XX2 Entry

Subject: No Rest for the Weary

It would appear that I have been indisposed, though that seems to have been rectified. If for any reason, you have been seeking me, I can now properly attend to matters that were not appropriately handled before said indisposition.

That said, please refrain from entering my personal space and leaving books, regardless of the quality of reading material. Furthermore, please refrain from entering my personal space, period.

I had, prior to my temporary condition, been discussing how to better provide a defence for the town proper. As more dream walkers find themselves in this world, not only do we grow in population count, we also grow in the evolution of the town. The market, beings who are not exactly dream walkers like ourselves, yet present all the same, farming land, the coliseum in disrepair, and our other outskirts.

I would like to know if it is possible to create a defensive ward to otherwise protect Reverein citizens from potential outside threats by use of dreamotion in the establishment of wards. If we are capable of creating such things, it may also be possible to recycle or supply a consistent and constant flow of dreamotion in an effort to power said wards or barriers.

For some time, I have contemplated the ability to, for lack of a better term, 'bottle' dreamotion for later usage. If you have any experience in such matters, I implore you to share your results.

[...This. This is not how this works. It's evident that Susato does not know who she's dealing with. But to be fair, Beatrix is a piece of work for anyone to endure.

Is this a trap?]

Just waking should have no bearing on what my capabilities are. That said, I cannot help but wonder your interest in meeting with me. Is something amiss that I ought to be aware of?

[Apparently, she is not accustomed to someone wanting to... spend time with her? Is that what's really going on here?]

[judicialassistant]

[ BEATRIX...... She's trying really hard not to feel hurt here. Maybe she has overstepped her bounds. ]

I did not mean to imply anything about your capabilities. I merely meant it as a kind gesture. Just in case you needed some help adjusting after such a long slumber.

Plus... it has been a while?

[roseofmay]

[Beatrix should apologise. Should, being the keyword there. She doesn't, which is not a complete surprise. It's growth that she feels like she ought to, though.]

I have heard that I did cause concern to others. That was not my intention. If you were worried, I assure you that I seem to be well and in good order. The concern is appreciated.

I suppose I would not dislike to see you again. It will allow me to more properly express my gratitude for the things you provided me at the flower festival.

[judicialassistant]

[ There's a pause here before Susato responds. She doesn't expect an apology, though she does feel a slight sting at her overall sentiment.

Maybe she shouldn't. (Too late. What's she gonna do? Back off, after that?) ]

Where may I find you?

[roseofmay]

I often patrol the town proper. Perhaps meet me in a place that you are especially fond of. Otherwise, you may find it difficult to cross paths with me.

[Not that she doesn't stand out. She does and she's aware of it.]

[judicialassistant]

[ A place she's fond of? Well... she's come to have plenty of those. The lake comes to mind. The Harvest Garden. But... ]

Have you ever visited the dog park?

[roseofmay]

I am familiar with it. I believe I have seen it in passing. Perhaps have visited it once or twice. I am content to meet you here.

[But honestly? Any place would have been fine for her.]

[judicialassistant]

[ Good enough for her. Susato smiles, seeming satisfied. ]

I will see you there.
