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?

I follow them as best I can and make sure to keep them safe, to the best of my ability. Past that... to put it simply, I don't cope. How can one cope?

[Leo believes there are two types of Travelers: those who struggle to protect the infiltrators they love, and those who are lying.]

That sounds like something I was planning on doing. I definitely don't intend to get involved with her infiltrator life too much, but I was to make sure she's okay.

[It would be hard to not constantly talk with the Winry's overlay, but he needed to keep his distance. Just in case.]

Yeah, I don't think I can really cope with this... but I need to live with it until the Jaunt is over.

In case she spots you... you should have a contingency plan. In the event she thinks you're stalking her, or does come to speak with you... be prepared. I know from many past experiences that it will hurt.

[He pauses, just enough to collect his thoughts and add:]

If you need help... if you need someone to talk to... I would be happy to listen.

I already ... met her once. When I arrived to this Jaunt. I managed to somehow fake that I'm a very lost, at least technology-wise, in this city, but I think she didn't think I'm too suspicious.

[Damn smart phones and tablets and whatever.]

Thank you. I will... keep that in mind, definitely.

[howexciting]

That is good, at least. I assume she was physically well?

It is no trouble, truly. I... only wish to help.

[heartofmetal]

Yes. She's working as a weapons mechanic and seems to be living a rather normal life, too. So I doubt she'll get into too much trouble... but I can't help but worry.

That's something I hope every Traveler feels like they need to do. We need to be there for one another.
