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.]

A lot better. Thank you.

[ And he's smiling at that comment. ]

Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. If anything I should be saying that to you. You're the one planning on running this organization, right?

You got into the catacombs safely, right? When everything was happening... You weren't in the room I put you in when I went searching for you.

[She shakes her head, smiling brightly. She doesn't know how to accept a compliment.]

I'll be alright. There's so many people that want to help out, and I think it's a joint effort more than anything. Anyway, you wanted to help?

[ His expression darkens for just a second. ]

Ah, my memories of the time are a little muddled, but yeah I eventually managed to make it to safety.

[ But with the help of someone he didn't expect to see here at Exsilium. ]

And nothing in particular. I can do whatever you need me to.

I'm glad to hear that! I was so worried... Anyway, what sort of things do you think you'd be best at? I'd like to put people in places that they're comfortable with more than anything.

[ Haha... He doesn't want people to worry about him. Especially since he doubts this is the last time he'll be in life threatening danger while here in Exsilium... ]

Honestly? Anywhere you need someone picking up some slack I'd be happy to help out in. I'm sure if it's something I've never done before I could learn fast enough.

Mm... Alright. Well, rebuilding the hospital and housing is most important right now, and they could always use more hands. It'd be a good place for you to start, if that's okay.

[ The hospital... yeah, that would need to be rebuilt. He's still a little upset about the fact that during the mayhem he ended up abandoning the hospital and the people there. Even if he doesn't remember doing it.

He's trying not to let those feelings show right now though. ]

That's fine. I can't promise my carpentry skills are any good, but I'm a fast study.
