[There is context to this, though how much you get might be dependent on how well you know Roxas. But it's been on his mind a lot, especially since last month with it's stormy skies led to him taking a pretty big hit from a harpy. Recovery's been a thing, and it gives you time to think, which maybe isn't the best thing.

Maybe it's just been fair to say that Roxas's confidence has been rocked a little. And maybe he's reached a point where he's ready to ask for help.]

I want to get stronger. How do I do that?

it's usually my friends. I want to protect them.

But they aren't here.

[starshower]

Well, what about the friends that you've made here?

[seasaltkeys]

I mean...yeah, them to.

But I kinda did a bad job of that. Getting injured and all

[starshower]

And I doubt they faulted you for that. You tried, right?

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, of course I did!

I guess I just wonder now if it was enough.

[starshower]

I think so.

You know, for a while, it was hard for me feeling like I couldn't save or protect everyone. We have to take that and live with it. But we also have to remember that sometimes, trying our hardest is all that we can do. I think there's real strength in that, too.

It isn't just about physical strength.

[seasaltkeys]

I guess I haven't really thought it of it like that.

[There's been a lot of focusing on fighting and being strong, and no one really to tell him otherwise.]

[starshower]

I say keep training yourself to be stronger, there's no shame in wanting to be. And if you ever want help with that, whether it's some lessons or some practice, I don't mind putting aside some time. God knows I can get a little rusty after a while.

But don't beat yourself up over this one time. You can also protect your friends in other ways, too.

[seasaltkeys]

[He's trying, he really is.]

Lessons might be nice?

I don't think doing anything alone is gonna get me very far.

[starshower]

How about this? Come by the ship next time you're free, and we can talk about lessons then. Maybe over some milkshakes? And if we've got the time, you can show me what you already know.

[seasaltkeys]

Sure! I'll let you know when i'm on my way!

Thanks Tifa.

🎀?

[starshower]

No problem. Whatever you need, just give a shout, okay? And I'll be here. :)

to the next thread

[seasaltkeys]

Sure.

Thanks Tifa.
