He couldn't keep himself from running so fast when he heard who was being sent out. He caught up with the cheerful girl and struggled to not throw up his words. "Nino, Nino!" He called, finally slowing his pace. "They're dispatching you too?" He asked, rhetorically as he knew the answer. Ignatz grumbled something, he seemed upset that Nino would be at risk. "I know you'll do fine," he assured her and himself, "but please be careful out there."
"Hm..." Nino tried to read a geography book of Fodlan; there were more pictures than words, thankfully, but the pronunciations of the locations were really starting to get to her. Her slight frustration with trying to mumble each location under her breath was quickly interrupted by the sound of Ignatz calling her name. Nino wheeled around with a big smile on her face.
"Hi, Ignatz!" She responded with excitement. She nodded when he asked if she was being dispatched, though her smile did start to fade: he wasn't alone in having doubts about Nino being at such risk. Her smile wasn't holding up, but she did still look touched in response to Ignatz, her hands shyly folding together.
"Thank you... I am scared, but I have so many people counting on me, I know I can't let them down... I'll be fine! I have to be!" She gave a determined nod, her cheerful smile coming back to her. "And you'll do wonderfully too! You'll be a big help to everyone, I just know it!"
