I think it's more than most people would think it is? I mean, if you hear someone, like, rescued children from a burning barn or something, you'd say, "oh, they're a hero!" And not think much into it, right? And that's fine! It's...a heroic act and all, it's an easy thing to conclude, especially if you know nothing else about the person!

But...you know? I've been told there's people here whose entire careers focus on waiting for, then responding to, fires and disasters. Like...like that's just what they do. Walk into fires, climb into crumbled buildings, the whole thing. For a job that, I'm told, doesn't really pay back the relatively deserved amount of monetary reward! So it's not like a bunch of mercenaries occasionally doing the right thing for coin, it's...it's heroic. To be of a mind that disaster looms, and you'll spend your time preparing for and eventually standing up to it.

Er. Sorry. I...I think about this stuff...a lot. Is all.
