[ Blade remembers stepping into the observatory and seeing G'raha initially so caught up in his work. But he knew what working to distract oneself looked like...

And okay, admittedly, he wasn't the person in Stellaron Hunters to get people to be happy or motivated. But, he doesn't need to be anything different.

He thinks...he just needs to be himself. ]

Not surprised even yours was down.

[ Even so, he says this. G'raha's tough spirit is what helped him truck along, probably. ]

...I'm not good at convincing anyone of anything. At best, I'm a weapon.

But, I've done intelligence gathering on orders before. Maybe, if I focus my efforts there and spread what I learn, that can convince others, and they would be able to move on to their own plans from there. [ He huffs. ] Sounds naive, but it's the best plan I have.

And I'm no strategist, either.

[ Blade looks at G'raha as he says this. Ironically, he supposes it's a loose plan. Empowering people to take action with knowledge; maybe in the end, someone can come up with a solution that helps them do something. It...might be enough to circle around to helping in breaking the cycle, but he's still not the type to say hope springs eternal. ]
