This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

[pellameno]

[ He shifts forward to unwrap her bandage, hands steady and careful. ]

It's an application of will. Mostly I just have to want something enough.

[evocation]

Wait, want something enough? So you can do anything? You don't need to learn spells?

[pellameno]

No spells, no magic words. Just me. I guess hypothetically, we can do anything. But my kind is still young. Still learning our abilities.

[ He gets the bandage off and settles a hand on Kyna's shoulder, leeching away her pain so she can move easier. ]

Lie back.

[evocation]

[Ohhh, nice. Suddenly, Kyna can breathe normally. She does as he asks.]

Your kind? What does that mean?

[pellameno]

[ He's prodding at her ribs now, hoping her case isn't as bad as Ephemera's. Running his fingers along her torso to sense the breaks. Any pain she feels at the touch is muted to a dull ache right now. ]

I'm not human.

[evocation]

[Kyna makes a face at the sensation, but doesn't complain. This is how it usually feels. She can deal with this.]

Yeah, I know. Me neither. Well, half, but... Are you saying no one else can do magic where you're from?

[pellameno]

I'm saying we all can. We're all capable of it, anyway.

The pain's going to come back now, I can't really heal and ease it at the same time.

[evocation]

No, I know, I mean—

[She meant his kind is the only race that can do it, but then he says the pain's about to come back and she stares at him.]

Wait, what? You can't?

[pellameno]

I mean. I'll try, but splitting my focus like that isn't easy.

[evocation]

No, it's fine. Just do it.

[She sighs a little dramatically. This might suck.]

[pellameno]

Alright.

[ He lets go of her shoulder and the pain returns, but only as bad as it was before. His touch settling on her ribs is gentle enough that nothing's added, nothing's made worse. Everything's in the right place already so there's only warmth and a strange tingling sensation, as he fuses bone back together. ]

[evocation]

[Not bad. Not as bad as she was expecting, at least. It's pretty much just like getting healed by Bell or Panna, and she watches him while he works, curiosity plain on her face.]

What else can you do?

[pellameno]

Mmm, my control has gotten pretty good with telekinesis and pyrokinesis, but I don't have much raw power to put behind it. I've mostly been focusing on healing, since I wound up here. It's the most in demand skill.

[evocation]

Telekinesis? Cool.

[There's a spell for that where she's from, but she doesn't know it.]

What do you mean, you don't have much raw power?

[pellameno]

It I want to do anything big, I need someone to lend me their strength. Cal and I did bring part of a building down once.

[evocation]

Really? Huh.

[She hasn't had much of a chance to talk to anyone about their magic, minus Lup, and Lup's magic is almost the same as Kyna's. This is all new to her.]

So what's the biggest thing you can move by yourself?

[pellameno]

[ Her pain is fading now, down to a dull ache when she breathes in. He thinks he might be able to manage this in one session, though, so he keeps going.

If nothing else he'll certainly sleep well tonight. ]

I've never really tested it like that, I don't know.

[evocation]

[She grins at him, partially because the pain is fading and partially because of his answer.]

What? We should totally test it.

[pellameno]

[ He grins back a little, curious now himself -- he's mostly only used it to keep monsters at bay. ]

Did you have something heavy in mind?

[evocation]

Uh... No.

[As usual, she didn't really plan ahead, but then she smiles again.]

You can start with Wash.

[hardwearing]

Hey, are you calling me fat?

[pellameno]

[ Pell laughs a little -- that'd be way too easy, for one thing, and for another he doesn't want to wind up having to heal the man. ]

I think I can handle more than him.

[ He shifts his hands, pressing down on her ribs and sensing for areas that might need more strengthening. Just about done, now. ]

How's that feeling?

[evocation]

[She grins at him.]

Muscle weighs more than fat. I'm calling you buff.

[Sorry, Pell. Kyna turns her attention back to him, though.]

Better. It doesn't really hurt anymore.

[pellameno]

You'll still be weak for awhile, and they might still ache, but I can come back and get them to full strength with another session. The faster the better, with everything going on.

[evocation]

Yeah, sure.

[But really, she thinks she's fine.]

Thanks for healing me. It was pretty awesome.
