what if we just
got a big boat and sailed across the horizon
what do you think wed find there

weve been on this island for so long
just this tiny little island
there has to be more than wyver and olympia right?
this world is a big planet

if wyver and olympia are having problems
why dont we just try to leave?

Well, that depends on whether it is a permanent go-ing, or just an exploration. I wouldn't blame them exactly, but I think I might have something to say about it if a fair chunk of our population simply upped sticks and left!

This is good to know. I haven't seen or heard much from you since Valentin...

[and doesn't that feel like a lifetime ago...?]

It comes much belated, but thank you, for all of your work.

[ayes]

ive been a little quiet since then
but thanks
it was pretty fun wasnt it

and idk i dont think wed stay wherever we found at least not at first
gotta come back and tell everyone what there is, right?

[inaurare]

It was a lovely evening, yes, and very kind of you to organise.

What is idk?

[ayes]

i dont know

I'm sorry.

[inaurare]

I understand.

[he doesn't. Why say it, then?]

When you find out, will you tell me?

[ayes]

what

no, thats what it means
it means i dont know
"i d k"
i dont know

[inaurare]

Oh.

[excuse him a moment scrolling up to check over the comment in question with his newly-acquired vocabulary. It... has absolutely no bearing on the sentence at all...]

Well, it would be good indeed if the sailing party could come back and tell us what they had found.

[ayes]

well yeah thats the idea right i wonder what the range is on the network we might not even have to come back really

[inaurare]

Perhaps. But it would be good, still, to see you safe.

[ayes]

do you think that we can get to the station from somewhere else? maybe we should ask the natha that'd make it a lot easier if we could just come and go

[inaurare]

Maybe? I'm not sure how it works.

And we have seen that it isn't always... stable.

[ayes]

ok yeah thats true
but they have spaceships and stuff so thatd be easier

and they probably wont get shot down

[inaurare]

I suppose there is no harm in asking.

It might be worth being cautious with the technology - but perhaps that is just me.

[he knows it works. Is he entirely trusting of it? No.]

[ayes]

well like i said we can always just use the boat
but thatd make it way easier and quicker to go back and forth

[inaurare]

It would be important to be sure you can come and go by traditional means, too. Perhaps there are ways to set up a more permanent means of transportation? Like a ferry, if it isn't too far?

[ayes]

i think were getting a little ahead of ourselves
it depends whats out there
and how far away

[inaurare]

I'm not totally against the whole idea. But it is in my nature to be cautious - I was trying to be... less so.

As you say, you would want to look at making it easier to get there and back, right?

[ayes]

eventually yea maybe thats by ship or maybe the orbiters could idk do something

[inaurare]

There is no harm raising it, I’m sure. And it may certainly be possible to call on the talents of others.

[ayes]

i hope so
its a big world

we should see whats out there past the fog

[inaurare]

It is, but it is still bigger than what I was used to.

I only saw a small part of my own country, never mind even leaving its borders.

[ayes]

really?
do you not like to travel?

[inaurare]

I have never travelled.

[...how to put this?]

I wasn't able to.

[ayes]

ohh really

why not?
was it too expensive?

[inaurare]

Partially.

[they could go with that, but a half-truth still feels like a lie]

I wasn't allowed to, either.
