[ 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. ]

[feytality]

[ oh, claude..... ]

[ she seems pretty shocked by this ]

Wow... you really are worried about me, aren't you?

[ what did she think ??? ]

[shaft]

[ He blinks at her. ]

Well... yes? Did you think I was lying?

[feytality]

I thought you were just being polite!

[ this is the most anyone has ever worried about her when she's training..... ]

[shaft]

I'm not one to waste my energy on being polite. In any case, I think we should get you dried off.

[ back to the dorms!! ]

[feytality]

[ such a gentleman ]

Well, if you say so.

[ she follows him like a good maya... ]

Uhm, I don't want your jacket to get all wet...

[shaft]

It can always dry later. [ Pats her head. ] You're pretty considerate for a youth.

[feytality]

[ tilting her head at the headpat..... not sure how to react to this ]

Aren't you a youth?

[ he has a young face... ]

[shaft]

... Do I look young? I was hoping that I looked mature.

[ he has a beard? ]

[feytality]

I don't know about that....

[ it kind of looks like the kind of sad teen beard... ]

[shaft]

[ HEY??? ]

I'm 23, by the way.

[feytality]

Oh... you're younger than Nick.

[ what does that have to do with anything ]

[shaft]

That's your friend, isn't it? The one you said you're always looking after.
