[RangerCado]

Selina is kinda surprised by how shy Bismuth seemed to be at the moment.

"Um... a-anything else you n-need or... or want...?" Selina smiled warmly back.

[Twi]

Bismuth blushes.

"Um...n-no.."

As a consolation prize, Marie gets cookies.

Because Elf does not usually try to use bullshit.

[Empiricist]

<To hazard a guess and likely your condescension, I would say that it is little more than a matter of opinion. What we perceive as reality is little more than our opinion of it, with all the possibility of it being little more than a delusion or a butterfly dream. After all, insanity and delusion alike are retroactive, as one cannot know that one is thus whilst they perceive it to be the truth. Likewise, the ship is subject to thus as well, if I were to firmly believe a specific subbranch of string theory, I would attest that the ship is the same, as everything consists of a single particle weaving through space and time. Conversely, if I had an adamant view that the individual is little more than the sum of their components, I would declare that the ship is different for the components have changed.>

[RangerCado]

Selina looks a bit surprised.

"A-are you okay...? D-d-do you have a... a fever...?" Selina looks worried and confused now.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

A warm feeling of appreciation and elation can be felt by Cyrielle from Abraxas.
>....an excellent interpretation, Miss Taylor. I must truly applaud you.<

[Twi]

Marie is okay with this. She noms the cookies.

"I'm fine! I think..."

Bismuth blushes brighter and shakes her head in confusion.

[Empiricist]

<Why thank you, is this where you then say 'but you're still wrong.'?~>

[RangerCado]

"Y-your sure...?" Selina puts her hand on Bismuth's forehead, checking her temperature.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>No. I left the question open-ended to see what answers humanity could offer. There is no right or wrong answer to the question, but yours was laudable, and certainly as interesting as those of ancient philosophers.<

[Twi]

No fever. Given she's made of metal, this is not terribly surprising.

"I... Something's on the edge of my mind, something important, but I can't remember what...whatever. Goodnight."

She attempts to go sleep.

[Empiricist]

<But what determines the difference between a good answer and a bad answer, if someone were to utter out 'because pie!' and believed it with all unwavering confidence, would it be a bad answer? Or would someone who writes an entire text on it yet believe their answer to be wrong be the one whose answer is unsatisfactory?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Those who believe in their idea with conviction, who back their arguments up with what they know, and act as they see fit.
And I can see the difference between buffoonery and insight, Miss Taylor. I'm not that old.<

[Empiricist]

<Is there a difference between what one knows and what one thinks that one knows?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Yes. If one knows of how to cook a flambé, is that not different from if one thinks they know how to do so?<
