[Sai hasn't entirely worked out how to use this whole magic jewelry network thing yet, but the thought-typing is relatively straightforward enough. So:]

is it truly wise to be rescuing the qorral ?
should a significant number of them perish, it will be far easier to complete our secondary mission of stopping the mining efforts

it's u

😉

[daimeinashi]

[Okay you know what, this is getting ridiculous.]

if you have something to say to me, please state it clearly

[moneyballer]

I do actually.

[Asher isn't entirely sure how to approach this, as he feels that it would be better to speak about such things in person.

But maybe this guy doesn't want to be seen. After all, his opinions are pretty unpopular.]

Let's start with this- Why do you think their lives aren't important?

Honestly bro, that's kind of fucked up.

[daimeinashi]

[Ah, he's another one. Someone else who's angry. Honestly, these conversations are getting tiresome. How is he supposed to answer that question, anyway? Saying why implies he had a reason--implies he'd even given them more thought than one gives a fly that's fallen into water.]

it will perhaps be more productive if you were to say why their lives are important to you
any answer i could offer you would be misleading
i do not find their lives important or unimportant
i had not thought particularly about their lives at all
i would not go out of my way to kill them should they survive this earthquake
it is merely that I do not see the purpose of endangering ourselves to protect them, when we are currently at cross purposes where the mining is concerned

[moneyballer]

[Wow, that's a lot to process.

Something about Sai's explanation immediately makes him uncomfortable. Emotions are hard to read through text, but this one seems to have very little if any at all in it.]

Um...

I guess their lives are important to me because I care about what happens to them?

[And now that he thinks about it, he doesn't really know why. Just that he does, and very deeply as well.]

And if I was in their situation, I'd want someone to do the same for me.

Try and help me out, I mean.

[daimeinashi]

but why? they are not your friends

[which he understands, in very vague terms, is an exception to the rule of practicality]

i would not consider anyone obligated to provide assistance, were i to find myself in such a situation

i would certainly not expect it of anyone unconnected by formal alliance or friendship

[moneyballer]

Yeah, that's the thing.

I'm weird, I guess...?

I know most people in my world say life is precious but for some reason I really... Feel it?

Like, a lot. It's kind of hard to explain.

[daimeinashi]

[Sai stares at this message like the magitek failed to translate it into Narutoese Japanese for him. What Asher's saying is so far outside his range of experience that it might as well be gibberish to him.]

everything that lives must die
no animal, humans included, can live without harming something else that lives, even simply to survive
an attempt to preserve the life of everything around you for as long as possible will only shorten your own
are you prepared to risk your life and your friends' lives to protect those you have no affiliation to?
who may yet stand against us in our attempts to stop the mining?
