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

[He's quiet again for a few seconds, responding a little more tonelessly.]

I shot it, several times. I also tried using magic, but it only seemed kind of curious about the fire; the shield worked, though.

[And it worked at exactly the right time that he'd needed it to.]

I didn't want to get close enough to touch it, so I didn't try electricity.

[evocation]

It might be... You know. It's magic, right? Sometimes things like that are resistant to a lot of shit.

[lifetothefullest]

Yeah. The bullets were a lot more effective than any of the magic I tried, but I think I botched burning hands anyway.

[So who knows if it might've been more useful if he hadn't, but he did.]

I only had four bullets left, though, so not a lot of options.

[evocation]

[Kyna hums quietly, considering that.]

We can speed up your lessons, if you want.

[lifetothefullest]

[He glances over at her again, finally.]

If it's okay with you, I'd like that, after you're feeling better.

[He hesitates another moment, before deciding to ask--]

Actually, um, I was wondering if you or Harlan knew any magic that heals, aside from your necklace.

[Because he was already interested in learning that before, but now even more so.]

[evocation]

I suck at healing spells, but Harlan knows one.

[She nudges him gently, shooting him a smile.]

What, are you gonna ditch me?

[lifetothefullest]

[He's quietly relieved she doesn't seem bothered, even though logically he'd known she probably wouldn't be.]

It'd be less 'ditching' and more 'taking a brief detour', and that's only if he'd agree to teach me anyway. You're still the best magic teacher around, as far as I'm concerned.

[evocation]

[Kyna grins.]

You're such a suck up.

[But it's clear she's quietly pleased, anyway.]

[lifetothefullest]

[He smiles a little in response, even managing a bit of a shrug.]

You kind of just saved my life, so I think some flattery is the least I owe you.

[evocation]

Pfft. Whatever.

[Is she flustered? Maybe just a tiny bit. It feels weird to have it laid out so starkly like that.]

You would have done the same thing for me.

[lifetothefullest]

[Finally; this is payback for flustering him all the time so rudely!!!]

Well, yeah. But it would've been a lot less badass and without any teleporting.

[evocation]

It totally would have been badass. FBI agents have to be badass. It's like, a law.

[lifetothefullest]

We're only required to be badass like, two hours out of the day.

[He offers her another small smile and then moves to start getting up for the table, being very careful not to make himself any dizzier than necessary.]

I'm um, gonna go get some rest.

[evocation]

[Kyna reaches out to give his hand a brief squeeze.]

You can totally wake me up if you need anything, okay?

[lifetothefullest]

[He returns the gesture, smiling a bit more despite his exhaustion.]

I will.

[He doesn't plan to need anything, but if he does, he really will ask. It's on one condition, though--]

But only if you do the same.
