"The sign part was a little bit of a joke," she explains apologetically. Really not her talent. Much more at home with theorising, she nods along as Gideon shares her views. One hand reaches out to gently touch the other woman's shoulder to offer some sympathy and comfort. Chloe makes sure it doesn't last too long, however. Just a brief moment to affirm Gideon isn't alone in either her thoughts or her feelings.

"You're right. Being hit, or having a sign, would be passive whereas this... As you said, we're required to jump. Engage and be active. Even if we don't know what's going to happen, we're the ones to make something happen." Be it for the better or worse. Or be it walking away and refusing entirely. "It hits differently when you see it like that, doesn't it?"

The thought of anything revealed in these various trials being used as a cheat code makes Chloe take pause. Possible, she supposes. But shouldn't there be an honour amongst Travellers? Thus far, she hasn't encountered anyone using anything to be exploitative. Unless it's been done behind her back. She'd prefer to think better of everyone.

"I don't think anyone would see it that way," she says softly. "As we're all experiencing similar things, I think it can make others more mindful, if anything." She can't speak for the native islanders but, for the most part, they don't seem there enough to start asking for favours. Outside of whatever hoops are being jumped through in the name of personal growth.
