Is it working...?

Um- hello! My name is Cheria Barnes, and I've been here for a few months now. I'd meant to do this sooner, but with everything that's happened... Well, it seems like as best a time as any now.

Back home on Ephinea I lead a relief organization to help with the aftereffects of war. We ran food drives, helped with building repairs, gave first aid-- pretty much anything people needed of us that we could help with, you know?

So... I was thinking that I could start something like that up here too. For people that can't fight but still want to help. I thought it would probably be a good way to get the people here to trust us again too... Anyway, if you'd be interested, please let me know!

Thank you.

[She bows, but it's a little lost in the view of the tablet.]

Um-- how did he say to turn it off again? [The feed is still live for a few minutes before she finally manages to turn it off.]

Let's see...

[She crosses the room to look down at a list of things she'd jotted down.]

There's a lot of medical supplies that are left in the wreckage at the hospital. We should try to salvage what we can. We need stuff for rebuilding. Hammers, nails... I know the natives aren't too happy with us, so it'll be hard to barter with them, but hopefully since it's to rebuild they're home they'll agree to help us.

I can help look for medical supplies, then.

[Bartering, maybe not such a good idea. He can get along with the people of Luin now, but talking to angry natives is still not one of his strong points.]

[Cheria won't hold it against him. It's hard trying to approach people that openly dislike you.

She nods, setting her paper down.]

Okay! That'll be a big help. Once that's done, I'll find something else for you to do, if you want.

[Action]

[knightofcourage]

That sounds good. I won't be able to start right away, but...well, there's something that I have to do first.

[Otherwise, uh. Awkward. (Not like it won't be already.)]

[flashmaiden]

That's alright. It's volunteer work, so start whenever it's good for you, okay? I don't want to push anyone to do something if they're busy with something else.

[Action]

[knightofcourage]

Okay. Thank you.

[He smiles, grateful for her patience.]

And thank you for having me here, by the way. I appreciate it.

[flashmaiden]

Oh no, it's our pleasure to have you! Any friend of Kaneis' is welcome here.

I look forward to working with you in the future, too.

[Action]

[knightofcourage]

Right.

[Emil turns and takes a step towards the door, since he's probably taken up enough of Cheria's time.]

I guess...I'll see you soon, right?

[Action]

[flashmaiden]

Mm! I'll see you for dinner, right?

[Action]

[knightofcourage]

Yes, of course. I'll see you then.
