nonfighters are ok too
but if we run into something out there i just want to know how many people are actually able

I agree. It would be wiser to be overly prepared than ill prepared. After all, you will be travelling with others. In a way, that makes you responsible for their well being.

[But since she's good with her sword and that's about all she's good with, Beatrix doesn't mind lending her assistance here. Besides, she's curious about the sea herself.]

yeah
i dont want to lose anyone because i didnt think of any possibilities

[he's already been there, done that.]

it was my idea anyway...and sanji, but i already had an itch to get out there

[roseofmay]

I suspect you are not the only one to feel that way. It is likely that several have found themselves to be a bit restless. This will be a good opportunity to see something new. I admit that I am also interested in what we shall find. I do not often take the time to step away from my patrolling. This will be a good opportunity.

[A good opportunity for her to distract herself, something she couldn't get if she were merely patrolling.]

itd also help figure out if theres something thats gonna come at us
i dont like surprises like that
also what if there are other people like us in another place??? i just wanna know

[roseofmay]

As if the implication is the only thing that could come for us would come from the sea. I think my concern would be if too many of us with combative skills took to the ocean, something or someone clever could take advantage of that and arm an assault elsewhere defences were weaker.

At least, that would be my thought process were this a battlefield and were we in the middle of a war. I do not have the same thought process regarding this particular expedition.

I suggest bringing a Sylvari by the name of Trahearne. I believe I mentioned him to you once before when we originally met.

[At least she normally would. After their conversation at Eustace and Tifa's wedding, she's no longer certain about that. He may simply wish to be left alone.]

He was the one who began archiving various information from here. He may be interested in this pursuit as well. You ought to reach out to him.

[judoflipped]

[he's not ignoring her, it just takes him a while to read it all. the words start scrambling his brain, but Beatrix is smart and he kind of wants to know her input.]

i didnt even really figure so many people would want to go but theres still some that will probably stay
ok ill try to get in contact with him then
i just wanna be prepared for anything when we go out there is all

[roseofmay]

I understand.

[And it would be all too easy for her to over complicate things. It's one thing to do that to her own affairs. It's quite another to do so to another's.]

If there is anything I may do to assist, do not hesitate to let me know.

[judoflipped]

will do thanks Beatrix!
