It's been a long couple of days. At least, it felt like days. Lots of fighting and magic shit and soul-searching and non-euclidean nonsense which is all really tiring. But now there's a chance to have a rest. A real rest, not just a sit-down between fights to keep from running out of steam.

What's everyone up to?

"Well, my father always said improvisation was one of the best tools he had, so I'm sure he won't mind. He probably would have gotten a kick out of it. I can hear the eulogy now: 'Hey, dad. I couldn't find a cleric of Bahamut so I grabbed a party goddess instead.'"

Velo chuckles a bit despite herself. Humor had always been her biggest coping mechanism, which was another thing she got from her dad. The prospect of going back and paying respects will be something to look forward to.

However, that makes another thought cross her mind. The Empire took her land for a reason. The village sat on top of a rich mine, so the is probably still an active operation there. The thought of it makes Velo uneasy, both in knowing what happened and knowing what she'll want to do once they're there.

"Thank you, Naeris. I appreciate it. ...There is one other thing, though. Whatever's there, please stop me if I try to destroy it. A part of me wants revenge, but I know, rationally, it's useless. So just... help me stay focused. I don't want go get carried away and cause another revolution with a body count."

Revenge.

Ooooooh boy, she can understand the allure of revenge. She's fallen to it once or twice even before her little stint in Drodon—the one that undoubtedly landed the Lliirans into even more trouble all because she couldn't hold back the unbridled rage that came with injustice and the homicide of those she'd called family. A reaction that didn't even bring that family back, let alone the one person she wanted to return the most.

It left her in a pit of guilt so deep and dark that she simply couldn't talk about it to anyone, except a couple of party members. The same pit that she wouldn't want anyone else to experience.

So Naeris is solemn in her resolve as she nods.

"Okay. I'll help keep you on track. Promise."
