Whatever must be done.

[Blair regards the boy with a faint look of sadness for a moment. Many have been lost to the Calamity, including people Blair considered allies, if not friends. If they did not do something soon... No, best not to think about that now. She tries her best to put on a gentle voice as she regards him.]

Thirty days is not a lot of time, no. But even so, we can make the best of it by doing what we know we are able to do. It won't be easy, but... it's not over.

[He sighs, shaking his head.]

The problem is, the more I think about 'what must be done' the more I suspect we'll be looking for ways to simply cut our losses.

[He's smart enough to know they aren't winning this. It's all going to be about whether they an contain the calamity. To spare other worlds this fate.]

[uninstaller]

Yes. ... That may be so. Nevertheless, we gain nothing if we invest nothing.

[He was perceptive. Almost unfortunately so. But situations the way it is, Blair isn't surprised but part of her still wished children didn't have to be involved in this. ... Then again, this world hardly cared who or what it claimed now, did it?

Still, her tone remains gentle as she continues. Having spent countless nights with little sleep going over any potential option available to them, Blair did appreciate some time away from her work to discuss things.]

Sometimes what might the best decision available to us may very well be the most difficult ones to make. [Briefly, her smile fades.] It's just as possible one of us may one day have to face that choice. It could be either "right" or "wrong" depending on how you look at it.

[shallow_cleverness]

I already know all that.

[His tone is almost petulant. It's getting hard to maintain a mature attitude. But maybe he can complain just a little bit. He doesn't think Blair will give him a hard time about it, anyway.]

I just.... I always believed that if I was clever enough, I could find a way to overcome anything. I'm not used to feeling so.... helpless.

[uninstaller]

I'm glad to hear that.

[She chuckles at that response, although her weariness has likely already rang clear at that point. It was good to see he at least still remembered. Compared to her, when she was finding herself in a difficult predicament. An option that not everyone was going to be happy with.]

It would be easier that way, wouldn't it? Although, it's not always as simple as it seems. Even the solution you happen across may... not be what you're hoping for. [She smiles once more.] ... It's all right to feel that way. It's all right to feel lost.

[shallow_cleverness]

[His pout finally gives way to a smile. So it's okay to feel lost? Well, he sort of knew that already but...]

Thanks. I think I needed to hear that.

[He looks back up at the map.]

And as long as we still have time, even a little bit of time, I'll keep trying to find my way.
