But it just let us go right through... I wonder why it's here.

[There wasn't any fee for them to pay... weird.]

[soulus]

There are neither tracks nor a train. As it is now, this station is a waste of space.

[dawnblushed]

[sorry, but.]

What's a "train"?

[soulus]

A mode of transportation. It's capable of carrying many passengers.

[dawnblushed]

Oh! Like a carriage?

[soulus]

Yes, but bigger and faster.

[dawnblushed]

Huh... I wonder why I've never heard of one before. That sounds like something useful.

[Yona's goal: bring trains to Kouka.]

[soulus]

Perhaps they've yet to be invented in your world. Where I'm from, carriages preceded trains.

[dawnblushed]

How much would it cost for you to teach me how to make one?

[soulus]

I'm afraid I can't. I don't know how to make trains. But I can refer you to someone who does.

[dawnblushed]

Oh? There's someone here who knows how to do that?

[soulus]

If there is, I don't know them. You will have to wait until we can leave this place.

[dawnblushed]

Oh.

I'm not very good at waiting.

[soulus]

If you want to know, you'll have to learn. Not everything happens overnight.

[dawnblushed]

It's fine if it takes a while to learn. It's just annoying to have to wait to even start learning.

[soulus]

You can learn to wait.

[dawnblushed]

[opens mouth



closes mouth. yeah, that's true.]

[soulus]

They say that patience is a virtue. Do you care to be virtuous?

[dawnblushed]

...it doesn't feel like there's a good answer to this question.

[soulus]

. . . Is that so?

[dawnblushed]

Right! Because obviously, it's good to be virtuous, but sometimes being too patient means you let things pass you by, and that's not good.

[soulus]

That's indolence.

When you're patient, you lie in wait for those things. Only negligence would allow them to pass by you.

[dawnblushed]

Okay, but then how do you know when going for something is just not letting it pass you by, and when it's impatience?

[soulus]

Doesn't that depend on the person?

Your original answer was fine.

[dawnblushed]

Was it?

[Her original answer was that there wasn't a good answer...]
