When a gentle hand was tended out to her, Clover raised her head. She looked at Schezar's eyes for a second, before her hand hesitantly accepted his. It was a strange, almost familiar feeling. From the time her grandpa had left this world, perhaps this was the closest to his touch she might have experienced. It might be the unique brand of gentleness that both men displayed, even if they were still very different.
Schezar continued sharing his words, his personal tale with her. He mentioned comrades, as well as his wish to protect people from Eorzea-- more so those who couldn't fight on their own, but who still could bring some good into this word.
"My parents were soldiers during their youth," she explained, her tone serious, calm as usually. "I've been considering to take a similar path and join the Twin Adders. Living everyday is not enough; I want to be of real help."
Then, another thought, a darker one crossed her mind as she remained silent for a few more seconds. The real world might even be harsher than what some tales made it be, but she didn't want to ask, no matter how much her mind would betray her in front of Schezar. War was no game, and perhaps the loss this man'd had to experience and witness was nothing to take lightly. Clover knew how much joining any sort of military ranks scared her; it wasn't as easy as simply saying she wanted to do it.
All the horrors her parents and Schezar had witnessed in Cartenau... all those horrors...
"..."
As if trying to conceal her thoughts from him for his own sake, she looked away from the man, hiding her eyes from his view.
"Any help should be welcome, shouldn't it? This world is still at the edge of war."
