Yeah, um... demons like to poison you. These guys usually use weird spores to do it. The flying ones are more dangerous, and if they screech, it can really fuck you up and throw you off. The ones on the ground are a lot less of a pain in the ass to deal with, but both of them are pretty resistant to fire, electricity and ice. I mean, assuming they're exactly the same as the ones we fought back home.
[And also means he's worse than useless, just as he thought, but the plan is to evade and not fight anyway.]
But okay, got it. Let's just try to make sure we keep our distance; if they're around Rage's temple, we might be able to see what's going on even if we stay on this side of the river.
[And actually--]
We might even be able to see something from Spire 2.
[He brightens a little at the compliment, leading the way as requested. As they walk, he's keeping a cautious watch for any demons--or anything else, really--that might be around, but things are thankfully pretty quiet in this part of the city and so he starts up conversation again.]
I didn't really get a chance to ask you how things went for you during the last event.
Is there something you're still not sure about, though?
[She doesn't seem too confident in her answers, and he's wondering if there's either something that didn't get resolved or something that's just sticking with her, even if it did get worked out.]

We'll be careful. The things she summoned aren't what I'm worried about.
no subject
Is there anything I should know to watch out for?
[Specific powers or magic or whatever that demons have?]

[Which is where Lance's apartment is, of course.]

[She's mostly kidding. 90% kidding.]
no subject
That's good. The whole paranoia thing wasn't too bad for you two?
no subject
[She wrinkles her nose.]
It was pretty bad.
no subject
[Because that doesn't sound great.]
no subject
It's mostly just... He's always really hard on himself, you know? And that made it like a million times worse.

But I think it was okay? I think I talked him through it.
no subject
[Talking people through things.]

Wait, I am?

You are, yes.

Um... thank you.

[He sees that look, but decides to ignore it. Besides, there's a topic to get back to.]
You never answered my question.
no subject
[She knows exactly what question.]
no subject
You can just say you don't want to talk about it, you know.
no subject
It's stupid. Forget it.
no subject
[He's really sure it's the latter if she didn't just take the out he offered her, but still.]
no subject
[Still think she's good at talking, Lance?]
