I am currently in the mountains, attempting to contact Kipinn. I am glad to have finally found an opportunity. I have been waiting months for this chance. I shouldn't be gone any longer than a week. I trust things are well in the village?

[And for any who also happen to be in the mountains at this time, they may find him sitting at the entrance to a cave in a meditating state.]

Good luck with Kipinn! Everything is fine here, for the moment. I'm sure that will change in a week or so, but we'll enjoy the calm while it lasts.

I'm glad to hear that. I'll be sure to return before things get out of hand.

Though if you decide to stay up there to avoid the chaos, I couldn't blame you. We all need a break from that, sometimes.

That is true, though it would be even more unsettling to be out here alone while the chaos is going on.

I suppose it depends on the experiment and how it affects you. There are times when it's helped to be with other people, while others it was best just to get away.

[Voice]

Perhaps. I don't recall seeing an experiment that made me want to get away. Or perhaps I was just afraid to get away...

[Voice]

The thought-bubble one certainly made me want to get away.

I'd forgotten about that one, but yes, it was very unsettling.

Kipinn is an eager spirit, I've always found. I've no doubt you'll earn his trust.

That is good to hear.

What type of training do you do in the mountains?

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

While up there, I'm usually communing with Kipinn or honing my jumping techniques.

[The wind spirit is more easily contacted out there, as opposed to the Battle Dome, and no simulation can match real mountain air and altitude. So he has specialized reasons for training up there. Plus, the solitude.]

Jumping techniques...

The mountains are certainly an excellent place to practice that.

That's why most dragoons favor them as training locations.
