[ Erwin takes the time to read carefully, and by the time he reaches the end there's a small smile on his lips. This mission is entirely different from the first; he'd had no idea she was going on a research mission rather than a combat one. ]
It seems that your time away was relaxed, at the very least.
[ That's more than he can say for those who stayed in Luceti--as far as he knows, at least. But he'd seen some damage left behind: craters in the earth, shattered windows, walls ripped entirely from buildings. Something monumental had happened over the weekend, and it continues to bother him that no one can remember what. ]
I have read about 'deserts' myself. We supposedly have them in my world as well, though none within the walls have ever seen one, and very few even know that they exist. Most are completely ignorant about anything beyond the walls, though that is hardly their fault. Books containing information about the outside world were outlawed decades ago, and anyone in possession of one considered heretical and dangerous.
[Relaxing yes, and quite fascinating too for the opportunity to speak with people from other enclosures and get a feel of the environment. Still, even a day, a few hours, with free reign in the library would have been incredible.
Ginia listens to Erwin, finding it interesting books about the world beyond the walls were banned. It makes sense to a degree, and it makes her think of her conversation with Jean, about the little things like not realizing the world was round. She wonders how many books about the world Erwin's read.]
If you're interested in seeing, I have maps and pictures from my world. We can also discuss tactics for each kind of environment as any of them could be a likely battle zone on a draft.
[ Erwin might have to sign himself up for a research mission at some point just for that very opportunity: the chance to talk to those from other and enclosures and hear what they have to say. ]
I am very interested. The terrain we are used to dealing with in my world is rather limited in comparison to others. Anything you can teach me about other environments would be appreciated.
[Ginia takes her laptop and unfolds the keyboard and sets it back up on the desk. Remembering her conversation with Jean, she's quick to pull up a map of the world as well as a map of the United States. Leaving the world map up first, she opens up notepad and begins typing up some figures and information, pausing now and then to consult her phone for notes.]
