You can say something, I guess."

Cuz I saw a video of it happening and someone said your name?

[Duh?]

[adamantlyardent]

[...,..]

I mean...! [hrnghhgnk.] Yyyyyes? I. I did do that? Before? How did you get an image like that? There aren't any recording devices back home!

That--that's what I mean. It wasn't here. It was. Back...where I'm from. The valley, I mean, not like, my house or whatever. And he was trying to kill me! So...!

[pullsheavendown]

I dunno. It's been happening a lot lately, for some reason? Weird stuff happens here, I've learned to just go with it.

[So young. So jaded.]

If he didn't want to get melted, he shouldn't have tried to kill you.

[adamantlyardent]

...

[she doesn't answer right away.]

I was about to say...that it's really weird what phases you and what doesn't. But I guess it's...not that weird, come to think.

[pullsheavendown]

I mean, it is. It's okay to say.

[He has come to terms with being weird. Here and where he came from.]

Maybe there's just...different levels of weird.

[adamantlyardent]

Yyyeah...yeah, no, there's definitely those. Especially here. [a gentle huff, lapsing into a long pause.

eventually:] That's...not really something I make a habit of doing, by the way. Just so we're clear. I was--well, like I said. Scared. And pretty dumb. I hadn't practiced offensive spellcraft in a way to be, like...dangerous to other people before?

Which sounds dumb, but whatever.

[pullsheavendown]

Yeah, it doesn't seem like something you'd do a lot. That's one reason I was so surprised.

[She's got a temper, but not like that.]

Actually, I think it's cool that you focused on other kinds of magic. I mean, there's nothing wrong with combat magic, but it's all pretty...simple? There's nothing that special about me freezing a Heartless with blizzard magic. Doing other stuff with it sounds more interesting.

[adamantlyardent]

[a pause.]

Well, ah...I would imagine...blizzard magic may go over well with people in the wintertime? For sport? I assume you could experiment in such a way.

[pullsheavendown]

Oh...maybe? I usually just used it to freeze Heartless before I cracked them in half with the Keyblade.

[adamantlyardent]

Yyyyeah, maybe don't do that to things here. Unless asked by someone reputable. [a beat.] You...probably don't need me to tell you that, of course.

I just mean! I don't know. There may be other avenues to experiment with? I'm as far from an ice-sorcerer as they come, so I can't really offer insight in that particular field of study, so...

[pullsheavendown]

Eh, don't worry about it. I actually suck at magic.

[Xion is way better.]

[adamantlyardent]

[she makes a sudden, puffed, indignant sound just out of sheer surprise.

a beat.]

Well--[JEEZ.] Well, fine, then. I guess. I...I don't know what else to say on the matter, so I suppose I'll leave it at. At that. Then.

[pullsheavendown]

I--okay?

[That's...a reaction? He'd meant it as a compliment, sort of, or something like that. She's definitely better at magic than him.

Maybe he's reading too much into it.]

Okay, sure.
