[Romance is not how she would put it, but it’d kind of hard to argue against that. There are no shortage of stories in Alexandria about knights dying in glorious battles. That glory is very much the reason many people enlist in that kind of servitude, after all. Given how finite life is back home, many simply wish to leave their mark on the world. Beatrix is hardly any different in that respect, even if she might not necessarily openly admit to that.

She thinks to address his idea of a ‘proper’ experiment, whatever he might be considering such. Mostly to ask if he’s capable of devising just such a thing. Before she gets far enough to even insert a word about it, however, his ever-fluttering mind is off onto the next theory. That too is almost impressive. She too is a thinker, though perhaps not nearly as much in the same way.

He gestures to the grounds and there’s logic in his theory. Her best thinking comes from being in the heat of a situation. It is not that Beatrix cannot strategise. She can. But feeling is something that comes from a reaction to something else. It stands to reason that she would have difficulty simulating the experience when she has little to compare it to. These quieter moments are nothing in comparison to a more drastic circumstance.]


That is a possibility. I had not considered it previously. You are right that in moments like these, the more ‘peaceful’ moments we have, the situation is different. Devising a tactic for handling something is a great deal different.

[It is also entirely possible that Beatrix overthinks and she would be very willing to buy that she’s the one standing in her own way of progression on the dreamotion front.]
