I just wanted to apologize if my behavior this past week might have offended you. I know the experiment caused me to behave in ways I wouldn't normally.

Tear told me that you're very skilled with machinery and technology. If that's the case, I need your help.

...Are you going to be alright?

...How often do these 'drafts' happen?

[Awkward times, dead ahead. Tear isn't very sure of what to say to that, considering part of it was her fault as well. Then again, it was an experiment... No, she had to accept responsibility for this as well, there was no reason why Asbel should be the only one trying to make amends.]

I... apologize as well, Asbel. I hope... [Ugh, she doesn't even know what she's saying.

[drawnbythesword]

[She trailed off... Was something wrong?]

...What do you hope?

[seleniahymn]

That... it won't come between us. [Even if they didn't know each other until the experiment, Asbel was a nice man. They probably would have met eventually anyway, but trying to get past this episode would take some time.]

[drawnbythesword]

Well... if you'll let me... I'd still like to be friends, at the least. I wouldn't want for our future to be soured just because of an experiment.

[seleniahymn]

... I'd like that, too. [It's almost relieving to hear him say that.]

[drawnbythesword]

Thank you, Tear. That's a relief to hear. [She's not the only one, clearly.]

[seleniahymn]

Thank you as well, Asbel. For a second chance. [It's unfortunate that her relief is only fleeting, now that she remembers the question he addressed to everyone. She saw his name on that list, and echoes of those feelings from the previous week still passed by on occasion.]

Will you be all right, going to the draft...?

[drawnbythesword]

Yeah... I'll be fine. It's not my first time in war, at least.

[seleniahymn]

[Experienced.. that was good to hear, at the very least he wasn't being thrown into something he wasn't prepared for.] If you say you'll be fine, I'll believe you... What will you be doing there?

[drawnbythesword]

Fighting on the frontlines, most likely. I'll go where my skills are needed.

[seleniahymn]

As long as you don't overexert yourself. That would help no one out there.
