No, I do think I need to worry about you. Nara'a have you looked in a mirror lately? Obvious reasons for being damp aside, I really think you need to find other people to help you. You can't shoulder this alone just because you can 'breathe underwater'.
[ Blunt as ever, even without the sharp edge of anger. ]
Have you even tried to find help? Or taken a break? And I don't mean fitful napping until your omen alerts you about someone approaching.
[ Gaia knows what's what here. She has her suspicions anyway. ]
[ It seems such a cold phrase coming from Gaia. Her expression is even though she appears to be reflecting a little as if on memory. And her eyes seem full of sadness. ]
And I know you'll keep pushing yourself until you drop or succumb, Nara'a. If you don't know who to ask, use the network. Don't worry about not knowing anyone. These people that are coming to the sea to die, surely they have those who care for them. Or would care. Might I point out you knew me and didn't ask? Even if you think I wouldn't help, you could have at least hired me for the task.
[ Wait what? For a second she looks confused. Frowns and shakes her head. Gaia's expression softens but it's still a stern look she turns on the miqo'te. The teen is going to pretend she didn't say something odd. ]
If there's something out there causing people to try and throw themselves into the sea, you're going to wear yourself ragged just trying to stop the people. Why not find help and look for the source? Or at least a solution to protect people from whatever it is.
[ She's not going to fall for those sad cat ears you know. But well... that's probably not the reason for the distressed body language. Her demeanor softens more and she looks concerned. ]
I suppose sometimes it's hard to think in the heat of the moment. But... I remember you had problems sometimes taking on the weight of the world. So think of this as a reminder you can ask for help even when your friends are elsewhere. You don't have to be the only one to save it.
[ Now where she's at these days is not what you'd call 'safe' by any stretch of the imagination. There's a shelter and a barrier and many protections but remaining idle overlong... well it's not helping the others around her if she isn't doing her share. She looks up at the sound of some manner of conflict that... while not right on top of her is near enough to hear the distant sounds of battle. ]
Nara'a, I'd like to talk more but I need to go help out. Don't delay in getting that call out over the network. Also I'll be at the outpost more... did I say that already? [ There's only a second to think if she did before shrugging and continuing. ] Well it's going to be easier to look for me there than home. Though I'll be coming back every other day to check on the garden and such. So.... make sure I see you there when I come by, alright? I want to be sure you're actually resting.
I know. I know I don't.need to be the only one. I'm just... used to the others being around. And when they're not... I don't quite know how to do things without them.
... Okay. Just... be as safe as you can be. And I'll... be home at some point soon. Once someone else comes to take over... I know I need some rest.

But I don't know who to ask. I haven't been here long enough. And I... haven't looked in a mirror.
[It's fine. This is Fine.]
If I can save someone, I will. It's... if someone died while I wasn't looking, I don't... I just...
[He trails off and looks up at the water. Still safe.]

Date: 2022-07-15 03:41 am (UTC)I will be quite cross if I don't see you when I return, Nara'a. Stay safe.
[ And then she disconnects before going to join the defenders in pushing back another wave of monsters. ]
