You're truly an admirable friend. It would serve me well to take note of your grace and kindness.

[ (:! ]

Now, what can I help you with?

[feytality]

Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. von Riegan. [ but she seems especially pleased regardless. ]

Hold my head underwater while I meditate!

[ ah yes a normal thing to ask ]

[shaft]

[ . . . ]

... Are you attempting to have me framed for murder?

[feytality]

Murder? Don't be silly. [ she's the one who gets framed for murder! ]

It's just for a minute, so I can meditate. Usually I'd use a waterfall... but there aren't any around...

[ again, a perfectly normal thing to ask ]

[shaft]

. . .

All right. I shall hold you down with all my strength.

[ Let's do it. ]

[feytality]

[ claude do not agree to this ]

[ anyway she pumps her fist into the air!!! and starts wading into the river ]

... On second though, maybe it'd be better for you to dump ice water on my head....

[shaft]

Does your training often require that you contract hypothermia?

[feytality]

[ absolutely, yes ]

Awww, you're exaggerating! I'm not gonna die from it or anything.

[ as she wades into cold ass river water... ]

[shaft]

Somehow I don't think that "death" should be the baseline from which you judge what's dangerous.

[ He follows after her, but he does NOT get into the water. Isn't she cold? Does she have super powers? ]

[feytality]

Well, I mean, all training is a little dangerous, right? [ is it. ]

[ also no she does not have super powers, she is actually shivering pretty noticeably. idiot. ]

Don't you have to train at something, too?

[shaft]

Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly adventurous, I am at risk of tearing a muscle or straining...

But you're going to get sick like this, and there's no school nurse to assist.

[feytality]

You never stab yourself accidentally with an arrow or anything?

[ that's not how arrows work, maya ]

[ she makes a face, still shivering. gosh, mother hen ]

T-This is nothing! Do you have a bucket or something?

[shaft]

[ He's not a mother hen, he just has a braincell?? ]

Unfortunately, I didn't think to bring my training bucket with me. However shall I repent.

[ So he just crouches down to pool some water in his hands and drop a pathetic drizzle on Maya's head. ]

[feytality]

[ claude is doing his best. maya does her best to concentrate and meditate in the river, but cracks an eye open at the time drizzle ]

Keep going.

[ more sad claude drizzles!! ]

[shaft]

[ He cups more water in his hands, but hesitates... ]

I really don't think this is a good idea. The water's ice cold.

[feytality]

[ this is honestly pretty sad she looks like a drowned rat ]

Hey, I'm not crazy about it either! But if I don't train, then....

[shaft]

What exactly is it that you're training for?

[feytality]

Spirit medium training!

[ time for claude to think shes a witch ]

[shaft]

... You know our powers are gone while we're here?

[ she's getting sick for nothing!! ]

[feytality]

I know, but...

[ hesitates ]

It's been a while since I trained. And when my powers come back, I need to be... ready.

[shaft]

... Are you trouble by something?

[ ... ]

Besides... all of this.

[feytality]

[ fidgets with her hands since he's putting her on the spot like this!! ]

I have people counting on me. That's all.

[shaft]

I see. [ He is still going to try and urge her out of the water. ] You know, time is frozen back in our home worlds, so you don't need to panic.

[feytality]

That's not what I'm worried about....

[ but he wins, she comes out of the water... for now. ]

[shaft]

What's on your mind?

[ He'll take off his jacket and give it to her... Though it won't do much when she's soaked. ]
