Karina couldn't help but to frown at Chres' reply. While it was true that she couldn't say she 'understood' everything Chres went through, what he lost and his thoughts, in her opinion, those kinds of thoughts were only useful to further throw someone into a spiral of depression, which would, in turn, make it even more difficult for them to find happiness and a reason to live. It is a vicious cycle. 
Besides... Having a team member with that sort of mentality could turn out to be a risk to the rest of the team and considering their situation, more risks were the only thing they didn't need.

[color=6ecff6]"Take it, Chres. This jade candle is one of the few we have remaining and now, you will be responsible for it. If you need a reason to live, do it for your companions."[/color] Karina said, with a serious expression and a firm tone. 

[color=6ecff6]"Remember, you are not alone. Stay strong, Chres."[/color] Karina finished, putting her hand on his shoulder as she nodded at him.

While it certainly wasn't some emotional speak about how life was worth living, Karina already had dealt with similar situations before when training rookie soldiers. While Chres wasn't exactly a soldier, Karina hoped that it would give him some motivation to keep going.

Watching Karina's speech, Akai couldn't help but give a small smirk. Even though Karina sometimes gave off that cold and distant feel, she did care deeply about her companions. Even if it was in a rather... 'militaristic' way.

[color=6ecff6]"Indeed..."[/color] Karina said after a moment when she heard Jen mentioning the salt.

[color=6ecff6]"The Sightless have proven again and again to be rather... tricky to deal with. As you said, not only they now know we also know of their weakness, but our supplies are scarce... Especially now that the Kharu-Natjer are gone. We might have to do some magic with the little we have..."[/color] Karina said as she got the small pouch of salt she received from the Kharu-Natjer.

[color=6ecff6]"Even though we only have a little, it might be just what we need to level up the playing field. We need to make sure to use it well."[/color] Karina said, sighing as she put the pouch of salt back on one of her pockets.
