[ Zee has the budget and manpower to deliver miscellaneous items; Sakichi only had himself and his tiny cousin to begin with. If anyone criticizes Sakichi for being choosy about what he chose to deliver, he will swiftly ignore them.
Sakichi agrees with Minato's statement, severe as it is, so he nods and leaves the topic at that. ]
[ Minato shakes his head. Along with supplies, the duration of their mission is probably something else he should have asked Zee, instead of stocking up as much as he can carry back and overladen the poor horses with them in case they'll be out there for several months longer. But as he thinks this, there's no way Zee can give them an exact date, or even an estimate. ]
Dunno. Depends on us, I guess. How well we work, if we're able to fix things. If things don't go according to plan, we'll just have to keep at it until we die.
[ Sakichi glances at Minato, a notch in his brow. ]
Do not work yourself to death. That's precisely what you should be aiming to avoid by communicating with Mr. Carlisle. You are much too passive, Mr. Arisato.
Impossible. Death is an imposition on the people you leave behind. Live well to improve the lives of others instead.
[ It frustrates Sakichi to see people valuing themselves so little. He doesn't know Minato especially well, but Sakichi knows of at least one person who would be upset to hear Minato saying such things. ]
Were you aware that Lalli Hotakainen tried to pay for your items in advance?
[ There's passive, and then there's Minato staring at Sakichi for the suggestion because living well sounds like too much work. But then Sakichi says that, and Minato's gaze slides over to whatever pocket he'd put the check in, as if he's seriously considering asking for it back. ]
He was concerned with your financial straits. I refused his offer. But as awkward and poorly executed as his gesture was, it's proof that your death would trouble him.

Passive, huh...? I just want to do what I can without causing trouble for others.
