practicality

They'd better.

Yeah, and how do you plan on damaging something that you can't even see? If you die because of this, then you die and nothing's changed! At least wait to learn something before dying for it.

I'm sorry.

Perhaps not, but what else can I do?

I am.

I'm a fighter, not a scholar. I know that much.

Yeah, okay, I understand that. But that doesn't mean that you go and do something stupid. What if Thalassa comes back and finds out her brother died for something like this?

You're not a scholar, so team up with somebody who is.

If I knew, my son would not be gone. If I could think of any way, anything to do, aside from suicidal writing, I would have done it. That is the only time they notice, when someone writes something foolish.

I won't know until I try.

That makes no sense. These journals monitor our life force?

Unfortunately not.

All you'll accomplish like this is becoming a lesson to the rest of us.
