The glance Tidus offers Roland is met with a grateful look, but it's a fleeting moment if only because he grows further silent as Tidus speaks and says what he needs to. He takes this time to clean up his notes, writing and crossing things out. Smiling only inwardly, knowing Tidus was there from the start, was part of the reason why Roland suddenly grew motivated to take this far more seriously than he ever expected he would. But that's the way it should be, right? Exactly as Tidus says on his behalf - that Purple had the luxury of the most members, regardless of how arbitrary the segments were. Which meant he needed to get the people most talented in different things to other jobs, other tasks, other places on a mission. That was regardless of color. And he couldn't travel to and fro like Tidus frequently does - in fact, he only ever sees Tidus in Purple to check in on things before he goes back out there, which Roland likes - but that's why he delegates it so someone can inform them on-ground if more hands needed to be deployed.
Plus, pre-mission huddles helped somewhat. Purple was aware of their strengths and Roland would never squander that to just stick to a color, because the train told them to. No, they had to win their victories where they could. Take control of things they had some semblance of power over, like choosing where to work and who to help. To unify as one, not because the train told them to.
Roland takes a quick glance at his wrist, black band still wrapped around it though it was rarely used. Indeed, Roland was of the same mind as everyone gathered across his little makeshift coffee station. No color should stop another from helping; no role too set in stone that they couldn't grow with the need of their community. He would make a mental note to himself to ask the older Voidtreckers - those who were present since the first mission on the written log - how things developed, why they needed to organize the way that they did. They had to get better from hereon out, that was the non-negotiable. They had children in some teams, Blue especially. Roland thinks of that often.
But more than his words, Roland has always been a man of action. Nothing says wanting to do good for the people of the train than to just do it, no frills, no fuss. Tidus too, is good at that; just jumping into the thick things. It's what they probably needed especially as they moved towards a new mission order. So he finally pauses in his writing, looks up and nods at all three. More than anything, Roland is glad to know there was so much care going around for those who were stuck in this situation. That's the best start anyone could ask for.
"All right, so let's get to work on that. Anyone can talk to newcomers on the platform, but there should be a designated volunteer on rotation to handle it. Going back to the need to keep things written, documented. A census of Voidtrecker passengers, what they can do, where they come from, updated every two weeks. And more than having a designated person for all those things...we can make it so that our job is to disseminate information. That way, it won't matter who a newcomer can talk to, lead or not. Everything pertinent becomes common knowledge."
He's got you, Tidus. The writing is natural, book opened mid-sentence and his pen already doing the task of drawing a table of ideas. A consolidated draft of Senku, Gen, and Tidus's suggestions as filtered coherently.
"What else would be good to propose? To think about? We usually hold pre-mission briefings to get an idea of who's going where, but maybe this should be a train-wide affair? Get everyone together, since we'll be mixing up teams anyway."
