. . . I would have appreciated such guidance.

[really. which she's a bit embarrassed to admit, but her upbringing is often far more sheltered than she realizes at times]

Perhaps it is. But I suppose force doesn't always help those who need the assistance.

[see: Stan. who apparently doesn't respond well to force at all]

[Time for her first 'big sister' advice then!]

Find someone whose strengths are your weaknesses. Partnering up to tackle difficult situations is a very strong method.

[fallbymyhands]

Yes. That is why working in teams is preferable, isn't it? So that everyone's weaknesses may be covered by someone else's strength.

[she will treasure this advice, Red!1]

[backspacing]

Exactly. That is why I had a bodyguard in the first place: my songs were quite powerful and moving, but I was not so adept at protecting myself physically. Blue handled things like that for me.

[fallbymyhands]

You? Not so adept physically? That's rather difficult for me to imagine now.

[after hearing about what Red did to protect them from the hunters, she means]

[backspacing]

I used to be a singer and songwriter, you know. There isn't much use for physical strength when you're singing.

[She definitely has some muscles now though. She's picked up a few skills.]

Unfortunately, the end of the world doesn't particularly care what your profession is.

[fallbymyhands]

[a weak laugh]

You're right; it doesn't. I suppose that's when you learned how to defend yourself?

[backspacing]

[She nods.]

Fortunately I'm a quick learner.

[fallbymyhands]

An admirable skill to have. Do you fight with a sword?
