"It doesn't have to."

Aaron understands the concern! It happens sometimes, and... well, that's never an easy call to make. Aaron's just glad it hasn't happened for him yet.

"It gets easier, with training, but we all have each other's backs out there, which makes it less likely we end up having to make that choice."

Nobody's expendable, and if Aaron were to have his way, nobody gets left behind.

"But an attachment isn't needed in order to work together effectively."

It's supposed to be a question, but comes out more as a statement.

"And you can survive for a while only eating bread and drinking water, but you're going to miss out on a lot of other flavours and nutrients out there. You can live without a leg, but that doesn't mean having two isn't good."

No offence to various one-legged persons out there.

"Everyone has their own answer to that one."

How philosophical! Aaron is too young to even pretend to have all the answers, or that this particular question has one objective answer.

"Variety helps, though. Being able to share experiences when you want to, trying different things, learning what works for you and doesn't. It's worth trying now and then, at least."

Though around here, Aaron's more aware he's sidetracked himself with giving quasi-life advice to a random student who looks like he's older than him. His voice kind of trails off because of it.

"So... at the very least, try new things to find something that interests me."

Mark tries to sum up his understanding.

"It'd be a decent start."

Aaron probably isn't the best person to teach people about this stuff. "It's kind of like lifting weights. Start small, build up to the bigger stuff."

After a few seconds contemplation, Mark nods.

"Understood."

Aaron figured a big guy like this would get/appreciate the weightlifting analogy.

"Glad to know. You ever need help settling in, I'm in Pod 5."

Seems like he's taken enough of this guy's time though, so he turns to go. "And hey, maybe we can train together sometime. Look like you've got some good moves."

Said over his shoulder.

"I am open to training whenever."

Aaron said the magic word.

Mark goes back to his shadow boxing!

"I have a class coming up, but hit me up whenever you'd like. I think we can both learn from each other."

He heads off with a wave over his shoulder, letting Mark get back to what he was doing.
