Maybe, maybe not. This place is great for hiding in plain sight. It'd be easy to go unnoticed with all the crowds, especially if they didn't gather in a group until they had to act...
[Chuuya you're an athlete and not supposed to know that, probably. He seems to realize the same thing after a moment, shaking his head and adding-]
That's how it works in crime novels and shit. Though I guess they'd still have to have a place to keep their stuff, huh.
Yeah, well, gotta do something when I'm not training.
[And clearly he reads. That's exactly what it is. It's chill.
But he raises a brow at that comment, lips twitching into a faint grin.]
If they didn't use it all up, then I'd sure hope that's what ends up happening. Shame we didn't think to ask about that while we had one of them... well, not that she was that easy to get answers from. Pretty sure she wouldn't have told us if we did.
[ A man of taste and culture—until whenever she meets Baren.
She finishes bandaging his leg, nice and neat. She shakes her head, her smile becoming more gentle, as she takes a step away from him. She snaps her first aid kit shut. He's all clear. ]
You were burned for your trouble. You've done enough, finding out what you did. Of course I won't stop you from finding more, but please take care. I'll try to find out what I can, too, now that I know what to listen for.
[It's not bad enough to stop him, he means, which as far as he's concerned is the same thing. Once she's finished, he crosses one leg over the other, humming to himself.]
If you do find anything, or you need a hand looking-- I'm still in good enough shape to help back you up, if you need it.
I ran into him earlier, and I asked him to look out for first aid supplies, if he could. [ So next time, more people will have something on hand. Or that's what she wishes. ] I hate seeing good people get hurt.
[ She smiles, and as she stands with the first aid kit, her grip on it is as if she's holding something precious. ]
I'll be happy to patch you up in the future, if you need it, but I hope you won't.
You and me both. It'll be hard to keep up in my events if I go too hard-- but it's not like I'm that old, either. If I have to... well, I've got more of my career left.
[It comes a little slowly, like it's hard for him to consider the concept of not being able to fully participate, but-- if it came to it, he wouldn't let his position keep him from acting. Case in point: yeeting after a certain rollerblade gremlin to save his ass.]
[ Her smile is more genuine now, and it's honestly a relief to hear that from him. Even though she hadn't been assimilated into this world, she's seen and read enough to know how far some athletes try to push themselves. Even outside of athletes, some people are just like that. Like certain gremlins who needed to be saved. ]
You should have a long life to live to your utmost potential.

What a profound reader you are. [ She's not as sarcastic as that word choice makes her seem. It makes her think. He's not wrong. ]
Yes, to set off all those explosions, they'd have to hide it somewhere. If anyone finds it, I hope they clear it out.
[ By her tone, as casual as it is, it almost sounds like she means burn them out. ]

[ She doesn't know how impulsive or headstrong Chuuya is, but it doesn't hurt to ask. ]
If it comes to it, I'll come find you.

[He just. Didn't want his doctor friend to know about this, it's fine, everything is fine.
also everyone is getting into so much i'm dying at all of us, god.]
But I'm in room 29 in Victory Village, if you ever need to find me or leave a message.

I'm sure your friend will give you a scolding in my stead if you don't, but I'll remember that. Thank you.

[He gives her an appreciate nod, there.]
I owe you one.
