No one can, but people can still take care of you. There are lots of homes with experienced fighters that take in people with little experience. There aren't many there that would enjoy innocent people dying, I promise you.
[His smile is soft as he nods.] Mm. I have been for six months at least. I stopped keeping track...
Well, if they let you, you could cook for them. Help with small projects, or take care of children. Some people don't let you repay them for favors though. It all depends on who is helping you.
But...some people have been for much longer. I think the worst thing about Adstring is never knowing when people will leave. One of my friends had been there for four years, and he left so suddenly a few months ago. I wished I could have known him longer.
[The smile is very suddenly ripped from his face, and he looks taken aback by her question. His eyes look away from her, fingers curling into fists at his sides.]
You wait. And you dream, and cry and hope that tomorrow brings them to you. And that the day after doesn't take them away again.
[ oh no--she didn't mean to bring that sort of reaction out and shakily steps forwards, but stops in place. it doesn't quite matter that Yadomi won't be there, suddenly. ]
[Syaoran stays quiet for a moment, shaking his head.]
You don't need to apologize. [He is very aware that you didn't mean to say anything to upset him. It's just been happening lately.] I've been overly sensitive and that isn't your fault.
Lightning only happens in thunderstorms. It doesn't storm every day, but there are monsters out every day. The chances are higher for everyone, not just me.

Will you walk around afraid of being struck by lightning?
no subject
Being struck by lightning--that sort of thing has a different chance. It's like--one in a billion! Being attacked is much higher.
