"There's no rush."

Dr. Ratio

Greetings, I am Veritas Ratio.

Dr. Ratio

Knowledge should flow freely between people, and the same fate should befall truth. You can ask me about technical problems at any moment, and I shall do my utmost to give you a reply.

Dr. Ratio

But before you ask, remember to establish best practices for intense self-rumination, and remember that time is precious for everyone, as for me, so for you.

[ Wait, what is he doing? ]

E-Eh? You're sending mana already? [Shocking! She thought it would take him a while to even find out how to do it manually. He's really an overachiever!] B-Be careful not to exhaust yourself.

[ Not that she thinks there's any risk but! She's a worrywart. There's no changing her nature. ]

Right. [She nods.] It would be wiser. Though you need understand I described you worst case scenarios. [Always expect the worst, makes it nicer when it doesn't happen!] I doubt your exhaustion will be a handicap to the extent you need to plan around it.

[ Whenever Ratio puts his mind to something, he excels at it. That's just how he's always been, and this is no exception, especially since it has to do with energy manipulation. He spent quite a bit of time mastering that skill (if only so he could do some ridiculous things like sit in mid-air for the theatrics). Sending energy to Ereshkigal is child's play in comparison. ]

That was a miniscule amount of energy. You needn't worry.

[ Compared to what he would have to manipulate to perform in combat, it was truly nothing. But the rate at which energy refills his body is likely to be tested by Ereshkigal's needs, even if what she described was a worst case scenario. ]

One must always plan for the worst case scenario, even if it is unlikely to occur. When it comes to combat, that could be the difference between life and death.

[ Compared to other Outsiders, the only thing Ratio really has going for him is his brain. He doesn't have the leeway to adjust on the fly because he's not a trained warrior. The only thing he can do is plan for as many scenarios as possible. ]
