It's only natural to worry about younger people. I know I worry about my younger comrades a lot. Hmmm... though, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how much there is to worry about while we're here, aside from Acumen being a bit of a prude. [ Gaunt smiles again. ] People seem to more or less get along here, and there don't appear to be any wars or external conflicts that affect us in any way.
[ Gaunt notes her sad gesture, and does his best to look sympathetic, which was probably a lot easier before all his skin was grafted and re-sutured back into place. ]
That's a very responsible way to look at it, though, watching over people here. I try to do that too, which is why I joined the Defense force. [ That and it's better than being bored. ]
