Hey Soldat. If you're, like, busy and stuff you don't have to get back to me ASAP.

I heard what you and the others did for us while we were asleep. I wanted to check up on you and see if you were doing okay. Also to say thank you for protecting us. It means a lot.

[That's kind of unexpected. The Soldier takes a few minutes to respond, half out of surprise and half out of lingering sleepiness. But it's only a few minutes, that's not that bad.]

You're welcome. I'm fine just tired.

[That's what most people are saying, right? It seems like an appropriate reply. Then comes their own standard response:]

Are you okay

[ after a few minutes of hesitation, daylight manages to send a response that he thinks is the truth: ]

Not now but I'm gonna try to be okay.

[ he sends another text soon after, perhaps wanting to change the subject from where he accidentally left it off. ]

I learned a lot of weird stuff while I was in that weird food coma with the others. Way too much stuff in my opinion but stuff all the same. And after waking up and talking to others about it, it made me realise something else.

Soldat- Did you notice that some of the spirits were eating during the feast?

Tell me if I can help.

[Even sleepy, maybe there's something they can do. The second text takes longer to reply to. (Look, they sat down to reply. That logically led to dozing off a few minutes.) But it does get a reply.]

Yes I saw. They fell asleep too. We didn't bring them inside like the others. The attackers didn't hurt them.

That's good to hear.

[ the spirits not getting attacked. he knows most of the spirits just want to live in peace and get by- the idea of them getting hurt in the process really upsets day.

okay- but- focus, day, come on. ] Are you up for talking with the spirits soon? I want to know what they know in the wake of what happened. If they dreamed. If this happened before with the others before us. Stuff like that.

Because, in a lot of ways, it feels like they hold the key now.

They probably do. I'm not awake enough right now. Give me a day or two.

[Even if there's no problem at all, they aren't sure they could focus enough to really hold a conversation. As evidenced by how long these messages are taking to type out.]

I need to check on my friend in the woods too. Couldn't find them during the attacks.

[ still working under the very wrong presumption that the tablets have a limited amount of messages one can send per day, like the way the comm. systems worked on the lornful light, day is pretty patient when it comes to getting back a message. gotta make those characters worth it...! ]

Sure! I'll let you know when we can get going. I was thinking of doing this on the 9th, so we have lots of time to prepare and stuff.

And I hope your friend is okay. If you want, we can check on them first before we go to the place I want to go exploring. [ friends first, in daylight's opinion. it's the connections and ties of. ]

I hope they're okay too. I haven't brought anyone else with me before. They might not come if I did.

[If they're even okay. The Soldier is trying not to think of alternatives to that.]

After that I will go with you. okay?

... You sure?

You can think about it a bit longer if you want. Because... Because there's something I really want to do and it might be a point of contention for others if they learn about it.

-I can't tell you now. [ the 'sorry' is unsaid but made evident by daylight's apologetic attitude. ] But I'll make it known to you and others. Soon.

Just... trust me on this? Please?

[Eh. The Soldier is used to not getting all the intel they want on a mission.]

I'll go with you. I will keep you safe if I can, Daylight. It's what I'm made for.
