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.

I would be grateful for that. Likewise, I will do the same. I am not arrogant enough to believe I can figure this out on my own. Yet I believe with the input of others, we will be able to devise something pragmatic to the benefit of the town.

[What is this unity. Who replaced Beatrix.]

[...Indeed who is this person, is this Dohalims's influence—]

It feels like your tone has shifted compared to before.

I have always believed in actions to be taken for the benefit of the collective rather than the individual. I felt the same way back in Alexandria. I simply have not made it a habit of saying so.

[It's not just that.]

If I wish to earn the trust of the people here, if I am to ever play the role of guard in a more official capacity, I must earn that as well. At times, my honesty and openness will be required.

[Hoh.]

You are correct, and I think your approach is more than sufficient. The fact that you are even taking the lead will be seen as admirable by many.

However, you may still wish to consider someone to act as "PR" to further improve relations between the eventual group and the public.

[Admirable by some, she considers correcting him. There are others who will think she is too brazen and bold. Those who will perceive her with wariness and mistrust. As is their right.]

I am not a member of this council. I think I will leave that to those who would play such parts. It is certainly something I will pass onward to those better suited to such. Of course, if you wish to speak well of a potential council, that would be an appreciated gesture as well.

I do not, but your friend Dohalim probably could.

[Did he really—

Just when she thinks she's gotten away from all of that.]

I do not believe he has made any decision about whether he intends to support such a notion or not. He, like others, may have apprehension about assigning any such order to this place.

From how you described him, I imagine he could at least give you advice on communication and presentation.

I believe Lord Dohalim has learned well enough that I am not necessarily inclined to listen to his advice. On occasion, I will humour him. I believe he was spending more of his time attempting to convincing me of my own position as officially instated guard, though I was insistent otherwise.

He seems quite insistent as well and somewhat successful.

[Given how far along she is now.]

Are you certain you are not more familiar with him? You seem to know him quite well.

Not at all, I'm only guessing by what you've said about him so far.

I was not aware I said much save that he was a lord where he came from. I suppose that says enough. Although it is presumptuous to think a title implies one is an adequate match for said title.

[Not that Beatrix thinks Dohalim was a bad one or anything. Probably the opposite, given all she's learned about him.]

Perhaps I have been careless.

[...

Beatrix please you went on a mini rant praise(??) about him not long ago but he'll just let her think that.]

Regardless, these are all worthwhile endeavors. If I hear of anything I'll let you know.

[There, he is sparing you of more Dohalim talk.]

[Please.

Don't remind her. Let her attempt to live in ignorance. Publicly. For now. Maybe.]

I would appreciate that. I will keep you informed of my progress, or lack thereof, if applicable. And do not think I have forgotten our magic lessons. I believe I shall be collecting on that shortly.

[Hah.]

I also hope to continue to further develop it, so just let me know.
