[sageguidance]

If you insist.
Anyroad, no, not really. I find it usually tends to make matters worse.

[guestservices]

sort of sounds as though more people could stand to feel the same

[sageguidance]

I don't know. It is difficult to say how one should feel in times like these.
Despair is a difficult obstacle to overcome.

[guestservices]

how do you usually handle despair alphinaud?
if not optimism, that is

[sageguidance]

Hope is a broad word, but no less true.
But I think of those who have stood by my side, even in my worst of moments, of my friends and comrades who have yet to give up when the future seems bleak.
I am fortunate in that regard, however, to have what I do.

[guestservices]

sounds like what you have is a very good support system

[sageguidance]

[ well, ]

Yes, to put it simply, I suppose that is it.
There is much we have faced as one, and it would not do for me to give up. Not here, or anywhere.

[guestservices]

thats the spirit
im sure the people waiting for you would be proud
if you can keep that up for the duration of your stay

[sageguidance]

Well, there will be at least one person quite cross with me if I don't.

[guestservices]

your hostage i assume
or someone else?

[sageguidance]

No, that is correct.
Though I rather mislike to use "my hostage", regardless of how true it is.

[guestservices]

your sister then
twins? if i remember right

[sageguidance]

Do you know her?

[guestservices]

cant say i do
but weve got files on you guys so were a little familiar with this sort of stuff

[sageguidance]

I suppose so, but that is more detailed than I would have expected.
You are correct. She is my twin sister.

[guestservices]

id be curious to know how you expect us to do our jobs without knowing at least the basics about you guys haha
but makes sense
family seems very important

[sageguidance]

Truth be told, I am surprised there is as much work to be done as you claim.
Not that I mean to diminish your efforts, but I cannot imagine we're that demanding of a group.

[guestservices]

its not so much that its demanding
its that theres like 4 times as many of you as there are of us
so we kind of have to be in the loop to divide and conquer or whatever

[sageguidance]

Perhaps so. I will not claim to understand how these operations work.
You are, at least, being properly compensated for it?

[guestservices]

were fine
a lot of you seem really concerned about the payment?

[sageguidance]

It comes from curiosity, I assure you.
And the slight puzzlement that comes from discovering that this is, evidently, a job one could have at all.
Had you any idea what it entailed when you took it on?

[guestservices]

youve never had a job where your duties changed the longer you were employed?
its not really unusual

[sageguidance]

[ i'm TOO RICH to have a REAL JOB, sir/madam ]

Mine have typically remained consistent, but I do not think my line of work is comparable to yours.

[guestservices]

what exactly does your line of work do though?

[sageguidance]

To put it simply, we assist the leaders of the various nations throughout Eorzea and our allies beyond, be it matters of diplomacy or acting as fellow soldiers in war.
