A few days into the Jaunt

[heartofmetal]

So, this is my first time in a situation like this so I wanted to ask some advice.

How do you cope when the most important person in your life is an infiltrator? Do you try to keep an eye on them or leave then be?

It depends on the overlay, really.

Both the people I would've fallen back on the plan stuff with were infiltrating, my first jaunt. One of them would've thought it was weird if I stuck around too much, so I kept an eye out for him where I could but mostly let him go and do his own thing. The other ended up needing a lot of help with a project, so I did that.

If there's a plausible reason to keep an eye on them, there's nothing saying you can't do that. Just be careful you don't end up stalking them or something - it might get you into more trouble than it's worth.

You make a good point. I suppose I'll observe her from afar first and then make a judgement based on what her personality is like and what she does.

I guess it's not very uncommon to end up on different sides with someone, even if you end up in the same Jaunt.

Now that I think about it, Naoto and I haven't even investigated the same thing once. So no, not uncommon at all.

Winry has been with me for two of these now. There were no infiltrators in Belljar, so this is a first we've had a chance to... hopefully it's not an example of what's to come.

Don't overthink it. What happens happens, and you'll at least have the chance to regroup after the jaunt.

[Assuming his friend hasn't disappeared, but there's no sense dragging that downer note into things.]

[heartofmetal]

Yeah, that's true. Besides, we both knew this would happen at some point.
