Probably because whatever that was decided I was going to be a scout. I was just wearing it when I found myself there.

[he glances down at the boots]

Your cousin's got great taste in shoes, just BTW.

[polyglotti]

[Oh no, she's laughing now.]

Lalli didn't even pick those, it's just what he got. I guess Taru thought they would have been useful?

[ontrend]

They served me pretty well. [sticks his leggy out. there are bite marks on the ankle of one boot, but nothing that actually goes all the way through.] Sturdy and cute.

[polyglotti]

Very useful! In fact, it looks like you didn't get hurt at all!

[Me, smiling at Britt.]

[ontrend]

Yeah, 'cause I didn't. Somehow.

[he sounds confused by that wHILE I CURSE THE DICE]

[polyglotti]

That's a miracle. With how the other three were torn up, they must have done a good job of protecting you.

[ontrend]

...

[it's insecurity week, so he. nods.]

...yeah, they must have.

[polyglotti]

[Kura...

Actually, it reminds Tuuri of something, so.]

You see why immunity is so important, right?

[ontrend]

Yeah... I get that now.

[polyglotti]

And going by your reactions, you must have run into some pretty bad stuff.

[ontrend]

...yeah. It was - it was not great.

[polyglotti]

I'm sorry you had to see that. There are parts of the world that aren't like that, but those are still very real hazards.

[ontrend]

That's not your fault... it's not like you woke up one day and were just like, "Yo, you know what sounds cool? Sending a bunch of the others to go deal with all of that."

That's not on you, so don't apologize.

[polyglotti]

There's parts of my world I would love for people to see. Just...not trolls.

[ontrend]

...yeah. I didn't really get the chance to look around a whole lot, but... where we were seemed like it could've been really nice before the trolls came.

[polyglotti]

Yeah...

[She sighs. Feeling inadequate about how her home world kind of sucks!]

It's too bad you didn't end up in Saimaa or something. It's a lot more peaceful there.

[ontrend]

Yeah? What's Saimaa like?

[polyglotti]

It's...kinda swampy in summer, honestly, but in the fall and winter it's quite nice. It's not just one city, it's several places spread out over a series of islands in the Saimaa lake system. It's quiet there, and life seems to go at a leisurely pace.

It's funny, as a kid I always thought life there was boring. And it kind of is still. But, like...as much as I love adventure and seeing new things, having somewhere quiet to eventually go home to is a nice thought.

[ontrend]

...that does sound nice. Somewhere quiet and peaceful...

[he closes his eyes and tries to imagine it.]

...weird that it's so hard to imagine now.

[polyglotti]

It is a little bit, huh? Between the parties and the trials, there really aren't any peaceful days here.

[ontrend]

Yeah. We haven't known a moment's peace since we woke up in jail.

[polyglotti]

[She gives a tired smile.]

Three more weeks, yeah?

[ontrend]

...something like that, yeah. We'll get through it.
