15. empty sirens

The Police Force seems like it's in real trouble right now, with such a lack of people enlisting in it. Maybe I should force suggest to Huey that he enlist as a junior officer... if they have junior officers. That might be a good experience for him growing up

Isn't Huey-kun a little young for that?

[sword_boy]

Maybe, but it would be a good experience. He keeps saying he's well-trained, and wants to be trained even better. I don't see why he shouldn't be able to do something like that.

[revengeisalie]

Still, the police deals with really dangerous individuals.

[sword_boy]

Huey claims that he can defend himself. I don't him being put in some sort of harsh patrol like in the Underground, but somewhere simple like the main plaza where nothing is likely to happen.

I want to help him to continue to develop this ability to defend himself, and sometimes being put in the front line is the way to go. Here and his world aren't bound by the perils of war. My world is...

[revengeisalie]

I don't know... he's very mature for his age, but he's ten. With all due respect, does he really know what he's in for?

[sword_boy]

Who knows... but after that awful curse where he got killed shortly, I just want to make sure he can defend himself.

...I don't like the fact that something from my world, is the reason he died that day. I just want him able to protect himself, especially if I suddenly leave tomorrow.

[revengeisalie]

What, it was something from your world? I didn't know that... that must be especially hard on you.

I suppose there is something to be said for learning by doing.

[sword_boy]

Yes. Awhile afterward, Huey identified it as a Worm.

He thinks he can fight to protect himself, but if he can't last against something that I fight on a regular basis...

I just want everyone safe.

[revengeisalie]

Oh wow, I never even...

I do understand you, and I can't say it's entirely unwarranted, either.
