Jessie needs a Magitek Knight for her plan with the Ultima Weapon. And Marshal Nevada needs to direct the police forces I think. If I get hurt then we won't have anyone to pilot it if we can gain control of it.

[He doesn't elaborate, nor does he press Minako on her own safety. He gives her a firm and encouraging nod, a thanks for her own encouraging words. They just have to keep their focus and hopefully things will fall out the way they hope they will.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

So basically if you don't keep yourself safe that plot will ultimately go down the tube. That is something we can't afford to do. If you need someone to look out for you, just let me know and I'll be there.

[She might as well offer to help anyway.]

[neverfirstclass]

Thanks. I'll let you know if I need your help.

[Cloud has a feeling that things will mostly wind up being played by ear though.]

And if you need a sword or shield I'll try to lend a hand too.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She gives a small nod for a moment.]

I'll make a note to remember that, though we don't have shields here... I wonder why that is the case? Or we do and it's for certain jobs.

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud nods at the shield on the table, leaning against his armor.]

If you use the paladin job you should be able to use one well. Warrior too. It's strange that these things don't just give you skills but limit you in ones you knew before you came here. I guess it all works out in the end though.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Oh, I have warrior...Didn't think to get a shield.

[Nor did she ever ask if she could, she made a note to try and do that for next time. But right now they had other things to do than silly things.]

Limit? In what way?

[Just going to pretend she was just a normal girl back home. That's all good.]

[neverfirstclass]

There's lots of weapons a warrior can be good with. Give it a try sometime. [Not thinking or knowing to ask something is always the worst.]

Back home I was in the army. When I got here I suddenly couldn't use a rifle anymore. Well, not as well as I had been. This place started me as a black mage.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

I will do.

[She smiled and nodded slightly. She figured that they were at least moving onto another subject.]

Wow, just suddenly forgetting how to use something that you might have been use to. Wonder how exactly that works. Just seems odd really.

[neverfirstclass]

Yeah, it's weird. I really should ask Jessie about it when I get a chance.

[Cloud had a feeling that there was someone else he could ask about all of this but Kalki was not exactly the most approachable for questions. Not to mention their enemy, at least as far as things were falling out.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She nodded slightly, although she had to admit she had not a single clue as to who Jessie was exactly. She hadn't met any of them since she arrived, but she will play along at least.]

Sounds like a good plan for when this is all over.

[On that note, she figured she should consider actually going off somewhere. After all there are things to do most likely.]

I should go explore a bit more. Get ready for it, you know. But it was nice talking to someone I'll be helping in the future.
