...I might do that.

[She glances down at the bow, though, and shakes her head.]

No. Having this to practice with just helps me to feel more focused, is all. [A pause, and then -] Should there be?

[papasha]

[He shakes his head, and offers a reassuring but tight smile.]

No. I was going to offer to speak to them while you were practicing, if that were the case. To make sure they were all right.

[dawnblushed]

[ME, MISREADING THAT AS "IS THERE ANYONE YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT DEFENDING YOURSELF AGAINST"]

[dawnblushed]

Oh - you meant that kind of worried about...

[...]

Shigeo... I don't think he's ever experienced anything like this before. Usagi and Hikaru seemed really upset, too... and [she checks the phs] Fiora. She was really surprised by the results...

[papasha]

[BRITT, IM CRYING.]

That is quite the list of people you've given me, Miss Yona.

[He's teasing, even if it's a bit of tired teasing.]

[dawnblushed]

I'll probably check on them once I've calmed down, so you don't have to...

[...ah. Wait a minute.]

I should thank you, for - before. At the trial, when they were asking about our items from home.

[papasha]

[He smiles slightly.]

You don't have to thank me. That isn't something you have to explain to anyone unless you want to.

[dawnblushed]

...I think there are a lot of things we shouldn't have to explain to anyone, but the circumstances don't always allow for that.

[Keeping secrets is no bueno when people are dying.]

[papasha]

Do you believe people aren't entitled to their reasons for taking someone else's life, Miss Yona? Because it's killing?

[dawnblushed]

People have their reasons for that. Sometimes they're even good reasons. [...] I've killed, before.

[Should she be admitting that so readily? Whatever.]

But when things like today happen, it's... normal for people to question it, I think.

[papasha]

I think it's normal, too, yes. And I think a lot of us can get into big arguments about whether or not a lot of this is right, or wrong.

But it isn't going to stop it from happening, if that happens to be the case.

[dawnblushed]

...no, it probably won't.

[So where does that leave them? It leaves them in for a bad time, that's where.]

[papasha]

[He frowns gently, feeling bad for Yona and the others who are young here. But he isn't surprised.]

Would you like for me to come with you, Miss Yona? I don't mind if you want to be alone, however.

[dawnblushed]

You're welcome to come if you want to... but I might not be very good company.

[She gets pretty focused when she's shooting things.]
