Then there will be a day you come to regret that naivety.
Those who cannot rely on themselves will never survive.
[ zodion is something of a paradise where nothing seems to perish. with only the return of worship, the gods provide all a human could need or want. but frühling would wish for the girl to remember the land their cruise took them to, the abandon, the sparsity, the decay. death, betrayal, neglect—suffering any of these, oneself is the only dependable source.

[Had she the ability to read minds, it isn't like Maya would react with shock that she'd forgotten that other continent, its people and its state, at all; she hasn't, and in fact she might be said to be one of the residents here who thinks on them most often. Nor does she feel her trust in others necessitates the conclusion she doesn't rely on herself, see her own self as a very dependable resource... Right now, though, it's easiest just to address this next question. She does wonder where Frühling is going with it.]
[Why would it be? She guesses sometimes she feels tired and slow if she overuses her powers too much, but that's not really what the other is referring to, is it?]
Balance is a universal law. There are always prices to pay. Because these abilities don't exist in my world, I'm merely curious about the specifics of it. I found out from another magic-user that his abilities are fuelled by his life force. I wished to know if your healing powers required the same.
It's because one person can be so vulnerable, isn't it?
[Or at least... this is sort of what she thinks Frühling is trying to say, with her entire sidetrack about the healing. Maybe?]
To be a healer implies you heal others. You use your own power to help other people, and if you use enough of it, you get weaker. Which is "foolish", because you're compromising part of yourself for others.
[ asking if she'll truly speak to them would be showing concern, which she has nothing of, but on the terms of their agreement, shouldn't she continue their conversation? ...frühling isn't sure how.

In tangent. But if you wish to move on, then I must conclude that your willingness to trust your life to anyone but yourself is foolish.

frühling made it a point to be that person rather the one subjected to it. ]
In summary, yes. Is another truly worth risking your life?

In the absence of knowing anything else, I'm going to believe in just the goodness of people.

[ that much she'll give. but now to circle back to where they started. ]
Are men all you really wanted to talk about with me? There's no one else I can mention.
{text}
Yeah. It kind of was. That's okay, the ones you did mention sound pretty interesting.
