It gives me an excuse to properly torment him as a teacher should.

[thumps up]

... Do you really need an excuse for that?

[The people I live with sure don't...]

No, I just like to pretend I have justification beyond my title.

That's very honorable of you. Most people don't even pretend.

It keeps him on his toes.

Anyway... mostly, I'm either out training or hunting at this hour... but I made a deal with Dellen to not endanger myself for five days... this is day two.

[...bro...you had to make a deal with a god for that...]

You normally go out alone?

[it's already been pointed out a number of times that I'm a workaholic, hush]

No, not alone. I learned the hard way when I first came here to not underestimate the things nature can throw at you.

You too, huh?

I guess it's the best way to learn...

Stiltwalkers aren't my favorite creatures, let's just say.

Stiltwalkers... I don't think I've met those yet.

Dragons, though...

They're these spider-like creatures... their legs look like thin trees but have spikes on the bottom of them to pin their prey. Their main bodies are up high--the ones in the large hall area were over ten feet tall and they would only come down when they had pin prey to feed off of.

Ling and I were nearly killed by two of them on our first day. I ended up killing them both, though.

You must be an excellent fighter.

I'm no push-over...

I guess it's not really much of a surprise, if you're teaching others.

Mm... but it's more just reviewing basics for the most part. Though I have been having group training sessions in the evenings.

A bit like a professor, isn't it?

I wonder if more organized education isn't a bad idea, in this place.

Probably. Mostly, I can help fighters and the like...

... I've also been looking into possibly arranging for a general meeting to try to get a better idea of how we're wanting to go about doing things in this place.

... I've been thinking the same. What with... recent events.

Justice without rule or law is anything but. It's revenge.

I've had enough of that in one lifetime. I don't want to have to see things spiral so out of control in a second one.

Sometimes—often—even the law is unjust. We have to be careful of that, too.

Most of them are young... How things go now will affect how they contribute to this world in the future. That's why I'd like to get it settled sooner, rather than later.

--sorry, but you look just as young...

Is that not the case?

... Ahh. Sorry. I tend to forget...

I'm not nearly as young as I look, no.

... I see.

But we're agreed on that last part.

If you already have a plan in mind, I'd like to help.

It's more a general idea than anything else. Mostly, I just know we need to get everyone to come to give their say, but at the same time, there should be some idea of the topics and even rules that could be voted on.

Imposing something more forceful wouldn't be the best ideas, but the ball has to get rolling somehow...

Right now, I'm just looking to get all the help I can with getting things going.
