[The young of perhaps 10 or 11 has a large salamander, roughly the size of an iguana, perched on her shoulder when she flips on the video feed.

Although the most striking feature of hers is those pale eyes of hers.]

Hello.

[There's a polite bow of her head before she continues.]

My name is Hanabi Hyuuga. I was thinking about everything that happened recently, with the Forest of the Felled, Celliwig and Lestari.

[Hard not to, when Camelot is filled with survivors of those very attacks.]

I think one way we could work to avoid things like that happening in the future would be for more of us to get used to working with each other. On quests, and just training together would be good, too. Then we'd be able to plan better, because we'd know how to work together and what each other could do.

[She's not sure of how this will go over, but it doesn't hurt to try.]

So...um. I'll work with anyone who wants to go on quests, or train together. Thank you for your time.

A good suggestion. One would hope that their presence would prove unnecessary, but the occasional accident during training is virtually unavoidable.

[ Especially when one considers how many outworlders have precious little combat experience - or none at all. ]

Plus, healers should be taught how to defend themselves, too. Otherwise, a smart enemy would target them once they realized who had healing magic.

[It's not a pleasant thought, but it's something that bears mentioning.]

[ And, once again, Mitsuru finds herself nodding along. ]

Of course. They're among the most tactically significant targets, failing to offer them adequate preparation and protection would be a grievous oversight.

[ She's quiet for a moment, considering the girl on the other end. ]

I must admit, Hanabi, I'm impressed by your insightfulness. You've clearly thought through this in great detail.

[ Young as she is, it's obvious that Hanabi isn't a stranger to approaching a problem strategically. She's confident in her assessment as well ... Mitsuru's curious whether that comes from schooling, experience, or some combination of the two. ]

Thank you. I'm going to be the head of my clan one day and I'm hoping to have students of my own sometime before then, so I try to think about things and plan carefully.

[kirijo]

[ Ah. That would explain it, wouldn't it?

[ Mitsuru can't help but smile. ]

With the sort of dedication you're displaying, I'm certain that you'll be more than prepared for it when the time comes.

[A small flush comes to Hanabi's cheeks at the praise.]

Thank you. I try to work hard at it every day.
