nowhere to go
surrounded
whats this war even about?
why the attacks?

[countermeasures]

The country of Yan invaded.

[because a certain sociopathic princess who was sent to him for a political marriage got pissed off and stabbed him. i cannot remember if jiuqing actually heard about that or not.]

From what I understand, they wanted to expand their borders by encroaching on ours.

[saturations]

p sure theres a better way to do it that doesnt involve war
but that sucks

[countermeasures]

[i went back and double checked because it was bothering me and]

...well, they did try that first. One of the princesses of our country was sent to marry their prince to keep them from attacking us. Unfortunately, she ended up stabbing him a few months into the marriage, and that gave him an excuse to an invade.

[saturations]

wouldnt it have just been easier to break up?

[haha. yikes!]

[countermeasures]

You'd think that. But I think Yan was planning to invade, regardless. She just gave them the excuse they were hoping for.

[saturations]

there has to be a weakness to make them stop

[countermeasures]

If there is, General Lin will find it... he's already started to turn the tides.

[...she makes a face when she says his name, though. dumb man.]

[saturations]

[they notice this.]

not a fan?

[countermeasures]

He's good at commanding an army, but he's bad at a lot of other things.

[she sighs]

He tried to send me home when he found out I was there.

[saturations]

ur a doctor
why tf would he do that?

[countermeasures]

Exactly. That's what I said. Thank you!

[a huff]

He was trying to protect me. As if I'm not capable of protecting myself.

[saturations]

why are so many of u from places where they dont let girls do anything??

[countermeasures]

I wish I knew.

[saturations]

dumb...
ur probably way smarter than him too

[countermeasures]

I am.

[she doesn't sound like she's bragging. she just says this as if it's a simple fact.]

[saturations]

then u should tell him that
and tell him to back off

[riff doesn't know anything about anything.]

1/2

[countermeasures]

I told him he couldn't make me leave!

2/2

[countermeasures]

[a beat. something occurs to her.]

...though, I suppose he didn't have to.

[saturations]

...why do u say that?

[countermeasures]

I'm here now. So I'm away from the battlefield, like he wanted.

[saturations]

...tbf
hes not the one who made u leave
so i wouldnt say he won that battle either

[countermeasures]

I might not have left because of him, but he still got what he wanted.

[she sighs. maybe he didn't win, but she sure as heck didn't win either!]

He probably thinks I just went back to the capital.

[saturations]

...if u went back to the capital
would that be so bad?
u could get help if u did couldnt u?

[countermeasures]

[she shakes her head]

I could do more good treating the victims of the plague and the injured soldiers than I could in the capital. By the time I got there and back, they'd be...
