[Hello Luceti, the Ion on your screen today is actually Florian wearing a colored paper headdress with green feathers taped onto it. Also his old newfeather dress, because why not. Lying on the floor in a sudden fit of ennui, he picks up his journal for some chatting.]
Ion's chair broke...I wanted to play with it, too. [He pauses for a moment, thinking. If Ion's chair is broken, then does somebody have to carry him around? Or do they find a new chair? Or--oh hey there's a big stick under his bed he'd totally forgotten about that.]
...Is there a special way to punch people? Like how there's special ways to use a sword, and you have to practice and all of that. So maybe I could learn to fight like that, and then I could save the day and be a hero and ride a dragon and--
[He's been lifting the journal higher and higher over his head as he says this from his position on the floor, to the point that it's practically touching the floor--which is when it slips out of his fingers and falls shut. Oops.]

Action
You said you wanted to help people, right?
Action
I want to help. I don't like seeing people sad.
Action
The number one way to help people not be sad or hurt when something happens is to be able to protect yourself. If you can run? Do it. That's a rule. Got that?
Action
So running is more important than fighting?
Action
No, protecting what you care about is more important. But, you can't even start to do that until you can protect yourself. For now, you've gotta run. One day you'll be able to, but it ain't gonna be quick.
Action
[He gave this a moment of thought before nodding his head.]
That makes sense. I don't want to get eaten or something, so I won't fight if I don't know how to yet.
Action
[Florian really was a good kid. It was nice to know that he didn't have to worry about him making any bad choices.]
Action
Action
...So I should only fight if I can't run away?
Action
Just try to remember that.
