[. . . probably not tbh, BUT SHE DOESN'T KNOW BETTER??? NO ONE TOLD HER??? also she probably won't drink much anyway thanks to the trial]
I intend to. Dr. Lecter told me to rest, and Percy told me to "chill" for a while. And by "chill," he also meant "rest."
[because apparently they mean the same thing??? or something??? human phrases]
I must admit, I don't like sitting around and doing nothing when there are places to explore and secrets to find. But I understand that I'm not in any condition to be taking on dangerous activities.
[Alas, Barnham also doesn't know better so here milla lies, death by drinking while taking painkillers.]
Indeed. You have done a great deal to assist us in discovering more of this town.
[There's a pause, and he frowns.]
It loathes me to have others take such obvious risks. However... I believe there is merit in the thought that the information we could gather from those places shall be invaluable.
[and everyone else thought she'd be murdered. or, at least, die doing something dangerous]
Precisely. And I know for a fact that we're meant to discover these secrets, too. The Sheriff told me as much when I asked him.
"Brown nosing"-- [no Milla that is not the term] -- into the secrets of this town may be a part of the "entertainment" we're supposedly providing, but I'm certain it'll also give us answers. Answer that will help us all get home safely.
Indeed... well, I shall keep that in mind. However, let us attempt to lessen the number of injuries obtained in such rapid succession, if nothing else. It is a concern to us all, and may impact morale.
I can assure you, however, that Xion and I took all of the precautions we could take and were still injured. Sometimes, danger can't be avoided every when you're trying to be extremely careful.
I wouldn't call what I do "running headlong into danger." I'm simply not afraid of risk.
[which is probably pretty obvious. NEVERTHELESS. . .!]
I think you'd get along very well with Undine and Efreet. Gnome and Sylph can be a bit more troublesome, but your demeanor does remind me of the spirits of water and fire.
[That's...that's really embarrassing, Milla??? What a frank and sincerely nice analysis. He blinks, and then clears his throat, looking away and raising his glass to his lips.
Ah...]
... Well. Thank you. That is...much appreciated.
[Also way nicer than he can handle hearing.]
That said... I do believe you are right. When we have broken this ridiculous game, we must force him to allow us to visit. Tis only fair.

no subject
I believe so as well.
... However, if you would, please take a break from doing anything reckless.
[Honestly, Milla!!]
If there if something you terribly require explored, please inform me. I shall assist as I may.
[And he doesn't have broken ribs.]
no subject
Well. . . there are still nine other boarded up buildings to open, if you're feeling rather brave.
no subject
Do you not think enough injuries have been sustained this week? Doctor Lecter may need a break from this.
[...that said--]
If there were one you were particularly concerned about, which would it be?
no subject
Considering I interrupted Dr. Lecter while he was spending time with Will. . .
[yeah okay, maybe people should bac off for a bit]k
It would be the mortician's. That one seems like the most useful building we have left to open.
no subject
[But.
He'll keep the mortician's in mind.]
no subject
I can assure you, however, that Xion and I took all of the precautions we could take and were still injured. Sometimes, danger can't be avoided every when you're trying to be extremely careful.
no subject
[And not interrupting Dr. Lecter's love life more.]
Still, it is something I would like to keep in mind.
no subject
Of course.
If you decide to go, I'd support you in whatever way I could.
[she'd honestly prefer to go WITH him, but. her cracked ribs probably make that an impossibility]
no subject
[Milla's a good ally that way, though--]
And your support shall be greatly appreciated. ...So long as you are a properly safe distance away.
no subject
[she almost slumps in her seat, but in the end decides not to because that'd probably be a little painful]
I feel as though I'm being scolded by one of The Four.
no subject
I am unfamiliar with "The Four", but if they would say something similar, I find that I agree with them. You have been all too reckless.
no subject
They're four greater spirits back home who are directly under my command. They've been with me throughout my entire life.
[so they practically raised her, basically]
I'm fond of all four of them, but they can be quite the hassle when they think they know what's best for me.
no subject
Shall I take this to mean that running headlong into danger, presuming you believe the cause to be worth it, is a common trait of yours?
If that is the case, I do believe I know where these...spirits of yours are coming from.
no subject
[which is probably pretty obvious. NEVERTHELESS. . .!]
I think you'd get along very well with Undine and Efreet. Gnome and Sylph can be a bit more troublesome, but your demeanor does remind me of the spirits of water and fire.
no subject
[Interesting.]
Should we ever receive the chance, I would like to meet them myself.
[He's learning more about magic every day...and it's not so bad.]
no subject
You're patient and steady, yet strong, like the constant stream of flowing water. You're also full of passion, like a burning inferno.
[yes. she's happy with these associations. nods]
If there is a way for the Sheriff to bring us here in the first place, I imagine there is a way for us to visit each other's worlds once we leave.
no subject
Ah...]
... Well. Thank you. That is...much appreciated.
[Also way nicer than he can handle hearing.]

[harumphs! again]
He is reasonable, but not particularly kind.
no subject
It is simply a matter of making the demand something he, too, sees as reasonable.
