Then they are sorely mistaken.

[Thrawn too is proud, but he allows Aerith to calm him down from his cold demeanor. He's been disappointed too many times by the people who profess to want to work, to provide, to help, only to discover their declarations are less genuine than he'd hoped.

It would help if he stopped coming at these things like a military officer but we can't have everything]

Very well.

[planetdialup]

They may be mistaken...but ensuring cooperation is something we have to work on slowly together.

[Not everyone is military Thrawn jeez.]

You can also visit whenever you like Thrawn. We don't have to talk.

[artistinexile]

I am aware, thank you.

I enjoy our talks.

[however brief and stilted they may be due to someone's negligible small talk skills]

[planetdialup]

I enjoy our talks too.

[Even if she worries what Thrawn may or may not have done sometimes...]

Let me know when you'd like to visit- or explore in the Enclosure.

I haven't forgotten.

[artistinexile]

Whenever is convenient for you.

[planetdialup]

Hmm...give me a day or two.

I think I should make it extra challenging, to make it more...fun? More...stimulating?

[artistinexile]

Should I ask my warden for my battle uniform?

[planetdialup]

[Oh no.]

Would your battle uniform save you from high impact falls?

[artistinexile]

It will save me from one fall. The material is brittle; high-impact damage absorption but at a cost.

[planetdialup]

In that case, it might be a better idea for me to cast a barrier spell on you.

It can reduce the damage without the possibility of brittle armor piercing your insides. That'd be messy.

[artistinexile]

Will it interfere with my physical abilities?

[planetdialup]

Not at all.

Only harm reduction.

[artistinexile]

Either you have very little faith in my abilities or this course of yours is exceptionally difficult.

[planetdialup]

Well...I am planning it extra difficult.

Because I'd hate for it to be too easy for you.

[artistinexile]

You understand that in order to encourage future growth, one usually begins with an easy task and works up the ladder to a failure point?

[planetdialup]

Did you want me to?

Or we could do a test to see what your baseline is.

[artistinexile]

What do you think?

[planetdialup]

Test for the baseline, then up the ante to make it the right baseline for a decent challenge?

Because if we do it over and over, we'll only test your stamina, not your skill.

[artistinexile]

An acceptable proposal. Yes.

[planetdialup]

All right. Two days.

You can bring anyone else you think might do well for the test. Like Florian or anyone else.

[artistinexile]

Florian would not do well on anything designed to test his physical aptitude.

[planetdialup]

That's why you'll both do different settings after the testing.

If he wants, we can teach him.

[artistinexile]

Very well. As you requested, I will bring him.

[let Florian feel some discomfort after subjecting Thrawn to social engagements]

[planetdialup]

Thanks Thrawn. If you want to bring anyone else, feel free.

[Poor Florian. She'll try to take it easy on him.]

[artistinexile]

I would not wish to overwhelm you.
