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.

[Is... he mocking her? She knows that. It's simply not... not in Beatrix's normal character to do such a thing.]

I also suppose that I may be a touch brusque. It is within my intentions to improve my ability to convey polite behaviour. As such, I would find your insight valuable and believe you to be of practicality. In presence and with your varied abilities, honing them as you may be.

[She's trying.]

[sleightofhans]

I would almost call that flattery, but thank you. :)

[Okay, maybe he'll stop giving her a hard time in all this.]

Of course I'll help you. I'd do anything I can to help defend the people here.

[roseofmay]

[Gross. She's flattered him. This is what she gets for being honest. Beatrix can kick herself about this later on.]

I would appreciate that, as I suspect so too would the others here who may not have the skills that you and I possess. Although, I still require a vessel for hold dreamotion energy. I have some valuable ideas that were provided to me, however need to prepare for them first.

We can meet in a few days' time if you would be so kind as to provide me opportunity to acquire that.

[sleightofhans]

I'm quite happy to hear that others have been able to provide useful ideas for your project. Just name the time, and I'll most likely be there, short of some terrible event going on.

None of us can be too careful, but I imagine that's why you've been so invested in this.

[roseofmay]

Afternoon or evening would be appropriate, Your Highness. It will allow me to perform my routine patrols. Unless you wish to join me for just such an excursion. That can be arranged. Then if you have any further ideas on how I may be able to further protect the town, you can present them.

[sleightofhans]

Afternoon would be just fine, General. I do have some of my own morning duties to attend to, so I believe that time would be best so that our schedules don't clash. Unless, of course, it's an emergency, but I believe that a few hours won't make a large difference at this time.

[Mostly, he doesn't want to help patrol this town... although, it might be good to know this in the future.]

[roseofmay]

It is very unlikely I will find myself in an emergency.

[Even if she did, would she say anything? It's unlikely. Beatrix is slowly growing, but... She doubts she's grown that much.]

As such, I believe you can tend to your morning duties as needed. I have my own, as well, after all. It is not as though we are in dire straits.

[sleightofhans]

Then I shall meet you at our designated time. You have my word as a prince of the Southern Isles.

[Not that it really means much, but hey, Hans does tend to keep his word this time.]

[roseofmay]

I will be holding you to that. Until then, Your Highness.

[She may, or may not. Not everyone here commits themselves the same way and she knows better to put those expectations down.

But maybe. Just maybe Hans is a man of his word.]
