"My arm and leg was blown off as I tried to kill the man that had been a father to me my whole life. I burned my flesh to ashes until I could barely move. My blade knocked from my hand into the mud away from me. It was something for me to cling to through the pain. Like if I could keep ahold of my blade then I could keep fighting."
Obviously, they won the fight.
"That time I fought until I was too weak to pull my body toward my blade again, and I had nothing left to summon. Darkness enveloped me and I woke up days later here."

Awkward silence is awkward. She hadn't thought that one through, obviously. It redirected Bailey's focus back on her partner as he revealed some of the details of the fight against his Elder. The man he had considered a father his whole life. She shifted slightly despite his hold on her.
"I'm glad you woke up again."

"Because you need to be there for your people?" It was half question, half observation.

He nodded. That was the long and short of it. They still needed him.

The smil ereturned. Warrior or Elder, that part of him remained the same. He was still Blake.
"I think they're in good hands with you."

She nodded.
"I came here to learn control, to learn new things that could help us thrive." Technology tended to be at its peak in larger territories like 259. Usually. "I feel like I have more to learn before I can go back." She hesitated, body tensing as her tone dropped.
"Sometimes I wonder if they didn't have me sent here to be one less problem to take care of."

"You said it yourself that I was weak." Among other things. Her arms folded across tehmselves as she half buried her face in them for a moment.
"I didn't even know how to hold a weapon properly. Our focus was elsewhere. Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't just sent here to learn control, but so we'd have someone else learn how to fight, one way or another."

"Creating one soldier is a poor way to build an army."
As in, if they sent her here to learn weapons it was an inefficient use of resources. Especially given their circumstances from what he knew of them.

"Mmm, more like letting it be someone else's task if I learned instead of 'army of one.'" It didn't change the fact that sometimes she felt like she was left to Cabal to pick up the slack.

"Perhaps."
He didn't know her people or how they did things.
