Kree, as many other species, believed in the occasional need for rest and relaxation. This was not something Lauri-Ell had a lot of experience in of course. Her duties had not allowed her to take advantage of such methods of relaxation, which did not mean she did not know how to handle this moment of wondrous relaxation. And Gili, declaring it too hot to have both of them working the forge all day long, had sent Lauri-Ell off. And so she had been happy to take this vacation day, so rarely offered, to relax herself.

Which was of course what she was doing right now. Lauri-Ell had set herself a wonderful shelter in for the day too. A big umbrella over a chair, a case with cool drinks and snacks, and, of course, a towel. All of these had been abandoned at her seat, of course, because Lauri-Ell had better things to do. Which was make proper use of her swim suit, Universal Weapon granted of course. For the moment she settled herself in the surf, letting the waves lap over her as she holds a fruity beverage that is decidedly pink, and sips at it.

"Is there any way to enjoy the heat than with cool water? I think not. If I go home, I shall suggest to the Emperor that soldiers are given breaks like this."

"I help the residents here too," Lauri-Ell said. She was part of this community. And it made her smile. She was very proud. "I like learning how to make rather than to destroy."

[orangewayfinder]

"You help too? What do you do?" Terra asked as he let himself sink into the water a little bit. The water was cool but not too cold and he thought about things he might be able to do to help out more.

[kree_soldieress]

"Beyond the blacksmith work, I have been called upon at times to fight things, like a sentient, talking plants that wanted everyone to hate each other."

That was the best she could determine the creature's motive to have been.

[orangewayfinder]

"Talking plants?" Terra asked, moving his head and body back a little in some form of disbelief. Not that he didn't believe Lauri-Ell, it was just hard to imagine.

Talking ducks and all of that were one thing, but plants were another.

[kree_soldieress]

"A single one, I think," she said, unhappy. "It had tried to hurt us, and made people paranoid. It was not good."

Talking ducks was NOT one thing. Talking plants were one thing. Ducks were impossible.

[orangewayfinder]

He shook his head. "So that's not something that's still around right? I mean, people could get hurt."

Like, really hurt.

[kree_soldieress]

"No, we defeated it," Lauri-Ell said with a firm nod. "We were good warriors. We tried talking first, but it failed."

Not that they had tried for long. It had been pointless. It wanted to eat them.

[orangewayfinder]

He nodded and let out a relieved sigh. "So there isn't a chance any more might show up?" Terra was just thinking of the Heartless and Unversed. Those damn things were everywhere and were always in multiples.

[kree_soldieress]

"I do not think so. But I could be wrong," she admits with a shrug. There were many things she was wrong about. It would not surprise her.

[orangewayfinder]

Terra felt himself relax but only just a little. "Well if it's not that, I'm sure something else will come in. At least that's what I've heard."

And he'd be ready.

[kree_soldieress]

"Yes," she said, and she hated how fatalistic she felt about that. "Yes, something will come. So I will keep arming people."

[orangewayfinder]

He smiled. "That's really cool how you do that. Do you think it'd be okay to show me how you create weapons?" And then there was a thought. "Should I pay you so that you don't get in trouble for it?"

[kree_soldieress]

Well now she's beaming.

"I will need to ask Gili's permission, but I can't see that she would deny us it. You can happily watch. And you won't need to pay."

It's just letting someone watch.

[orangewayfinder]

"Great!" Terra replied with a smile on his face. This was something he'd been interested in when he first looked around at all of the things that had been for sale at the forge. While he didn't touch any of it, to think that someone was creating these wonderful things was just the best idea ever.

He still had the daggers for Namine which were hanging on the wall near his bed.

[kree_soldieress]

"We can meet tomorrow," she suggests. It would be fun, to show off the work that she does. Hopefully he will find it properly intriguing.

[orangewayfinder]

"Alright." Terra smiled. "And thanks."

This was going to be a learning experience and he just absolutely couldn't wait.

[kree_soldieress]

She offers a nod and smile, and that's really all she needs.

"Gladly. PErhaps you will even want to join our work!"

[orangewayfinder]

"Uh.." That caught him by surprise.

"You really think I could learn to do what you do?"

[kree_soldieress]

“I learned under Gili. Why should I not believe you could learn too?”

The Kree woman looked very confused. And then she frowned.

“Wait, do you express concern because of religious restrictions for you? If so, I do apologize for not understanding.”

[orangewayfinder]

"I just never worked with metal before." Terra replied. It still opened up a world of new possibilities and if he could learn, then he would be able to assist people in defending themselves or others.

He had a keyblade, but obviously not everyone could wield one of those, since it chose its wielder.

When Lauri-Ell mentioned religious restrictions, Terra's mind boggled. "Huh? Religious..restrictions?"

[kree_soldieress]

“Have you worked with other things?” She asked. The suggestion of his sentence to her was that he was a crafter of some walk, and so she was curious of what sort.

“And yes, some people cannot do things because of religion. Is this not a thing where you are from?”

[orangewayfinder]

He shook his head. "I've only ever worked with one weapon." A wooden keyblade might be considered a different weapon but he didn't see it hat way.

Religion was a new topic to Terra and he considered it a moment. "In my world there's light and darkness."

He wondered if that was somehow a religion.

[kree_soldieress]

Light and darkness? That seems interesting as a bit of a philosophy on life.

“Well, there is much light and darkness in space. But in the end, it is the people that matter to me. And justice.”

[orangewayfinder]

"So in your world Justice is a religion?"

He still don't got it.

[kree_soldieress]

"No," she says, frowning. she doesn't think it is quite the right way to hold it, and she has clearly misled him. Which is her fault of course. "I think it is more that religions are held close to the heart, like justice is to mine."
