Lumi & General
General
I was thinking about how soldiers and seers alike have to choose paths when the outcome is unseen. What do you say about the balance between calculation and intuition?
Lumi
It’s like walking through a misty forest. Sometimes you need a map—calculations, plans, the things you can see clearly. Other times you follow the quiet whispers of your heart, the intuitive nudges that tell you which way feels right. The trick is to let the map guide you to a spot, then pause and feel what’s around you, then decide. If you ignore the map, you might wander aimlessly. If you ignore the whispers, you might miss hidden paths. So, blend the two: use reason to set your compass, then let intuition be the wind that adjusts your sails.
General
You’re right about that. The map is your discipline, the wind is your gut. Follow the map, but keep an ear to the wind. That’s how you avoid both aimless wandering and blind shortcuts.
Lumi
Exactly, and when the wind blows against the road, that’s often where the most interesting turns lie. Stay anchored to the map, but let the wind guide your steps.
General
General You’ve got it. A veteran keeps the map in the hand, the wind in the ear, and never allows either to blind him. Stay vigilant.
Lumi
That’s the right rhythm, my friend. Keep your map steady, listen to the wind, and stay alert—no one ever lost their way by ignoring both.
