Why have we not returned to Exsilium? The danger is over, isn't it?

[Kili looks frustrated and tired. He's not used to being cooped up indoors like this, and no one can really blame a dwarf for not understanding radiation. and nuclear bombs.]

This place wasn't meant for living on. We can't even go outdoors! It doesn't feel like we're living anymore, merely... surviving.

And Kang, forgive me, but it seems it will be a while longer before I can continue with the blade my uncle forged you.

[Someone dressed and speaking similarly to his world? Kelsier takes immediate interest.]

I am told the danger persists, and that is why we have not yet returned.

[Kili is far from being the only one tired and exhausted. Saori is sitting on her bed, with her cat Mana asleep on her lap.]

Unfortunately, the weapons they used on Exsilium is possibly the worst humanity has ever created. The detonation is horrible but the after effects are terrible.

To put into simple terms, they rendered Exsilium inhabitable for centuries to come. It's worse than salting the earth.

As others have said, the land, and air, is poisoned. No one will be able to go back for probably several human generations.

I understand. There aren't many resources for forging up here.

I suggest takin' up some missions if ya want some fresh air. We ain't goin' back down there till we can totally reverse what happened, cuz it's still totally dangerous down there.

[she looks sympathetic, because she feels the same way]

That is a nice way to put it.

Action

[walkingarsenal]

We could go outdoors. [Fili greets Kili with that when he comes back to the room with some unappetizing moon food to hand over. He's rarely let Kili out of his sight over these past few weeks - hopefully, as warranted as it may be, it hasn't made being confined to this place even more stifling. He can understand Kili's frustration well. He can't do much to cheer him up, though.]

Not here, but... [This thought becomes less appealing whenever wariness overpowers it.] If they send us to a place where we can hunt, we could bring back fresher supplies.

I fear that it seems to have not fully passed.

[She feels your pain Kili. Even with the Sun, at least Exsilium had fresh air to breath. Even the rain was more tolerable than this.]

At least the view can be lovely from here. Who would have imagined such a sight back home?

[justgo]

Y'know sometimes, survivin' is all you can do. [She's keeping her tone even, not scolding or anything as she shifts, shakes her head.] The action might be over, but that place won't have anyone there for a while.

Not if that they wanna keep their face.
