Look, Gien. Give her time. Let her discover and give her a good reason why she should help around being an echo. She needs to learn who and what she is helping. She needs motivation. She’s just a kid. Once she is ready, and after all the communication and socializing she did, she’ll want to help them, rather than feel a slave and have an obligation.
yer my theory that he subconsciously just wants to turn back the clock to a time were everything was in it’s place gets more solid, if he was a really trying to get her under his thumb he ether be thinking about bait to keep her there or thinking of some sort of scheme to make the human side want to deport her to the village.
Not to mention that what she is doing right now will go SO much further to encourage her to want to stay MORE than some pseudo military school regimen!
No, he means Selkie’s Proper Priorities, that Selkie would understand on a bone-deep level if only she had been raised right in Haven Jin’Suir, but “No“… Selkie had been taken above the waves, and her ability to hear and project The Song has been damaged as a result. She’s young. there’s time to fix this.
I find that most people who carry themselves as Gien does have the emotional maturity of toddlers. Price of a society that respects age and rank rather than wisdom and maturity.

I reiterate my theory that at least half the reason Selkie’s mother made that suppressor was to protect her from people like Gien.
This. Is it too late to put it back on her head???
Some people “From the Government” have confiscated it.
Gien,
She’s EIGHT. And not a soldier.
Doesn’t matter. To him, people are tools, to be exploited as necessary to achieve his goals.
Wait, I thought it was the son who lost his hand?
The son lost his hand on the last visit but the mom was also missing a hand. It’s probably an occupational hazard.
Sarnothi use Lamarckian genetics.
Ha! Made me laugh!
She’s not “The Echo”, you utter assclown. She’s an EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL and she has a /name/.
Hope you endure this for several years, Gien.

Impressive that he thinks she will give a crap about staying in a podunk refugee village that she has family on the surface.
*now that

I assume by ‘Her true priorities’ you mean *your* priorities, right Gien?

TL;DR? Disguising his preferences as “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm–inJtnc4"
The Greater Good“.
Gods sake he pouts like a toddler.
