHRASE EXIST IN MEDIEVAL FANTASY LAND... OH NO ]

Not particularly, but that's how the bulletin board at the academy operated. I suppose it's familiar, more than anything.

I see. You're a student, then?

I am, but likely not for much longer. I had returned home to tend to my responsibilities, and it's unlikely that I'll have time to give to my studies.

[ to. put it mildly. ]

Ah... I hope it wasn't too difficult for you. Whatever the responsibilities are, we'll make sure that you're able to return quickly.

That's quite kind of you to say, but what of you?

[tilts her head]

In what regard?

You said that you'd make sure that I'm able to return quickly. I hope you'll be trying the same for yourself.

Ah - you don't need to worry about that, truly. I dislike this place as much as everyone else.

I've honestly yet to hear a single positive thing about it.

I doubt that will change any time soon.

[ glances around, then exhales. ]

A school setting is, at the very least, familiar.

[ at least........... it's not a dungeon........................... ]

Did yours look like this?

No, the officer's academy was built within the walls of a monastery. It looked more akin to a great stone castle.

I see. It sounds like a good place to have lived.

What of your own home? Do you miss it?

Well... Of course I do. It's certainly better than here.

[just a little note of discomfort in her tone, easy to miss if she's not paying close attention.]

I suppose to standard must be quite low, if you've been here so long.
