{ well he wasn't going to attack again when he's genuinely worried. }

I haven't really used that blessing in a spar before and only against demons so I didn't really think it through.

{ he sighs then though, because he has now officially lost another shirt to this. his hand reaches over his shoulder to his back and sure enough, once where there was material there is now a gaping hole from where the wing has torn it. }

I mean did it at least help? Did you want to continue but maybe not go as hard? I heal so it isn't an issue for me but...

{ he'd clearly been hit with some of this and there are signs of it but it's already started healing. megumi isn't so lucky. }

[Yeah, she's unfortunately not a girl blessed with healing capabilities, but it's not something that she'll worry about right at this moment as she dusts the dirt off her skirt.

There's probably some ashes still around from the fire field she created, but it's generally harmless at this point.]

I didn't get to use that durin' the art festival, either.

[Literally could not utilize most of her skillset since she entered a tournament that focused on just her pure swordsplay.]

Fightin' people's harder than fightin' Cancer sometimes.

[She is so glad she isn't a part of a war where she has to fight people. But as for his question,]

I prob'ly should stop here. I can fight even without my deflector, but I was always taught ta run when it breaks.

[And for good reason; that much she knows and understands now.]

I'll have to go ta the research center later 'n have it fixed.

Waitwaitwait-- It broke to the point you have to get it repaired?! { he feels awful, enough that his hands go to his head. } Does it cost money to repair for it? I can pay for the damage!

{ it's probably fine, megumi is probably going to have to get used to it breaking but he's going to offer anyway. it's better to own up when you think you fucked up. }

And if you need help getting patched up let me know. I've had to patch myself up a bunch as well. I promise it's nothing weird.

{ honestly he's too gay for it to be weird, dw megumi }

I just feel really bad it backfired that badly.

It ain't that big a deal, it breaks pretty often when it takes super powerful blows.

[Girl comes from a turn based gacha JRPG where This Is A Normal Occurrence because that's just how the game works.]

I don't have ta pay fer it ta get fixed since the science guys can just study it.

[Since it is, in fact, tech and not magic.]

I can just bandage myself up when I get home...

{ he takes his blessings for granted tbh. barachiel's shield is just there if he wills it to be and sure it may shatter most of the time but it takes the brunt of it. }

Oh. Well, I guess that makes sense... { he does still look guilty though, chews on his lip a moment. }

Well you have my contact now right? So if you need help with anything in the future, let me know. Consider it me returning a favour.

Ya ain't gotta owe me anythin', y'know. I came ta this knowin' what might happen, and if it means I can learn and get stronger... that's all the favor I need.

[That's pretty humble of her actually!]

{ it is pretty humble of her--better than this guy who should have known better. }

Well, if you're sure. I still feel a bit guilty, but maybe once it's fixed we can think of another way to do this where you get more practice and I just take more. I can probably take it. Hopefully.

{ if he doesn't panic anyway. }

[Spoken in the most dry tone:]

Sayin' it like that makes it sound like yer trainin' ta become a masochist...

[MEGUMI-]

Wha-?! No! Really, no. I'm not a big fan of being in pain but I heal really fast so it's better you can y'know, build yourself up more.

{ why is this happening?????? }

The last thing I'd want is for you to have to try something out in a real scenario and it not work because I backed down during a session like this.

. . . Well, if ya say so.

[She's seen the freaks in this world!!!!]

I really wonder if they have some sorta battle simulation like back home.

Yeah, that'd be ideal. I guess you could ask at the research centre when you get your shield thing fixed? They'd have a better idea than I would.

{ he sighs. }

And I'd really rather not end up getting burned and electrocuted myself, so if they have something that'd be handy.

Prob'ly.

[Maybe there's someone who will know there, but she can't say for certain.]

I need ta come up with more fire-based attacks anyway ta practice my Seasonal magic.

Oh-- you're summer as well?

{ why are there so many summer people... }

Though I still haven't managed to do much with it yet.

Yeah.

[Don't ask her, she wouldn't know the answer--]

It's been pretty hard, since makin' fire with the seasonal magic is different from my psychic powers.

{ maybe it's just all the extroverts are out there being summer meeting each other... who knows. }

Yeah, it isn't like my blessings either. I'll probably need to look into it a bit better, but I've met a few people with it now. If you find any tips, let me know?

I've heard that usin' the emotions associated with summer help. What was it again... love, passion 'n anger?

{ he sighs as she lists those out. why are two of them pretty embarrassing emotions to have to use???? and anger is much harder to force. }

They really couldn't have given us something easier to work with?

. . . There's one more, but I don't remember what the word was. I dunno if it's easy, either. Fer me, I've been hopin' ta use 'passion', mostly.

I guess that makes sense. Whatever you feel really intensely about would work for that, right?

Yep. Once I've got that figured out, I'll be able ta do a lot more things.

Yeah. Still, it's best to make sure we know what we're dealing with and learn it safely. I imagine you'll get there in no time though.

{ is this a pep talk... }

Suddenly yer soundin' like my Commander...

[Megumi answers, rather dryly.]

You have a commander as well?

{ he is anything but a commander, megumi, but his commander is not the pep talk type so he kind of... does that part. }

Yeah, I'm part of the military back home.

[Which is the short version of the story.]

Well that explains all the- { he hand motions a twirling sword and flames } Along with the simulator and the deflector.

{ tbf it's more believable than his story ksdjgn }
