[Inside the border, once he's realized he can't do any more around the edge, he actually writes.]

If I am understanding the situation correctly, the afflicted are unable to contact us.

I am willing to publicly offer, then, that the Antoinette is at sea starting today, and we are offering a safe haven for any non-combatants whose ship is going to the fortress, once we are called to battle. We are willing to offer room and board to any who require it in this trying time.

If there are those who would use this information to cause us harm, let me be clear: we make this offer in good faith, but you will be watched once among us. I am willing to take drastic measures should you attempt to harm anyone on board.

[She silently moves to kneel down beside him, picking up a knife to carve into the wood too.]

Maybe you have a point.

[Her help is unexpected, but not unappreciated. He may be developing a bit of a blush from the close proximity, but he's pretty focused on scratching in a chibi Mori-senpai next to Hani. He's still in a little bit of a sulk as well, so he'll be continuing on in silence for a minute or two.]

[She glances at him after a long pause, scrutinizing his features.] Is something bothering you? [Aside from the obvious (i.e. their surroundings etc.).]
